Self confidence is developed through life experiences, the way we were brought up, the people we grew up around and the way they treated us, our personality, etc. There's no quick way to improve your self confidence if it is fairly low. I can only suggest that you put yourself in more situations you aren't usually comfortable in and make more friends and learn to love everything about yourself. Some people will always have a lower confidence than others, and that's normal and ok. Compliments don't hurt but they're not where confidence comes from. If you're young that may also come with age. You'll be fine :)

Personally my confidence is quite low, but I still have a lot of friends and family who love me and that's all I need. I don't think I'm ever going to be loud and outgoing, but I'm ok with it. I just make sure I maintain my relationships and make the most of life.

self confidence builds by how you feel INSIDE, not by people telling you you're 'hot' or 'sexy' or something... 1000 people can tell you that, and you won't believe it unless you feel it inside.

It develops along the way. Growing up when you feel loved, cared for, have a good education, are given enough chances to do things/ take risks, have a good back up, know you can fall back on someone, helps build it.
To improve on it is up to you. You have to shed inhibitions, fears, develop on your abilities, try to get rid of negative feelings. Can be difficult if you feel that you will be judged at every step. But that does not matter because most of the time no one really knows the answer and are just seeing if your way is it or not. If it fails, okay. Forget to blame and try to solve the problem.

Mine comes from acceptance. Progress, not perfection on a daily basis. I allow myself to feel sad when I'm sad, happy when I'm happy. I give credit to myself for what Ive been through in my life and were I am today. It all comes from with-in first. The rest comes later, praise from others,etc.

WELL TO IN PROVE YOUR SELF CONFIDENCE.WELL ITS START BY YOURSELF LOVING YOUR OWN PERSON THE INSIDE AND THE OUT SIDE THAT'S ONE.AND STAY WITH A GROUP OF FRIENDS THAT ARE POSITIVE AND YOU WILL BE POSITIVE TO NO NEGATIVITY AT ALL .

Mine comes directly from how I view my self as a person. It's related to my own internal measure of my integrity and how I have enlarged, maybe bettered, myself through my own actions, reactions and thoughts as I've experienced something.

Acceptance is a big part of it for me, knowing whether or not I was true to myself and did the best I could in that situation and how I've learned and changed as a person because of it.

Confidence is related to self worth in the end I guess and be able to live with yourself in a comfortable way. Building it comes through life experience and accumulates as you come up against challenges and your attitude towards them. You also must come to the realization that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with you in the first place...
