How did you become self-confident?

All my life I've struggled with low self-esteem and self-confidence (personality and appearance-wise). I know that a lot of people have felt similarly in the past (or do now) and I was just wondering what you did/are doing to overcome it? Thanks!

    1) I got rid of the people in my life who only held me down and encouraged my negative thinking.
    2) I added people to my life who challenged me to improve, who told me I was worth it and who encouraged me to think positively.
    3) I took up a martial art called aikido. That was really the one that totally changed my life. In fact it was what helped me to complete items 1 and 2.

    I just fake it. Seems to work most of the time.
