how do you gain confidence? i suffered from acne and now im all clear up its wierd now i smiles from girls but most of the time at school i just have my head down when im walking or talking to someone. I hate making eye contact with someone, it feels like their looking at my imperfections and it makes me feel small compared to them

Well the fact that your skin is clear should really help boost your confidence. Girls are admiring you now so that's also a big plus.

All you have to do now is chat with some of them that notice you. Just say "I'm not just a piece of eye candy you know, hahaha! Hey I'm Cris by the way, whatsup...." Simple as that. Also smile more dammit. The more you talk and laugh with friends the more confident you will become.

Its not going to happen instantly and it won't be easy either, but you will definitely improve. Goodluck.

Perfectly said ^, your acne clearing up, should be a good sign to give you some confidence. Just relax and be yourself, and just talk to them as if normal, and I dout people are judging you when you make eye contact, and honestly who cares what they think, you can't let them think bad of yourself, hoped this helped

There's a saying, "fake it till you make it." Well that's pretty much it. Just keep acting like a confident guy, and before you know it, you'll be one. Another trick is every morning, when you see your reflection, give yourself one compliment. There is a small risk of this making you a little douchey, but that's a minimal risk.
Stand up straight, smile and think positive until it comes naturally!

Everyone has their imperfections. Don't let them hold you back. Embrace them. I promise you that they are not looking at yours. You cleared up your skin and that should definitely help. What you need to do is walk like you own the place, keep your chin up (literally and figuratively), try and constantly keep a smile on your face and I know you said you have trouble looking people in the eye, but that is one thing that can really get you far. It will help people to take you seriously and definitely make you look more confident. Really hope this helps you in some way!

How I gain confidence is when I tell myself "jeez man Im pimping" sounds corny but it works!!!
