be more confident in myself and increase my self esteem

Going to the gym and having a fashion sense work magic.

Confidence isn’t something you get or obtain. It’s something you feel. How do you “get” that feeling? By knowing your intrinsic worth. If you say “I have nothing to be happy about” or “I’m not worth anything” then that is exactly what you will find. We see what we project from the inside. You can’t expect anyone to “give” you that. You have to “feel” it for yourself. It’s a personal thing. Do this: Close your eyes for ten minutes a day. Don’t do anything, just sit. Notice how your thoughts “tell” you how you feel. If you’re like most people, especially if you’re a female and/or a teenager, your thoughts tell you that you are not very worthy. You have to meditate for a while to rise above this, but keep going. Lack of self-confidence is not an mistake in what you are, it’s a mistake in how you think you are. You are controlled by how you think and what you think about; that’s your problem. Not who you are. You are actually divine. It’s personal responsibility to discover that for yourself, not up to anyone else. Especially someone you are interested in romantically (wink, wink.) Trust me, I’ve been there. Good luck.

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” ~ Henry David Thoreau

if i don’t suceed in this i won’t suceed in anything. if only there was a drug you could take to give you confidence all the time… i’m serious, i don’t mean temporary inhabition loss or whatever i mean, what if there was an operation where they could insert confidence into your self-esteem.
whenever i feel like i’m close to being confident, i feel like people think i’m stuck up or something. i don’t know. i don’t see anything for me to be confident about. it’s such a hole to be in. if anyone knows how to get out of this negativity, please, help!

i know i can be confident and sometimes i even feel and look good (not today!) but it feels like it only happens once in a blue moon. (have never seen a blue moon. maybe i AM the blue moon!) me and life dont seem to get on too well. life kicks me a lot. im kicking back but i have smaller legs.
