Do things and involve yourself in situations where you win. Winning at something builds up your confidence.

Confidence is about faith and belief. If you believe that you can achieve or do something your confidence increases.

I lack confidence myself. All I can say is that if your bf compliments you say thanks and don’t put yourself down in front of him. I’ve been told that guys don’t like it when a girl is always putting herself down. Especially after a compliment. Sorry that’s not very helpful, but good luck!

hi there!
i am ready to be the 2nd one to answer you! I also have somewhat of low self-esteem. I am shy and quiet around people i dont know, but sometimes i also do what you do, But i have learned that the first rule is to start loving yourself and your life. Then you need to look past all of your faults and put any bad memories of the past behind you. I mean i have had bad experiences but i try to forget them. So accept yourself and believe that you are just as good as everyone else, and i will not let anyone try to make me feel down. Then make small goals fo yourself to boost your confidence. Like holding the door for that person, or asking for directions, or i am going to act like i am the best thing alive today! Stuff like that. And once you do that, just relax and do what YOU want to do! And dont care what those teachers think, they need to learn that they are supposed to be considerate and nice to you the student.

get over it :’]]]]
