You have to accept yourself for who you are. Be yourself and do things to make yourself happy. No one else.
Confidence is built that way. Believing in yourself. Trusting yourself. Taking care of yourself, and of course people you care about.
Stop caring what other people think.

Good choice. Until you turn 18 you can TRY to practice the religion as much as possible. Doesn't mean turn into a completely religious devout Muslim off the bat, because of your situation. After you turn 18 then you will be able to do what you want and can practice freely. I know not being a very religious Muslim is haram, but Allah will surely understand because he's the most merciful. But do convert by 1) accepting Allah is the ONLY God and there is no other God at all... 2) Muhammad(PBUH) was the last messenger of god. There is a prayer you say to say this in Arabic which is how you convert. "La Illaha illal la Muhammado Rasul Allah." this means what i said above. Say this with your heart and voila. You're a Muslim.

Probably not 'telling yourself'...rather I guess if you change the way you are thinking about yourself, your automatic thoughts and the self talk (the little voice in ur head) will change for the positive and thereby you could probably do a bit more. Of course, it takes time and effort and practise --- it can't just happen within the span of a few days. And it needs to be realistic as well...
Hope this helps...

I dont think its a matter of 'telling' and 'becoming'. You actually have to BELIEVE it. If you don't belive it in the first place then just telling yourself is not going to make a difference is it? Its just not logical. I think to become confident and outgoing you have to adress the areas in your life/personality that makes you NOT confident and NOT outgoing, then when you have done that you will be outgoing/confident.

I agree, as one person said, that you have to accept yourself for who you are. Self-esteem is really the foundation for successful behavior change. But you never really change who you are, you can change your behavior. Telling yourself and changing your behavior through practice is the basis behind Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT. Telling yourself daily helps you believe something is true and you begin to practice what you preach, or hopefully so. In any case, I hope you are planning a positive change. If so, keep working at it, plan confidence and self-esteem. Good luck!
