How to be more confident myself?

If you're male, lift weights. Being physically capable and knowing it does wonders for confidence. Additionally, lifting heavy increases testosterone production, which is necessary for male physical and mental health.

If you're female, working out is also a good idea. I know that it's stereotyped as a male thing a lot of the time, but shockingly, it turns out that humans in general will feel happier if they are healthy and seen by other humans as attractive. And the confidence boost of seeing your body very slowly morph into one you're proud of - whether you're a guy or girl - well, it hits hard.

though, yeah, weights specifically is often more a guy thing.
 
Thinking for yourself is a harder one. There's a sensation you need to listen for, the emotion of confusion, which is your signal that you are trying to believe two mutually exclusive things simultaneously. Finding out which two things they are and which one is (or commonly, if both are) false is a subject of mindfulness and meditation on how you think you know the things you know, and what you might do to prove them one way or the other. When you see something that doesn't feel like it makes sense, ask yourself what you expected to happen instead, and why you expected that. Don't believe everything you hear yourself think, make your thoughts justify themselves and tell you at what points they would be wrong if you saw something other than what they said. Critical thinking is a crucial skill to develop.

I'd advise against that. Mostly, they don't know what they're talking about and just tend to mislead you and throw a ton of shit in your face and then blame you when you can;'t make sense of it. Most are scams intended to take advantage of desperate guys who want to be alpha so badly but don't even know what it is.

An alpha camp won't turn you into an actual alpha. It will just make you an ass who think he's entitled to the world. You will end up poorer and probably far more unhappy.
