I am not confident at all. In fact, everytime I try to speak up or something, I get very nervous/scared of what people will think of me/say about me, etc. I hardly look anyone in the eyes when speaking either.
I want to change though. How can I become more confident and charismatic so that I can essentially be good in any social setting, etc?

i AM IN YOUR SITUATION. I forced myself to talk to people and brother took me out with his friends today and i kept asking them good questions, based on their replies and one girl, his friend wants to hangout on sunday ;D
Force yourself in social situation, doesn't matter, if awkward, it will make you stronger.

What good is this doing you? Man you've only got one life (****in yolo lol) you gotta live it to your fullest. be the best you can be.
Nobody likes people who TRY to fit in either, you know what I mean?
Ive had experiences at parties where I don't know anybody and I go and try to fit in, feel like a fkin outcast and doesnt seem like any of em like me. I realize this then I think to myself "man... fk that.. why the fk do I give a chit what these random ppl think of me anyway" and started just being myself not giving a phuck. I met a group of cool ass people later and if anyone else didnt like me fk em know what I'm saying, I ended up having a good time though .
I'm a bit baked so I might have been ramblingHigh test crew

Take an interest in other people OP. Ask them how they are, what their hobbies and passions are, or whatever. It's really not hard to talk to people, everyone loves talking about themselves. Just be confident and dont give a **** about what other people think of you, because I guarantee they dont sit there and obsess over every little thing you do or say.

I was like that at the beginning of college. I was always the guy that people would forget my name. I unfortunately there's no real easy way to get better. First step for me was to stop the games, excessive internet use, etc. Start seeing your friends more. Go out more. If you think that your friends are holding you back, find new friends. You're not gonna meet girls hanging out with dudes that just want to stay in and play video games. Address your insecurities. Fix what you can, learn to accept what you can't. The only way to get better is practice. There'll be a lot of awkward moments, that's part of the process.
I can't really describe how, but eventually you start to figure out who you are and what you're about. Once you realize that you don't need to the acceptance of others, that's when the confidence comes.
I'm just an average looking dude but lately I've been getting with all the women I used to think I didn't have a chance with. Just gotta put yourself out there dude.

coming from someone in a similar situation, i think this key.
problem is when you don't socialize much, you want to be accepted by the few people you actually do talk to. instead of being yourself, you try to act in a way that would please them. in the end, you make yourself look bad and you become boring.
just gotta be yourself and think to yourself, "**** what others think about me"

thanks for replies guys.
so basically its just a mindset then? If I can convince myself that nobody will care what I do/say and convince myself that its nessecary to put myself out there, then I can be confident?
Charisma would be what then, just appealing to people? Making them talk about themselves, etc?
