You know, I can kinda relate.

Growing up I was very nerdy (still nerdy but on the inside instead of the outside) and I got made fun of all the time. Boys would pretend to be my boyfriend as cruel jokes and stuff.
So now, I'm much more attractive than I once was but I still have trouble with compliments. I mean, I think I'm pretty but it's just hard for me to believe others do as well.
Hell, I'm a performer but I have such messed up confidence issues.

I was also a very bold and balls to the wall type of girl until I met my first scumbag at 17. I was with him for 4 years and friends told me I went from being very dominate to a submissive puppy around him. It was pathetic.
I'm still trying to undo the damage he did which also circles back to my confidence issues.. it's fun, lemme tell ya.

Unfortunately, some lessons in life just have to be learned through experience.
I had to learn the hard way so maybe your friend does too. Only thing you can really do is be there for her and try to help her see the truth.
