School?  \n\nI'm sure you have plenty of lovely qualities - you just have to think about what they are.\n\nAnd you know one thing that will always make you feel good about yourself?  Helping others - volunteering.  Bringing smiles to peoples faces is the best spirit booster ever :)

Build up self confidence by always believing in your self. Laugh at your self when you know you have made some stupid mistakes. Act a little more slowly in carrying out any activity. People will definitely see a different you. They may even rate you a genius. Good luck.

A tried and tested technique to improving self-confidence is as follows:\n\nLook in the mirror every morning and tel yourself you are beutiful, you are clever and you can achieve anything.\n\nLook in the mirror every night before bed and tell yourself that you have done your best today in everything you do and tomorrow you will do better.\n\nDo one thing each day that scares you.\n\nBe with friends that value you for who you are and remember you are a human being and as such you are special.\n\nYour family loves and values you and if you smile the world smiles with you.

Focus on yourself. That doesn't mean that you should become self-centered, but it means that if you spend too much time worrying what other people think, then stop.\n\nI know that it's easier said than done, but be yourself no matter what. It's hard, but it's worth it.\n\nSometimes buying a new shirt or getting a haircut gives me a boost of confidence. It's only temporary, but sometimes it's the boost I need to get working on other areas of my life.

self esteem is how positive you feel about yourself.  if u are happy with the way you engage in social settings, your confidence level is good, your are generally content with yourself, your self esteem is normal.  if you have low self esteem, your generally are not content with the way you behave, how u see yourself, and generally not happy on how you think u present yourself to others, then u have low self esteem.  u develop self esteem through life experiences, and self evaluation,  sometimes self esteem can take a while in ones life.  if you think about yourself, and find things u do not like, then u can work on these to increase your self esteem.  u do have to set realistic goals for yourself and know what u can do and can"t do.  you have to be content with your self and realize that everybody has limitations and you have to accept that.  for example a brilliant doctor may be good in his field, but realizes and accepts the fact that he may not be able to fix a toilet.

Low self esteem comes from exaggerating the importance of your weaknesses and minimizing the importance of your strengths.  The way to overcome it is to reverse this process.\n\nPeople have different skills, abilities, characteristics, and it is not uncommon for someone to consider the area in which they are most lacking to be the most important.  Thus, a pretty girl says looks are not important, but brains are; a smart girl says looks are more important.\n\nThe fact is, you must play to your strengths, and develop them.  Look around at the people you admire:  what are the reasons you admire them?  Don't you think other people can admire you for what you are, and not for those areas in which you are found wanting?\n\nAll my life, I have been told that it comes down to money, looks and brains; I failed to consider other factors, such as integrity, courage, good manners, good judgment.  I was below average in money and looks, and so discounted the extent to which I was above average in intelligence, as well as the importance of intelligence in other people's eyes.  This is especially a problem because envy cannot be recognized lest a person seem vain.  My beautiful friend cannot, with good manners, admit to others that she is very beautiful, so she does not see that she must admit it to herself.  \n\nLook for your strengths, develop them.  Look for situations where those strengths are most important, and pursue them.\n\nGood luck!

You have superior intelligence - but you need to work on your self esteem.

Hello! Can understand what you mean. Have not got too much self-esteem neither... but I have come to accept that it is not okay for me to feel that way somehow. I want to change it. Think one really needs to decide deep within to change it. There are many beautiful suggestions here. A counsellour I saw some time ago told me that I should say out loud "I am a wrothwhile person and I deserve to be happy." ... and it worked. Just that I became kind of lazy :o) . What might help you as well is the link below. It might seem childish but it really does help. Enjoy it and good luck to feeling better toward yourself :-) !

Just believe in yourself. Once you believe yourself then you will have confidence and other people will also believe in you.

Try Confidence Club.com, the cds they sell may be useful, either that or try a confidence coach, maybe even some counselling.  I know exactly how you feel and I have tried all the "positive thinking" techniques but sometimes you do need a little help.

First improve your body language. Sit up straight, always have a slight smile on your face even if you are not doing anything(this encourages people to be open to you and even ask what your thinking), look directly at the person so they will feel trust. Ask questions and really listen to the answers.

Find 3 or more (up to five) qualities that other\npeople don't have. Add them up and realize that you were put on this earth for a Damn REASON, that you are as good or even better than other dudes and don't slump your shoulders. I hated myself for so long until I was about 23, when other people had to tell me that I was good and a good friend to have around, that a lot of people found me attractive.
