Tips to quickly build self esteem and confidence? 17 guy?
I have low self esteem and no confidence, how can i rebuild it?
As someone who sails in the same sorry low-self esteem boat as you, I would suggest:
Get plenty of exercise, do weights and get yourself in great physical shape. If the gym isn’t your thing, take up sports until you find one you excel at. Nothing builds confidence like being good at something. No one can take your talents away from you.
If you’re not so good at sports, still exercise. Execerise creates feel-good hormones that will chemically boost your self esteem. You’ll also look better,something that ohers will notice and compliment you on – again making you feel better.
Study hard and work on your mind. Being successful at school and going on to have a successful career will give you confidence, because it’s an achievement that you have created for yourself. Intelligence is one of the most attractive traits in a person.
Start believing in yourself. Make a list of the things that make you unique and great. Every day, remind yourself of these things and affirm them everytime you feel low. I started doing this when I was dating an ex who had an obsession with drooling over women in porn magazines – I felt I could never live up to their perfection, but then I started believing in myself and life got a whole lot better and healthier,
I wish the same for you

Surround yourself with more friends and poeple who love you. Just go out there make some new friends, have fun…and you know; enjoy your time. I find myself more confident when i have friends to support me.
And just think to yourself, like why be shy? what am i going to lose if i walk up to that girl and strike a random convo, i mean, after all, you dont know her. so yes, just take chances, be brave, man up, and get out there.
Best of luckk~~
you can do it.

The best way is to invite some girls(if you dont know any tell your friends to invite) to join you and your friends when you go out, this will make you feel more comfortable towards girl, and you will build up self esteem and confidence

"Quickly"? That doesn’t happen.
Exercise, plan your life, travel, learn.

There is no quick and easy tip or answer. It takes time and someone to believe in you. That person could be a family member or relative, a friend, or a lover. You need someone to build you up and make you believe you are beautiful, you are kind, and people want to be around you. Acting confident does not mean you ARE confident. You need to let someone help you find it within yourself. If you have some sort of mental condition such as neurosis, this may require a lot more attention and perhaps psychoanalytical advice and support.
A good thing to practice is dramatics and acting. it helped me with some confidence issues. I still may not be the most confident person in the world, but at least I’m getting there, heh ^^
Wish you the best of luck in everything. Try and find yourself someone in a similar situation to you to talk to. Try and find yourself someone to put your faith in and you’re on the road to becoming more confident

The best way to build your self esteem is to develop your qualities and talents. Join a gym and work out and be in the best shape you can be in; get your hair styled, with maybe some foil highlights, depending on your shade of hair. Dress stylish, and that doesn’t equate to expensive. You can find Quik Silver tee shirts, for example, for ten and twelve dollars at a Marshall’s. I’ve also found their sandals there for twelve to fifteen dollars. Develop a new talent; take up the guitar, for example. Electric or acoustic. Wood burning is also a lot of fun. The more things you learn to do for you, the more fulfilled you will be and that will make you more attractive with more self confidence than you can imagine. I assure you, I know. Best to you.

Hi,
As someone who has been there, I can say that many of the suggestions here are good. In my experience, I would say the following things are important:
1) Have a support network of some kind – people who will be your cheerleaders. If your parents are out of the question or you don’t have a few good friends to turn to, get a therapist.
2) Next try some new activities you’re interested in. Ideally, something to take you out of your current comfort zone. A sport? A martial art? Painting? Just start small. Growth occurs in baby steps, not leaps and bounds.
3) If you fall down, get back up and try again. An instructor once told me, "fall down twice, get up 3 times". That advice has served me well.
4) Also, take a sheet of paper and write down all the ways in which your appreciate yourself. Write "I like myself because I’m…(kind, generous, etc.)" and really let that sink in. If you catch yourself thinking negatively of yourself, think about that piece of paper and what’s on it.
And remember, as a little kid gold medalist Michael Phelps was afraid of the water, so the first stroke he mastered was the backstroke. But with the right attitude, training, and support, we’d probably all agree he is someone who has a very high level of self-esteem. But he didn’t start out that way. It was built over time. You can do that too.
Good luck.
