It's really difficult for me to write dialogues but, still I am giving myself a chance.

I have tried to a write dialogue between two friends one of whom lacks confidence.

Tom: Hey, how are you Elly.

Elly: Hi, I'm just fine!

Tom: Just fine? Why? What happened?

Elly: I'm nervous!

Tom: Oh, why you are nervous? Dear you can share your problem with me. Tell me what is bothering you? I will surely try to fix your problem!

Elly: You are my good friend and, I'm sure you probably take me out from the problem.

Tom: Sure, I would love to help you dear.

Elly: I have been selected for a speech competition. And I'm feeling nervous.

Tom: Woa! Congrats dear. I know why you are nervous. You lack confidence in public. Am I right?

Elly: Excatly! This is the whole problem. I am feeling nervous and afraid of peoples' reaction on my speech in the auditorium.

Tom: Hm, so this is it? Come'on dear I am sure you can do it very well.

Elly: I really wish, I could do it without nervousness. Could you suggest me something to overcome my nervousness and lack of confidence?

Tom: Sure, why not? But, first of all take a deep breath and relax. Panicking or feeling nervousness can't help you in building up your confidence. Take a chill pill honey!

Elly: You always cheer me up. I know, if you encourage me, I would probably feel relax and  will give a great speech in front of people.

Tom: Believe in yourself, this is the key point. Hmm, now let me suggest you something to overcome this problem. When you are standing next to a dais, in front of people in the auditorium, be careful with your gestures. Don't try to make eye contact with people, sitting in the auditorium. Try to focus on your speech rather than the crowd. It will surely help you not to lose your self-confidence.

Elly: Tom I really hope it will work.

Tom: It will, dear, it will work. Just remember what I said and you will  succeed. I am sure.

Elly: Thanks so much for such friendly suggestions Tom. I 'm sure you will help me to solve the problem. I shall go now, and rehearse the speech. Thanks once again dear.

Tom: Wish you luck dear. See you in the auditorium!

(I'm sure I have made so many grammatical and punctuation errors...! eh looking forward to corrections :D )
