Looking After Yourself
Self-confidence is how you feel about yourself in relation to others. It can be to do with any part your life - your friends, your relationships, your abilities, your body - anything and everything.
If you have low self-confidence you may think less of yourself compared to other people. It may mean that you compare yourself negatively to other people and criticise yourself a lot.
It can be very hard to see things clearly and get a proper perspective, when you’re right in the middle of the situation yourself. So it is always good to talk to someone and when you do you will see that we are all different and all have different qualities – different not better or worse – just different.

Whatever your particular worry, there is always something you can do to make yourself feel better.
