you guys still aren't telling me what specifically to do. Why can't you? WHAT IS THIS TRUE CONFIDENCE
call her and be like "you've been a b1tch too me lately and so I'm gona fvck you this weekend" ?
No, no, no, no no.
True Confidence takes time to build within yourself. True confidence does not employ tactics like "oh she did THIS to me, so now I'm going to do THAT to her".
True confidence says this "I know what I want, and I know what I like. If a woman does not fit my pattern of WANT or does something I DON'T like, then I'm going to call her on it. If she continues to do things I don't like, I'm going to rid myself of her in as polite a way as possible."
It's about having a backbone. It's about seeing the things you want and going after those things, and not beating around the bush or sitting around second guessing it. You see it, you want it, you go for it. If you get rejected, you brush yourself off, get back up, and move on.
That, my friend, takes a LONG time to get to a place like that. So I suggest you start right now. IMMEDIATELY.
How? You ask.
Well, you take baby steps,
1. DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT. This is the first and foremost (and the easiest, I might add) thing you have to do. If you don't know what you want out of LIFE (not just women, but LIFE) how can you EVER be happy? Decide now. Get out a sheet of paper and start listing the things you want out of life. For example, what do you want to do for a living? Where do you want to live? What type of girl do you want in your life? ANYTHING and everything you can think of, put on that list.
2. PRIORITIZE HOW YOU ARE GOING TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. Take the same list, look it over, and start putting it in order of when you want to accomplish it. I would suggest you work out your career, finances, inner happiness, BEFORE you work out what type of girl you want. You want to create your own personal world and BRING a woman into that world.
3. TAKE ACTION! Now that you have a list, attack each thing you have on that last one by one. Take the first thing on your list, and make a new sheet. List the things you have to do in order to accomplish that list. Once you get those things down, prioritize THAT list, and then set a deadline and a goal by which you are going to do those things. Do this with everything on your list, and keep an ultimate deadline in mind. My suggestion is a five year plan to accomplish everything on your list.

That being said, this doesn't mean that you can't have some fun and hang out with girls and stuff while you are pursuing your goals. It just means that you should not let yourself get SERIOUS about a girl until you've accomplished most of your list.
Make sure you leave room for recreational types of things. Get involved in ACTIVE recreational things like swimming, biking, hiking, skiing, sports, weightlifting, etc. Whatever you think you would LIKE to do most. Set goals within those active recreational things and work towards accomplishing those.
In short, it's about making a big list, and then breaking down that list into smaller and smaller parts until you get a step by step plan of acheivable parts that lead you to the bigger thing above them, which will then lead to your ultimate goal.

Other ways to affect confidence involves ridding yourself of two hindering elements: FEAR AND SHAME. There are several ways to do this, but I want to point you to a book you can read about shame: "Healing the Shame that Binds you" by John Bradshaw.
Face these things, embrace them, and get them out of you. Watch how you carry yourself. Get in a habit of walking upright, head up, and looking people in the eye. Start talking to EVERYBODY you meet, and not just women. Approach EVERYONE, and you will just become a naturally social person, and not someone who is out to pick up chicks all the time.
Pick up motivational tapes, books, whatever it takes. You need words of encouragement to keep you on track, because you are GOING TO FAIL. Failure is inevitable. It's what you DO with that failure that determines if you are going to be a success. If you get knocked down, get back up and keep moving forward!
