Ok well I’m going to start high school and i don’t have any confidence.I’m really shy and quiet at school but with my friends I’m like one of the most outgoing persons out there. But a big problem i have is that I’m really low on confidence and self esteem even though everyone is always telling me how beautiful and sweet i am i always feel the exact opposite.How can i get confidence and high self esteem and see myself as everyone else does?
beauty isn’t the only thing that esteem is made of…
what are you good at
what makes you feel successful
what makes you feel inspired
what makes you feel happy even if there’s nobody around…
Think about these things and write them down somewhere
stick it up on your mirror to remind yourself daily that "The worth of souls is Great in the sight of God" D&C 18:10
…or whatever Divine you believe in.
Know that beauty is only skin deep…
Your Self is who you are inside
Try finding a hobby… art, dancing, running, writing, whatever strikes your fancy…
Do something that makes you feel successful to yourself, NOT ANYONE ELSE’s OPINION!!!!
self-esteem (or feelings of self worth)
and
confidence (courage to be JUST YOU)
will Naturally follow….

To make the question narrower, let’s say how should I deal with a girl who has a very low self-esteem? We’re close friends and we may take this to the next level and form a relationship. IMO this is what we both want to. The problem is that she freaks out when message I her late. It seems that she thinks that I may consider her questions stupid or something.
What is the best way to soothe her and make a balance in our friendship/later, relationship?
Just reassure her that that isn’t the case.
Give her compliment her and make her feel special
I use to have really low self-esteem but it is a lot better now, thanks to my boy friend.
When we started to go out, I was so nervous that he didn’t actual like me, because I thought who would like me?
But he tells me every day that he loves me, and helps me through things I’m not good at, gently and with reassurance.
She just needs to know that she does mean something to you and you don’t think she is stupid
This may take a while, and it may be hard work at times, but her self-esteem with go up and she will become confident.

Why are some people confident and have high self esteem?
Why are some people inconfident and have low self esteem?
What determines if a person develops a high self esteem or low self esteem?
How is self confidence built and is it all in the mind, of what one believes about oneself? Or is one’s self image a real reflection of the reality of one’s genuine abilities?
A person develops low self-confidence if they can sense that they are not liked or appreciated by other people. If you try to make friends, for example and get rejected most of the time, you are likely to lose your self-confidence.
If you try hard to pass a math test – and fail instead, your self confidence will suffer.
I believe one’s self image is, in part, a reflection of one’s genuine abilities. If whatever you are doing is not being accepted by others, then you are bound to question yourself.
What mental health professionals, on the other hand, seem to believe – is that self confidence is all in your head. They think that if you are not confident, that you are showing signs of a pathology of some sort. Without truly examining the negative circumstances you are experiencing in life, they think you should be taking medication or that your thoughts are somehow ‘distorted.’
When someone is lacking confidence, the first thing to ask is if they are getting more negative (than positive) feedback from others.
