I need to build my confidence back up

i’ve literally got hardly any confidence around or in front of people. I lost my mum when i was in my early teens and since then i haven’t got back my confidence fully.

It was hard because at the time of her death i shut myself out from friends and people in general, i then went back to school, but it was really difficult and since school i have found it hard to make friends because i lost all my close friends because i isolated myself from them and they got fed up, and forgot about me. ever since school and mum’s death i haven’t got my confidence back fully. I put on weight through school and become overweight which added to my lack of self confidence.

I then started college (UK) and ended up leaving with again with no friends apart from one friend. I started working, but continued to isolate myself. I’m now unemployed and want to go to University, but I’m going to end up the same way because my confidence is so low. I can’t even summon up the courage to talk to girls because I am so low of self esteem and confidence, and even though I have lost a lot of weight and now I’m about average weight i still feel self concious and low on confidence.

I really don’t know what to do it’s really frustrating me now! please help
