It's been a recent revelation that confidence is a byproduct of success and can be a reflection of how people treat you. The call to tell someone, "just be confident, bro" can have negative implications based on false promises because our brains have a record of previous attempts and rejections in both social situations and dating opportunities.
The way to build confidence is to have a legible track record of accomplishments in terms of academics, looks, social status, talent, etc. Trying to hack your brain into being more confident isn't going to build a solid ground that lasts in social situations.
