How do you get your self confidence up?

I have really bad self-confidence issues because I was sexually abused. How do you get over it and get back to normal and get your self confidence up?

well as a sexual abuse victim my self..and im a guy...so what worked for me was..
knowing nobody knows unless I tell them..
you dont have a sign on forhead thats says youve been abused...
some prayer...
exercising can do wonders for the mind...
and overall just feeling good,about the positive things in my lfe,friends loved ones,my interests,my goals...
it will never go away..so accept that...and when it crosses your mind dont identify with..it
you've already spent countless time thinking about it and nothing is going to change..so let the thought pass,and occupy your mind with positive thoughts...
and last but not least therapy..which I think is good,I never went...but not everybody is the same...
time heals all,you will be ok if you choose to...godbless and im sorry...peace and love...your a special star...

You are a beautiful person who has a lot of potential to bring out. Live life to the fullest! You have a lot of courage.

 
You may never forget it but you can overcome it. Most importantly you have to KNOW and believe that it wasn't your fault. Once you understand that you have your whole life ahead of you.

You're only 13, so it is easy to be confused, let down, and maybe even a little disappointed with things so far. But they do get better.

Whether you realize it or not, you are a worthwhile person and have a lot of value to contribute to society. Maybe you could get involved in volunteer work with some community service agency. That would do wonders for your self-esteem.

You need to do lots of things that make you feel good about yourself and help you feel that you are accomplishing things.

Maybe set some positive goals for yourself. Like for in a week, a month, 3 months and six months. As you see yourself accomplishing YOUR goals you will become more satisfied with yourself.

Good hunting!
