It can be, but speaking from personal experience, the closer someone is to me the more likely I am to think that they're lying to make me feel better, logic be damned.

I do think what OP is doing is great, but reassurance isn't a magical fix for confidence problems.

I agree with you; I've had confidence problems of my own, and I've had a tendency to dismiss a person's praise as "bias" (this used to drive my husband mad).

But, beyond that, I'm glad to have had such people in my life. Even if they were "biased," well...at least they cared enough about me to be biased. And, when I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and make a change in how I perceived/interacted with the world, the knowledge that my loved ones had believed in me all along truly helped.

So, I will say that it is true that an external element cannot give a person confidence. However, when a person is beginning to truly build her/his confidence, the positive input that s/he's has gotten over time can be a tremendous boost.

"Even if they were "biased," well...at least they cared enough about me to be biased. "

That's... a very good point.
