Do you wish to build your self confidence and self esteem? One of the most rapid roads to achieving that goal is to start getting in contact with your feelings.
That statement may a little odd, but there are many people who really have to create confidence in their own emotions as a prelude to having better feelings about themselves. It wouldn't be surprising to find that you have invested years and years in learning to disown and cover up your deepest feelings. If this is the case, then you have some deprogramming to do for yourself.
Can you recall when you were a youngster, playing in the park, when a bully showed up and pushed you off the sliding board? If something like this never actually happened to you, ipicture it in your mind's eye. How would you (or did you) feel about that? I would bet that your emotions at that particular moment were sharp and crystal clear -- and I'm sure you had absolutely no problem in letting others know them, whether through yelling or crying, or perhaps chasing down the mean kid and attempting to wallop him back.

I am in no way recommending lashing out physically at others, but short of that, what is wrong about acknowledging your actual emotions in every situation, the distressed and unhappy ones as well as the happy and cheerful ones?
It's a sad fact that the majority of people in this modern world have had drilled into their heads that they should squelch their feelings, and even to label some feelings as bad. Some men and women have absorbed this idea so well that they no longer even know what they are feeling from moment to moment. You absolutely must get in touch with those feelings|emotions] if you want to make progress in building up your self confidence.
Coming to terms with your feelings means acknowledging them all. From this moment forward, grant yourself permission to experience every emotion that rises up within. Don't smother it!
When you find yourself viewing a sad or depressing TV program, let yourself cry. If you see some happening that strikes you as very humorous, let yourself have a good deep laugh, even if you are out in public and others look at you curiously. Yell about the inconsiderate person who just swerved in front of you on the freeway, and keep yelling until the angry feeling or just naturally dies away.
Experiencing your emotions, without condeming them, will free your true self simply as a result of squarely facing what is happening for you at any given moment. And freeing that real self that you have kept hidden even from yourself all these years is virtually guaranteed to increase your self confidence.
