Here is my response:
 
If you were to list out the thoughts that run through your mind through out the day, you would probably find that most of them are anxious thoughts are "what if " thoughts. ie,, what would happen if so n so happens..
 
Man is the sum total of his thoughts. If you have more thoughts of anxiety.. then you would be a nervous person full of anxiety. On the other hand, if your thoughts are focused on "I can" .. your mind will become full of possibilities, and you would be brimming with confidence.

Mind power doesn't judge whther our thoughts are positive or negative.
It just does, what we think about the most.

I think you have spent quite a few years , thinking negatively, to reach this stage, so becoming confident is going to take you some time, but will happen. Just have the faith.

Now what you need to do is, write down all the good qualities you would like yourself to have.
It could be anything like happy, humorous, friendly, confident, loving..etc

Now when you go to sleep every night and wake up in the morning..say to yourself several times, "i am becoming..happy, humorous....day by day"
Whenever you are with friends..or about to give a presentation, say the affirmation repeatedly.
Don't get stressed, if it doesn't work the first few times.

Being postive is hard work :)

People around will amazed to see a beautiful butterfly emerging out of a cocoon, and you will  be surprised by the power of affirmations

Stay Blessed,
