Working with a psychiatrist or therapist would help you do that.
Staying confident with any disability is often not an easy task. Yet when achieved by focusing on all the many positive qualities and characteristics that each individual has and minimizing the attention on the negative ones, you will feel triumphant and your Tourettes will become invisible. Redirect your energy and focus to the positive and say to yourself: I've had enough of your petulant disruptions and will part with you. Being confident about yourself is one of the essentials of overcoming Tourettes.  

It is not an easy task to stay confident with Tourette's. Depending on the severity, medication may be helpful and/or behavioral training and practice.
