I have been reading a lot of threads and people have repeated over and over again how girls (and guys) like people with confidence. My issue is, is that I am really self conscious and have really low self esteem. I talk myself down a lot and I always think of what other people think about me. Such as I am like 115, but have started working out more, originally it was to get into better shape but now I want to lose more weight. When ever I mention losing weight to my friends they usually "yell" at me because they don't think I need to lose the weight. I've tried in the past to work on my confidence but it has never really worked. I am usually pretty socially awkward and it takes me a long time to warm up to people. Somehow I managed to warm up to my softball team and I am relatively confident around them. But I don't know how to become more confident in general. Any advice on how to build confidence?
