    tell people your gorgeus

    uve seen those people who go about saying " look at me im so good looking" the ones who strut etc.

    they do it because they are convincing themselves they are

    it works trust me, it worked for my twin bro,

    works for me too

    just look at urself in the mirror, and say to urself " i look damn good" and mean it

    sing out loud in public, dont care what anyone says, know that you are beutiful, it works, but u gotta mean it

    i mean u just have to look at my cute lil ass n u know im sexy, but sometimes i need to tell myself it, n kiss myself on the cheek u know, :)

    peacies

    Download Elton John - Can You Feel The Love Tonight?, close your eyes and lose yourself totally in that song.

    Everything else comes naturally after that.

    i wasnt jokin (sorry bout the txt talk by the way, habit)

    i have found the best way to get confidence it through being overly confident, even though its fake:) eventually it settles down into confidence, in the end though its all about being happy with yourself and everything around you, i talk too much by the way,

    No magic cure.. It'll only come in time.

    I would say that you really wanna try and do something that your embarrassed to do. If you can get passed that bit and you do it a few times then you should notice that it isn't so scary. Also try and get relaxed when talking to people.

    Stop thinking about yourself.. a bit weird but, low self esteem/confidence is often accompanied by too much focus on ones self. Try and focus on something different, maybe something you like doing.

    Do stuff that makes you feel good mixed with something that makes you feel a little scared.

    Also pay your self compliments and really[/] try to believe them and don't care a less what people might think of you if you do something they have never seen you do before.

    um, did that help any?

    Oh, and remember to practice them things all the time... make it a habit to get into.

    That song called Sun Screen springs to find :)
