So, here are 8 quick tips you can to do raise your self confidence.

1. Give yourself a pep talk. Tell yourself over and over how confident you ARE.


2. Practice answering questions (from others). Instead of saying "okay" say "I'd be happy to," or "I certainly can!" Practice by yourself beforehand; it's empowering.


3. Smile... a lot!


4. Impress yourself. Do things to reward yourself instead of trying to please others all the time. Please yourself instead.
