I agree with #1 just fake the confidence until it becomes real, you’ll slowly feel the shift and realize you’re not faking it anymore. Also if you dress and act how YOU want to rather than how you think people want you to, then it’ll make you more confident in yourself as well. Just be the most authentic you that you can be!
if theres anything youve been wanting to do but havent bc youve been unreasonably scared, do it. for me this was getting a buzzcut, i thought it would look terrible on me but it doesnt, i look/feel more like myself than i ever have & ironically feel more normal in public spaces 😭 learning to not gaf what other ppl think of u when it comes to your appearance and just doing what YOU want for your own comfort and happiness is half the battle imo
