It's better to give examples of your lack of self-confidence.
But in general, you can consider...
1.Doing what you love. People who tend to lack self-confidence, also tend to lack passion in their lives: do you love your job? the things you do in your free time? What are your life's dreams? What moves & touches your heart - are you doing & being close to the things that touch your heart? Are you living the life you really want to live?? When you do what you love, you don't care as much about what other people think, or "success"/"failure" by conventional standards. Ironically, when you do what you love, it's easier to succeed at it - and thus, become more self-confident.
2. Confidence comes from the experiences of success - and those of failures. When failure occurs, you have to learn to pick yourself back up again, and move forward. Reflect on where you made mistakes, and Learn from them. Refine or Readjust your Thoughts/Actions as required. Change directions if necessary. But move ahead. Do this because you Love your Self - and because you Love whatever it is you're doing. Keep doing this - and you'll find your self becoming more confident. Confidence is the reward of courage & persistence.
It is difficult for me to give more specific tips w/o specific details of your situation, so I can only provide general answers.
The best of confidence to you -

Sally:
You have to like you. With that will come a subdued pride, a self awareness, attention to personal details and the inner beauty that makes some women stunning long after the accident of nature that made them "pretty" has faded. Keep your mind alert, stay up on world affairs, have some fun, play some and do all those things that serious people don't have time for.
Forgive for saying so but I'll bet you are already there and don't know it...

Self confidence is hard to build on. It can't happen overnight. Also, you may have a bunch of external factors you are not even aware of.
My suggestion is to work on yourself. Knowledge is power. Sign up for courses, take risks, change your comfort zone. Get interesting. Invest in yourself by knowing about current events, politics, finance, etc. Travel. See the world. Learn about other cultures.
Get your house in order. Chaos in your home shows up in other parts of your life and the way you interact with people. Look at the way you dress, the way you look the way you carry yourself and decide if you project someone who is confident. If you don't, then work on your image.
Most of all, hold your head high and look like you have the world by the horns. People are immediately drawn to people who look like they have it all together.

Think of all the things you have to be proud of. Hold you head high. Keep your shoulders straight.Don't put yourself down. The past is the past. Resolve to show self confidence and eventually you will be.

Take a course in self-defense or martial arts. It is not just a physical activity, it will also boost your confidence.

Decide to be positive, then seek it out wherever you look. Focus on your strengths. Look at the future as all about possibilites and opportunities for you to achieve something important to you. Whatever time you have left is yours, grab it and smile at the world.
