Enjoy suffering.
No but really um maybe give a shit about yourself as a social net and not as whoever the fuck you're born into and can't compensate for

man this board sucks ass so far. what are these shitty answers. You build confidence by doing things, be productive, positive self-talk. Set simple goals and accomplish them, also set longer term goals and accomplish them. You have to build confidence, it's just a cope with alcohol. There's no easy solution to low self esteem, you have to work for it. Be productive, learn new things, accomplish things. Set a goal like getting up earlier, cleaning your home and maintaining it, doing any other simple things you put off. Temporary solutions like substances are band-aid solutions and temporary.

Practice with alcohol and then remove the training wheels.

There's tons of things that can be affecting it:
>Chronic anxiety: If you are eating a shitty diet of seed oils and such, you may have chronic anxiety, and will never feel confident until you fix what is actually a biochemical problem from your diet, of high brain inflammation
>Love and Humility: If you have a fragile ego that believes you need to be better than others, and dominate them, and prove yourself, then your ego is fragile and causing you to be insecure. If you cultivate qualities of humility and genuine love for other people, that will fix your fragile ego, and you won't feel the need to prove yourself all the time. Ironically a starbucks barista will often have more social confidence than someone with a prestigious career, because the prestigious career makes them try to assert their ego over other people.
>Ego Fixing: A lot of the stuff is just ego fixing. By meditating, reading religious texts, and getting older and life experience, you will work through a lot of those issues and learn to accept yourself. It takes literally years though.
>Experience: Best way to get confidence is to have experience. If white girls were mean to you your whole life, you will probably have no confidence with them. But if you grew up with a sister and saw how she is dirty, lazy, manipulative, stupid and emotionally swayed like the wind, you would have an easy time with woman. Its really hard to catch up on the loss of experience of not growing up with a sister, but you can do things like work as a bartender or bouncer, or similar social club type things.

Somehow I doubt that OP was drinking alcohol before going into work to give him more confidence.
I think he's talking about girls, and getting money, career and gym will do very little for confidence with girls, because each type of confidence is narrowly related only to its own field of application.
Grinding in the gym gives you confidence in yourself and your body, but doesn't give you social confidence or romantic confidence
