I won't even be friends with negative people. I can't imagine women think differently, no one wants to be around a negative nancy.

Confidence isn't some big secret to life or dating. If you aren't happy with your life, change it.

Depression is a mental illness. It can be treated. Talk to your medical doctor and see if he/she has any ideas.

I remember when the solution to persistent negative feelings was to find out what it is that was causing the problem and address it.

Now, if you feel sad, take a happy pill.

It is better for you to smoke some marijuana.

I don't know any attractive guys who lack confidence. Maybe they just hide it well?

See a psychologist (no drugs). If you're still in school, you can see one for free, probably. Sometimes depression is the result of bad mental habits. ("I can't get a date. I'm worthless." --just an example). Sometimes it's the result of some past issue that needs to be addressed. Give it a shot, Kid. Or maybe you just need to hang out with friends more, get a support network going.

What are you doing this summer, btw?

Good points. The family doctor may have referrals to psychologists or licensed clinical social workers, neither of which would prescribe drugs, and both of which could help talk through some of these negative emotions.

confidence is not only highly attractive to women but to men as well. people will follow confident failures to the ends of the earth and off the cliff but one thing that they cant stand is someone who questions themselves and doubts and hesitates. uncertainty and self doubt is like skunk juice to women.
but trying to attract women is not a goal for me. being attracted to beauty and life around me is the goal.
as i appreciate and enjoy small things around me, cats and plants, i am more receptive to beauty. nothing greater to take away my confidence in the universe than to think i am not getting what i deserve. when i learned to do this the women lined up to be with me (also cats).
