What's the main thing that builds your self-confidence and why?

Reaching the end of a project and realizing I've done a good job.

What lessons in humility have you learned over the course of your life?

Chances are good that as soon as you congratulate yourself for being all that and a bag of chips, you trip over your own ego and embarrass yourself (or worse). The follow-up is that in almost every case, that trip is survivable and eventually makes a damn good story.

How do you combat negative thoughts?

Sleep. Or music. Or a long walk. If it's been a really rough period all three (not at once, of course).
