This isn't the best place to ask a question like that, there's a lot of cruel people here.

thats actually a hard thing to answer

but if you have a lack of confadence in certian situations. grow some balls and go do thoes things

best way to build confadence is to get confadence by doing thoes things

1. Create or be accepted into a primary group of friends. Friends are important, because no matter what, being lonely makes you feel sh!tty. Make sure you friends aren't lazy. Make sure they don't spend all day on the computer. Make sure they aren't overly self centered.

2. Get a job or do some volunteer work. Being immersed into an environment in which you can "in theory" be judged on work performance will make you feel good about yourself, or if you truly like charity work (like I do) you can gain a sense of accomplishment for good.

AND/OR

3. Get involved in a school club. Joining a club can definitely increase your self confidence, everyone in clubs are so nice.

MOST IMPORTANTLY

4. Change your perspective on everything. I'm not saying you are evil, but take ATOT for example. The world is getting to be such a hateful, doubtful place. Often over the wrong reasons. I'm no Mr. Sunshine, but I just fight gross stupidity whether the enemy knows it or not. No one cares what you hate or how much you hate it. Women are attracted to positive people, full of energy and idealism.

That's what I think, I may be wrong, but I ain't gonna cry about it later :)

In my psychology class we talk about the basic human nature to (1) want to feel loved and (2) the desire to feel a sense of purpose/accomplishment in life.

I somehow think these correlate greatly with having self confidence as what you just said.

I think getting a group of supportive friends is really all you need. And a job that you're good at doesn't hurt either.

Who is this who knocks you back down? Maybe it's time to deal out the blows, instead of just taking them...
