How can I be more confident???!
Question: So, right now, I lack a lot of confidence. I hate the way I talk, and it sounds funny and stupid, but I can't help it. At previous schools and at public places, I have had my voice made fun of, but I avoid talking. I wqant to be more social and make friends, but I lack confidence. How can I be more confident and get over self-doubt??? Because of my voice, it's made me super self-conscious, making me super shy, quiet, and awkward. I avoid talking, but I want to talk without being made fun of. Is there a way to be more confident?????

You've got to find a way to be OK with your voice being made fun of.
This is a monster you've created that only you can face. If you think about it, its your perception of the people making fun of your voice that's the problem.
It could happen that most actually enjoy hearing your voice but perhaps it does have a funny pitch or something and they laugh, not out of spite but just because your voice tickles them.
If your voice is worse than I imagine here, same rules apply.
Figure out how to be OK with people laughing at your voice, and not be affected by it. And this not by being aloof with airs of false bravado, but rather attain it by learning to love the fact that you've got a voice that makes people laugh.
It will take time, but it can be done. And once you achieve that, there'll be no stopping you, bcos, applied to other aspects of your life, you're as good as made...
Trust me... If you need a hand on learning how to be ok with it, message me, and we see is we can work out a formula for you.
I have also same problem but i can decision only on mine behalf
basically you can try doing things you know you would never do, dress differently, try different things with yur hair. someone has to compliment you on that then you will start to adapt to new people which will boost you confidence. the only thing is don't change who you are for anyone.
Yeah of course their is. Don't EVER let anyone get you down EVER. People make fun of others usually to make themself feel better and don't let them win. Because right now your just playing into their hand. If it isn't your voice they make fun of they would just find something else. Be yourself if people don't like it they can go play on a busy railway. You are who you are and their isn't anything you can do to change it so get out their and stop caring what others think because once you start to care what others think about you then your screwed.
If people don't want to get to know you because of your voice thats their problem they are probably missing out on a good friend. If someone sees that you have no confidance they will eat you alive and push you into the hole deeper and deeper until you finally say thats it.. Only you can truly change how you feel about yourself but remember.. a true friend will like you for who you are not what you sound like or look like. So get out their and show this world what your made of.
Try finding a voice coach. Someone in your school music dept might be able to help.
If that does not work try increasing your intake of foods that raise your testosterone levels.
If that does not work - try going into comedy and using your unusual voice to your advantage.
