Don't expect others to boost your confidence.

And don't measure your achievements by looking at famous people, or 
goals still far beyond your reach - instead, measure your achievements 
by looking back at where you started from.

Sure. That's why we keep telling you. (And don't think you're the only 
one who needs to hear this every now and again.)

Seriously, STFU. That's the first step to more self-confidence: If you 
can't find anything positive to say about yourself, don't say anything, 
and just STFU. Or maybe say something positive about others, to get into 
a habit of seeing positive things (but make sure not to go into jealousy 
mode).

Could it be that being a loser once used to be a way for you to gain 
something? Attention perhaps?

Gee, and we're delivering just that right now...
