Write down all your strengths, and then celebrate them! Your friends and relatives may add to your list of strengths if you ask them.
push it to the limit
thru accomplishments and the pride you get from them.
Talk nicely to yourself in your mind.

Do things that make you feel good and happy. It's not that hard to come up with things, the list is endless.
Try to speak less n keep patience..
daily incantations.
say to your self "every day in every way i'm feeling strong and stronger" over and over.
sounds corney, yes, but trust me it will work!
Do not dwell on other people's standards, for they foolish and carnal. Dwell on your own, but be realistic and optimistic for a new day holds a new challenge. Make smart choices and do not live your life in fear so that you wont look back one day and all you see is regret.
i think their is nothing wrong with a lilltle altereago but you have to get rid of your pride cause that hold back alot of people self esteem most time cuz they really care what people say about them i say dont give a dame about people and just be your self..

My friend is the same way. She is perfectly attractive, even has a boyfriend, but she has no self confidence.
Heres what I try to tell her.
#1: So what if people on the street see you? How many people do you remember seeing on the street and remembering them specifically and judging them and whatnot? My guess is none. And its the same way with everyone else. No one is scoping you out to judge you or bring you down, they're just in transit living their own lives, so don't stress, you'll probably never see them again in your life.
#2: So what if they judge you? Yeah, there are some situations when people look, and people think. But so what? Seriously, ask yourself. So what? They can say what they want, but its not what you are, and you should know that. You're attractive and you seem perfectly nice. You have nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing to be shy about. Blow it off, someone so superficial isn't worth your thoughts and attention anyway.
#3: Flip the perspective of covering your body. Its OK to be modest and cover up your body, but don't do it to hide! Being modest and being conservative with your body is a wonderful thing, and it gives you a sense of owning yourself and respecting yourself. Some girls like to share every curve and line of their bodies with everyone who can look, and thats OK to, its their life choice. But if you don't want to be seen for your boobs and behind and seen for your mind, being modest is a good choice. I can't stand getting looks either.
#4: Remember, You is You. No one else in the world is like you and no one will ever be, cherish that and get to know yourself well. The most important person in your life is the one living it!
#5: Allow yourself an ego-boost. Its alright to be proud of yourself, it doesn't make you self-centered or shallow, it makes you human. Give to charity. Help someone out. Its a good way to feel good about yourself and others!
As a note, I never wear make up, tight clothes, or do anything spectacular with my hair, because I'm confident with what I am and how I present myself. I think if you start to change how you think, then you can start to change how you feel. People who tell you to wear tighter clothes and wear make-up are thinking about the outside before the inside. Its important that you look good to yourself before you look good to anyone else, remember that.
If you need any help, go on and email me!

you need to love yourself! Tell yourself positive things and believe in yourself. don't worry about what other people may think...read Joyce Meyers and turn to your higher power for strength!
Buy a new sexy outfit, take a ton of time getting ready and just go to normal places like the grocery store or the mall and walk around like you own the place and I bet you you'll feel a lot better! I take more time getting ready for work, and when I walk in the gas station on my way to work to get gas or anything I get people staring and smiling at me and even when I was pregnant some one said "Oh when I seen you in the car I thought you were really pretty but I didn't realize you were pregnant sorry!" And at 9 Mons. I needed that boost of confidence!
any time a negative thought comes through your head stop it, instead put a positive thought in it. like I'm a good person, try not to be around negative people who are always making rude remarks about others, how do you think they feel about themselves. remember we go through our life with negative tapes playing in our head, we are responsible for are happiness, and it takes alot of work, so practice everyday. and if someone one gives you a compliment accept it, just by saying thank you, you are worth it
You are not alone in this world..
Don't deprive yourself of your self-worth!!
You only need a HELPING HAND,
just like anyone else out who does at any point of their lives!!
