I'm about your height and played volleyball in HS.  If I remember right (yes, it's been a few years ago...), my problems with spiking weren't with height or jumping, it was with getting the timing down.  Sometimes it helped if my Dad or sisters just fed the ball to me so I could time the jump right.  Work on that over and over and see if you improve.  It made a lot of difference in my game.

First, be honest with yourself about what you can do, and communicate that honesty to others.  Speak only when you have something to contribute.  Listen, really listen to what others are saying.  Volunteer, but actually carry through with what you have volunteered to do.  Never get mad.  Make sure you have an attainable goal.

A tried and tested technique to improving self-confidence is as follows:\n\nLook in the mirror every morning and tel yourself you are beutiful, you are clever and you can achieve anything.\n\nLook in the mirror every night before bed and tell yourself that you have done your best today in everything you do and tomorrow you will do better.\n\nDo one thing each day that scares you.\n\nBe with friends that value you for who you are and remember you are a human being and as such you are special.\n\nYour family loves and values you and if you smile the world smiles with you.

This can be tough, but has a simple solution that is difficult for some to acomplish.  First, you have to force yourself to look at yourself OBJECTIVELY.  No internal reflection at all.  Try to see you for what and who you are....not what you think.\n\nI like the answer regarding responsibility, but it only answered one facet of self esteem.  The next thing you need to do is understand self esteem and what it is.  Self esteem is how you feel about you.  The fact that you are asking this question tells me that you care about yourself enough to try to improve.  That is abmirable and worthy of esteem.\n\nNext, try to identify what may be damaging your self esteem.  Is it really flaws in you, or just people you are surrounded by inventing them?  My experience is it is usually the latter.  Try to spend more time with people that make you feel good and less with the ones that don't.\n\nRemeber, the fact that you care enough to develop and improve, makes you worthy of esteem and respect.\n\nBe Well and I wish you the best.

In what way? Read motivational books that talk about self improvement. If its physical....then treat yourself with complements to yourself. Have a positive and loving attitude. Be outgoing and enjoy each day....and associate around people that are successful as well as to those that you may respect. Its all about the mindset that you may have, and your attitude.

Do what you need to do to like yourself first.  If you're unhappy about your physical appearance, change it.  You can exercise and diet.  Take care of yourself in other ways too - hygeine, keeping your hair nice, make-up.  Get involved in activities you enjoy with other people.  Join groups (in the real world - not online), volunteer, go to church, go back to school if you're not in school anymore.  Get out and meet people who have similar interests.  You can try dating websites as well.  There are some that are particularly geared toward large people.  Good luck.

If you get some counselling things will work out easier for you. Otherwise you know your problem. So you can take some simple steps to boost your self esteem . \n\n1. Join a class to hone your social skills.\n\n2. Know what you are good at and get a hobby. Practice your\n    skills\n\n3. Update yourself on happenings around you. Read the papers\n    and watch the news.Keep abrest of happenings in music, \n    movies and fashion (common topics of conversation ) know\n     atleast whether the Sensex is up or down.\n\n3.  With other people till the time you master conversation skills\n     learn to be a good listener. Pay attention to what the next \n      person is saying and keep eye contact. A good listener is \n     much more popular than a good speaker.\n\n4. When you wake up every morning tell yourself that you are  \n   going to do atleast five things right during the day. At the end of \n   the day take your diary and note down what went right and \n   where you went wrong. Remember your weak points and keep\n   working on then for betterment\n\n\n5.  Good luck

Treat yourself to a day out, discover your talents and use them everyday to have fun and to the best of your abilities.\nRealize that you are who you are no matter what, and you serve a purpose on this earth, if you didn't you wouldn't have been placed on this earth in place of billions of others. God chose you and he loves you. No one else is like you and u are one of a kind, you've made it this far and will further!

Beleive in yourself. Make your own decision. Trust yourself. Love yourself. Be proud of yourself and decisions you have made (Specially the right decisions). Learn from your mistakes and improve your shortfalls. Listen to others and learn from their experiences. Know that you are as capable as others. Everyone makes mistakes, it is the one who learns from it that rises higher in life.
