I have a good friend that has just asked me to help him build his low self confidence. Now i myself have been blessed with Abundant self confidence so i have no idea how to actually gain it. Any ideas?
Self confidence has nothing to do with building it up.
It is the absence of FEAR. Your friend is afraid perhaps of how he looks, what people will think of him/her. But you cannot control what other people think or do and some will dislike him/you/her whater but then there are others that will. You have to rationalise the fears.

Take your friend with you and do something that may make him shy or nervous. Ex: Pick up girls.
Start small and build up his confidence also peer pressure helps but remember keep it legal and keep it safe.

Well it helps to dress really nice, be well groomed and have the ability to converse with people about anything – educate oneself on the current events of the world, books, stuff like that. That is what helped me in the past.

Encourage this person to pursue interests in which they excel. Success and Self Confidence naturally follow. You are a good friend to have.

I think self confidence is more of something he has to gain on his own, but you could help by showing him the positive things about him. If there’s something specific that he’s unconfident about, then work on making him feel better about it.

Perhaps you could go to social clubs with your friend and both go your own ways, but make each other available for a crutch if necessary. Or, you might know some decent people(who your friend doesn’t yet know) who you feel confident won’t hurt your friend in his practice.

Self confidence. Sometimes I say something that I do not believe it myself.
When I put on something like a nice dress that I know that it fits me good, a blouse that matches with my skirt or the pants that I have on, that make me feel good, I just feel confidence of what I have on where ever I go.
Low self confidence is when the person loose interest or either when he or she feel without self steam. When the person feel guilty because he has done something wrong and need some one to take him by his arm and tell him keep being yourself, you can continue because there is a reward at the end of the road. Etc.
God bless you.
