Self-confidence is not a quality for the inner journey, it is a barrier. In the outer world self-confidence is a help, is a must. http://goo.gl/Vh3SX Without it you cannot go anywhere in the outside world.
But when you move to the inner, all the qualities that are helpful in the outer journey become obstacles.
Self is not needed, self-confidence is not needed. One should completely lose the self, only then is there a possibility of enlightenment.
