Tell yourself your pretty. Join some clubs at school to meet new people. Find a friend that helps you boost it up. Look in the mirror and find your best features. I was like you when I was 12 and always told myself “I have really nice legs..” It boosted my self confidence right up.

I felt exactly the same way at your age. Its a teen thing, because I’m 19 now and I have to say I feel alot better about myself now. (Although I spend alot of time on my PC still)
All I can say is, get a hobby. But dont force yourself to socialise with large groups of people immediately. When I say hobby, I mean something like electronics / programming / reading / painting / bmx / photography…
Once you have something you can relate to other people with, you will certainly feel alot more confident. Also, it doesnt help to try and rationalise or self-diagnose yourself.

Get out and get involved with a small circle of friends or club. Encourage eachother, get makeovers, dressup and tell eachother what each person nbest asset is. Focus on that and put that foot forward when ever you go out. Little by liitle start meeting new people and socializing. But always encourage eachother. What youre going through is normal it just comes at different stages of teens years. My daughter is going through it at 14, I went through it till I was 17 now im the biggest clown around and called by my kids friends as “the cool dad”. God luck but always talk about your problems. Do not stiffle them
Be good with urself in ur thoughts. Normally we criticize ourself with negative thoughts thats leads to failures and hopelessness in life. Never do this to urself. Remember we r the best friends of ourselves, if u discourage urself will such thoughts then there is no one to encourage u. So think positive.http://www.managementdynamics.info/
Maybe I should do some of this. I’m 23 and I have very little confidence myself. I mean, I went out to a bar the other night and my friends tell me that I need to open up more. I don’t even get out of the house much. I guess I need to do just that.
give yourself a makeover. do something you love. talk to people more. be yourself and love yourself there is only one you in this world embrace that. seventeen magazine always has stuff like how to gain confidence in it and i bet you are a really cool person.
I feel you man. And im a gurl.like yesterday. I was confident when i was in the house. had earings on make up. and then when i saw theother girls and .Sigh. i don’t know what happened. so usually i walk with my head down
Watch abunch of tv shows and movies and get a makeover, grow out your hair have your mom help you put on makeup be nice to everyone and smile, and you’ll get friends(:
G3t out more. Join sport team, clubs, volunteer. Do things that help you meet people. Or you can also get a job. You can make a lot of friend doing those stuffs.
