One of the main reasons I was low in confidence and self esteem in my twenties and early thirties was that I was inthe entirely wrong career for my personality type.
I worked as a Marketing Manager and found it really stressful which lead to me drinking more than I should at weekends, which created more stress with my performance at work dipping and a vicious circle ensued.
Up until that point I hadn't really though about personality types but there are some interesting theories about it with this site a really good starting point

This is based on work by Jung and Myers Briggs which divides the population into 16 separate categories and is spookily accurate. It concludes that I should work as a teacher or mentor which I now do and totally love.
Perhaps some confidence issues we have are as a result of us being square pegs in round holes as was the case with myself.
I would recommend looking into this further even if is results, as it did in my case, with a complete change in direction.
Cheers
