But for a lot of people their confidence is based on the way they look. Yes, it's superficial and yes they probably have 100 more issues underneath but helping them build their confidence up is important.

As I said, self worth/belief in yourself is probably based on a lot of other things - ability to do their job/school, relationships, capabilities etc as well as looks. But this thread started off talking about body issues - the way to help someone get over their body issues is to give them confidence by boosting their confidence and telling them they look good.
