Well there's always liquid confidence. Sometimes it's the the only confidence I have. :(

There really isn't a guide for this sort of stuff (an actually effective one at that). Its supposed to be something you have to deal with on your own unfortunately :(.

Work out, lift wieghts. Even though it will take a few months to see a difference, it definitely effects your attitude and confidence in a positive way after a week or two.

Don't worry about everybody else. Hell, you'll always find someone who doesn't like you. Best thing you can do is just do what you do and forget about what others think of you in that regard. What matters is that you like it, not them.

You are you. Those people that don't like you? Why would you care what they think? Be comfortable with who you are.

Then you just need to find something you're good at. You're good at something. Hell, everyone is good at something. Find that something and focus on it. Even if it's sleeping. If it's sleeping, work on remembering your dreams. You'll be amazed at what you can come up with.

I look in the mirror and i dont like what i see

Appearance can easily be changed if one doesn't like it.

Both of these, really. if you like yourself, others will like you.

Working out is a good way to start. When you work out your body releases endorphins, which make you feel good. When you start working out try setting goals for yourself this will give you a you can do attitude. Before I joined the military my self confidence was low. The military helped me gain my confidence back. You will find a way to gain confidence in yourself you just have to believe.

The best way to gain confidence: Say "[censored] it, I don't give a crap anymore."

It's incredibly negative but it works. Some daring moves would never have been performed if I didn't utter those words.

I hate this but im going to say YOLO. Commandant Oreo is right you can't go through life if you are worried about what you think about yourself or what others think. Life is short and we only get one shot.

If you really do want confidence, don't ever say "I don't like me" ever again. NEVER! What you say effects your attitude. Also don't surround yourself with negative messages like music that is sad, or has a depressing theme.

Drink

Or do what I do in every confidence situation, wing it and hope for the best. These things take time though. I'm not a very confident person at all but after a lot of practice I can just about maintain a conversation with a stranger without becoming a jibbering wreck. Try and take things one step at a time, what are your goals and how will you get there in relation to being more confident. Is it in social situations or just everything in general. I always assume the worst. I often don't even bother attempting something if it's scary because well, what's the point of trying and looking an idiot right?

That's honestly a horrible attitude to have, so i've been working to improve that! :D You can always try and give yourself a little make over! Don't worry too much about how you look! Without trying too be too cliched it's whats on the inside that matters and frankly I don't know anyone who looks in the mirror and thinks they are perfect! We all have things that bother us about our appearance!

I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord!
Somebody, SOMEBODY
Somebody, SOMEBODY
Can anybody find me somebody to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE?


In all seriousness though, the key is to stop giving a crap about what other people think, not to say go out of your way to be a jerk, but don't worry if people don't like you. After high school all that stuff really doesn't matter so much. Finding a group of people to hang out with who don't judge you is good as well. Learning a musical instrument or another skill also does wonders for self confidence.
