1. Think about what you have already done in your life
Even if you experienced failure and unhappiness in your life, there certainly are a few achievements.
These need not be great achievements, but quite simple ones, such as getting good grades at school or college, promotion at work, getting along well with your neighbors, getting your driving license, or learning to swim.
Thinking about those achievements makes you realize that you have experienced success in your life, and not all is failure.
This would make you feel better about yourself and about your life, and improve your self-esteem.

2. Focus on what you did and achieved
If you keep thinking about failure, you unconsciously expect and anticipate it, and might eventually attract it to you. This would further spoil your sense of self-confidence.
You should replace this negative movie in your mind with a movie about success. See yourself in your mind, where you really want to be, living the life you really want.
If you keep watching a movie of success in your mind, you will eventually attract success. This process would build up your self-confidence.

Lack of self-confidence goes hand in hand with lack of willpower and self-discipline.

6. Set small, simple goals
Set small, simple goals that are within your reach, and go achieve them. This will greatly boost your confidence.
I am talking about really small goals, such as cleaning and arranging your wardrobe or drawers, inviting friends to your house, starting to learn swimming, taking a short walk, or talking with someone whom you don’t like.
These small acts will make you feel better about yourself and increase your self-confidence.

7. Develop a positive attitude
Instead of focusing on negative events and expecting the worse, make the effort to focus on the positive and expect positive results.This might not be easy if your mindset has always been negative.
However, with persistence, you can change your mental habits and build a positive attitude. You will find plenty of information about positive thinking at this website.
It would help, if you strive to remove from your mind and from your vocabulary all negative thoughts and words, and refrain from using them in your conversation.
