One small thing might help you maintain your positive mood and energy: being polite. You are treating yourself with respect just by being polite and treating others with respect. Spread the positive energy to everyone. Say "Hello," "Thank you," and "Bye," and see how that affects not just other people but also yourself. Respect is returned to you when you demonstrate it.
First, treat your parents with respect at home. "Good morning," "How are you?" and "Have a good day" are truly remarkable. Continue interacting with your neighbors, family, friends, coworkers, etc. You'll be surprised at how much more respect you receive, even from random strangers you meet on the street. The first step toward developing self-confidence is being polite to others.
