I am sure you had some negative experiences in the past. Everybody does. Everybody experiences failure sometime or other. Great scientists, statemen, business people, artists, all experienced failure before they came out of it and achieved beyond common man's dreams. Why? They did not take failures, events of failing, as failures of their personal capabilities. They learned from their mistakes and learned to stop being discouraged and losing confident. I am sure all at one time felt like quitting but they didn't. That's what being confident is all about.
Thinking negative always gets you down. So you don't get anywhere by being negative any way; you might as well think positive, because you get some where. Negative thoughts only get you nervous and nibble away at your level of confidence. So ignore them and find some way to think positive. Sometimes being around positive people, other times reading positive inspiring books, still other times being in the church and so on, whatever helps you get out of that mood, just do it. You know you are good and you are doing good with good intent. So why not ignore negative people and others who just gossip and move forward and be confident. Every time you win, even if little things, like finishing your assignments on time, controling your appatite etc, for every little win, give yourself a positive pat on the back and take your confidence level on more step higher. Ignore negatives because you won't get anywhere with them.
Tell yourself constantly that YOU CAN DO IT THE RIGHT WAY. Give yourself a pep talk several times during the day.
Wish You the Best.

talk less and listen more until you understand how other confident people achieved their level of confidence.

If anyone knows the real answer to this that will apply to everyone, they need to write a book and become very rich!
