What is the best was to boost confidence and self-esteem because I have none around others. I know I'm pretty but when I see someone prettier, I feel like they're judging me. Please help me.
For starters, you should be around positive people.

Yes yes, positive people are always good. But its really something you need to do for yourself. You need to acknowledge that you arent as bad as you think. Its a gradual process. You could consider going to a councellor or shrink, or just meditate on it. That last one always works for me.
Maybe you should talk to your friends and see if any of them feel the same. I was in the same position, me and my mates now have a routine of complimenting each other on everything good whenever we meet up or just on myspace pics.
Considering we were all once quiet and shy even around people we knew we find it easy to talk to complete strangers. You should try it. If you don't want to talk to them directly then just start to compliment them occasionally and they'll start to return eventually and give you a positive idea about yourself. Hope it works. Good luck
