You need self confidence for your whole life, from saying a speech to asking your parents for a phone (there’s a risk you’ll never regret if they agree). Here are fool-proof tips from shy to fly in no time.

Pretend you’re someone else, say an Oscar winning actress. Is she scared to sing karaoke and say award-winning speeches? Everyone can be scared of those things, even her. How does she do it? If she’s mentally confident, you should think you’re her, being brave and all. You know, remembering you’re the Oscar winning actress and only you can prove it. You’ll be amazed at how confident you are! Once that ‘Cautious Shell’ is broken, you don’t have to pretend anymore since you’ve been unleashed and there’s no stopping you. (Oh, and usually to break that shell doing something upstage with people helps it come off.)

Almost everyone takes deep breaths when you lack that confidence. I do. Send positive vibes to yourself. You’re show-casing a talent, and entertaining the audience.

There are a lot more tips, butt doing these two will help you figure it out and help other people that need a confidence boost.
