Well, this is about her overcoming her self-consciousness, which is basically her shyness. Lack of confidence and shyness are actually not the same thing. You can be both shy and assertive. Putting your Hoof Down is going to be about teaching Fluttershy to be more assertive on a regular basis, where as in Dragonshy she only did when pushed to the limit. Lack of confidence is when you don't have the strength to make your own choices and stand up for you or someone else, where as shyness means that you aren't social. From the looks of it, this episode is going to force Fluttershy to overcome her shyness towards ponies besides her friends to help the other pegasi. That's just my guess, though.
