giving others self confidence

Tweet

i have a friend who is absolutely beautiful, she even models. she is seemingly very smart because she is in college, has a job, her own place, and everything. but she seems to be a bum magnet. her current boyfriend has just been released from jail on a drug charge, heck he wears an ankle bracelet (talk about high fashion. he doesn't do anything for her but take up space in her apartment. he only works part time, so she says. he takes her car, because he doesn''t have one and drives all the gas out and doesn't even offer to put anything back in it. she says she is happy but it makes me wonder whats her definition of happiness if thats what she'll settle for. She confided in me a long time ago that she doesn't feel all that pretty so I know she had low self confidence but now im thinking she has no self confidence. how do you convince somebody of their own worth? is it even possible?
