See the self confidence websites, in the depression section at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris... on pages 2 & 10.
Realize that no one in this world is really separate from the world or each other. Also realize that whatever anyone knows is nothing compared to what none of us knows.
There is a great leveler called enlightenment. That is a condition of realizing that we are all children of the same universe and all have the potential for happiness that circumstances cannot take away.
There was a teacher in China who developed a method of meditation through which anyone, who had 20 years and was a brilliant Chinese scholar, could achieve this enlightenment. Fortunately there was a scholar in Japan 700 years ago who figured out how anyone could do this in a much shorter time. His name was Nichiren and his title is Daishonin.

be true to your self. no one else can help and tell you otherwise
1. Know thyself - your strengths, your weaknesses, your skills, abilities and limits.
2. Focus and work on your strengths. Improve or compensate on your weaknesses while being modest and honest about it.
First impressions don't really count - at least for the kind of people that do matter in your life anyway.
People and friends tend to remember you and your strengths rather than first impressions of you (whether you were a confident person or a nervous one).
To Increase Confidence:
1. Make a list of your strong points.
All the positive things about yourself and the things that you are good at doing. Think of compliments you have received or things that come easily to you. It doesn't matter what it is, if it's good, write it down.
2. Choose two of those things that you want to work on to improve even more.
It's important to succeed and by concentrating on the areas you are already good at you will have a better chance of becoming even more sure of yourself. Remember that success builds upon success.
3. Exude confidence even if you don't feel like it.
Talk to yourself in an encouraging way and stay away from negative thoughts and people as you can.
Instead surround yourself with positive, confident, and successful people. This will become a habit and one that will build confidence.
4. Look at yourself in a different way than you are used to doing.
It can change your life and help your confidence level to rise. See yourself as the self confident person you want to be and before you know it you will become that person.
If you have a set-back do not let it get the best of you. Remember the times when you exhibited self confidence and how good it felt and then try again and each time will help you to build confidence and confidence building will become a way of life.
