More often than not the opinion of others is more damaging than good so it's best to stay clear.
Fake It Until You Make It
This doesn't in any way mean that you should be putting a mask over any feeling that you have however acting like you're confident has the power to bring out someone true confidence. Sometimes making small changes, using things such as shapewear from julietwear.com, taking up a new hobby or speaking out about how you're feeling can be a hidden catalyst into your true confidence coming through. This is not about faking who you are as a person, that will not work and it’s something that we all have to overcome.

Trying looking for your strengths and weaknesses, and write them down. Don’t judge yourself though, you’re just learning about who you are not critiquing in.
Accept That You Have Weaknesses
