A person may slouch, talk quietly, avoid people, etc....If you are aware of these traits you can change them though you still may lack the confidence. A person can stand tall, smile more, talk a little louder, and make himself go in public more~
Practiced behavior then becomes habit and these specific habits can lead to a true confidence~

You should never change your personality; it is who you are, but ENHANCE it!
As I said, "Faking it" is a bad choice of words, but they are the words we are using here.
I still stand by what I said because you can't truly fake a confidence that isn't already hidden within you somewhere!
You are practicing to bring out the best from within you with practiced behavior~
