Practice makes perfect, and you can actually practice and become more confident with yourself. Many times, being confident has is often the fear that you might humiliate yourself.  You’d rather blend into the crowd.

Become More Confident with Dancing
Did you ever go to a club and want to disappear into the crowd rather than be the star of the dance floor?   One way to get more confident on the dance floor is to simply enroll in some dancing classes.  Your fear of dancing might just come from the fact that you don’t know what you’re doing.  But, learning some dancing you’ll ultimately feel more confident on the dance floor.

Become More Confident With Language 
Did you ever feel too embarrassed to speak in a foreign language simply because you didn’t know the language that well?  When I first started learning German, I was embarassed to try speaking with someone.  But, after learning the language for a few years and practicing over and over I was no longer to speak with anyone in Germany, often I would even start up the conversations.  I was much more confident just through practice and once I didn’t worry about how I was going to appear speaking was no problem.

Become More Confident in Social Situations
Some of us learn to be confident in social situations earlier than others.  Or, we might have had a few bad experience that shys us away from social situations.  The best I advice I could say here is simply say hello to a complete stranger.  Try imaging how you’d feel if someone strange just said hey to you.  Would you take it offensively?  They probably won’t either.  Your probability of finding new friends is 0% if you don’t try and your probability greatly rises the more people you talk to.  It might seem hard and embarrassing, but the more people you start up the conversation with, the easier it’s going to get. It’s ultiately like dancing and learning a language, the more practice you have, the more confident you’ll be social situations.

Ultimately the best way to become more confident with yourself is just to practice those areas that you don’t feel confident in.  Like they say, practice makes perfect, and as I’d add, practice makes confident.
