I don't buy it. Being showered with compliments doesn't actually build confidence—it just fills the void where actual confidence should be.
Real, genuine self-esteem comes from within. My theory is that your parents essentially build that foundation while you're still a kid.
If they dropped the ball back then, you have to fix it once you're an adult—either through actual self-work, or by chasing compliments, or maybe a bit of both.
By the way, bluebadger112, you’re being a bit of an idiot here.
