Ok, I've been dating this girl for over a month now and there's something that's been bothering me a lot; my girlfriend has zero self confidence - she said to me. I really can't believe how she feels this way, she's absolutely great, beautiful, good personality, and so many skills, etc. But I guess she doesn't see it. :( I've given her many compliments and almost every time she says 'yeah right' and basically says she doesn't agree with me. It seems like she just doesn't listen or believe me and it makes me sad. She's said she wonders why a guy like me would ever be interested in a girl like her.
There has been a couple of times where I've told her that other people think the same way and that they've told me, like how good she is at something, and that seems like the only time she's really believed me.
I don't really know what to do about it, I mean, I like to compliment her and tell her how I really feel about her, but sometimes it just makes me feel sad because of how she takes it. What can I do to make this work better and make her feel better about herself? Or what do I say when she completely disagrees with me? Thanks in advance.

You can't make her feel anything differently about herself. She has to figure that out on her own time.
