I spent years searching for and trying to get this thing I was lacking...in turn leading only to more lack of self confidence. Now I try to focus on me, now, and what I have inside me that I will use today.

I think that's certainly good. If you look reliable it is a necessary beginning, and I think it could lead to a positive feedback loop: as long as there is something there to back it up! I think we are all weary of brazen fakes. On the other hand (as Marelisa suggests) not having the ability to recognize one's own true worth is a great shame and I'm sure that a lot of good talent is lost that way. Know that you have earned your worth. It's yours, there is no need to pretend. A first impression of self confidence? I think that’s certainly good.

A good friend of mine is one of the UK top confidence coaches and one technique he uses to give yourself an instant boost of confidence, is 'pretend to be someone who is already successful'. So if you wanted to improve your tennis, pretend to be Roger Federer. If you wanted to improve your presentation skills, pretend to be Anthony Robbins.

However, I think that a lack of self-confidence comes from an inability to recognize one's own true worth. The end objective should be to feel good about yourself and your decisions--that is, feel confident about yourself--regardless of how others act toward you.
