Answer 1

take it steady and dont be too hard on yourself......take safe steps and not feel pessured by anyone else and dont put too much pressure on yourself..so you set yourself up to destroy any confidence you have left.
find something that you love doing...and practice not worrying about what others think of what you do...you do it for you not anyone else....
if you can get support from non judgemental and non critical people that will help you alot

Answer 2

well there could always be the possiblity of social anxiety. But if you go to your doctors and its not that, then just start becoming mentaly stronger. Thats what confidence is about. To be confident you cant be afraid to be your self. A confident person donesnt care about what others think of them. They have no embarassing moments.

Say what you mean and mean what you say, becuase those who mind dont matter, and those who matter dont mind.

Answer 3

its easy to have a low confidence, ok, firstly just talk to random people over the net, they dont know where you live so theres nothing to be scared of, get a job in a store or just go out more

Answer 4

Why not join a social club with varied activities? Do you have a local community centre?

Answer 5

You're already building it up by asking the question. Just keep talking to people, and slowly, but surely, it will go up.

Answer 6
