Liking your self increases confidence

[sjoes006]

Work in your internal self talk. Most people with depression all have a really negative inner self talk. When you catch yourself going into 'im ugly, stupid and will never have friends' stop yourself and realize you in fact aren't by far the ugliest person you know, at worst you are if average intelligence and you are no less deserving of friends than any other person. Then force yourself to come up with some positive aspects you like about yourself no matter how tiny it is. Each time you do this exercise come up with new things you like about yourself. It retrains you thought process and once you cut down on the negative thoughts you'll begin to feel better.

But I'm not ugly or stuff. . I don't have any negative on my appearance.. but my mind is all eerie and thinks about stuff... around or anything... it cuts way too much of a day

Um.

Everyone is good at something, so discover the things at which you excel, and then focus on your talents. Give yourself permission to take pride in them. Express yourself, whether it's through art, music, writing, or dance. Find something you enjoy and cultivate a talent to go with your interest.

Adding a variety of interests or hobbies to your life will not only make you more confident, but it will increase your chances of meeting compatible friends as well.
