first off quit trying so hard and worrying about it.
I spent my whole 24 years of marriage worried about the kids and my husband and forgot to live for myself. I lost my entire self worth. I went back to college and got a job and found out I'm not such a bad person after all. I treat others better than myself and I enjoy the little things life offers. A rose, a pretty ocean sunset. A friend buying me a burger at lunch.
I lost everything in the divorce. I started all over so I guess If I can pass on any wisdom know that everything can be gone in the blink of an eye and all you have left is you. Do you like you? Go back to college you will build tremendous self esteem and realize there is a great big world out there.

Hello january 06, ...(by the way that's a cool ID)
You are very smart to be even thinking about such an intellectual question!
You've already grasped so much knowledge that you must already posses some level of self-worth even as you are writing this question. Maybe the question that your really asking is, how do you build on what you already have? It's a frightening question for all people to face. There isn't a single person, not even the bravest of heroes, who hasn't had their great moments of trial and self-doubt.
It's going to come down to the choice of optimism or pessimism, (you've got to go with the latter as it produces the better results, almost without exception.)
Anyway, if it's any help to you. I think you're neat and intelligent. And I've only begun to know you by your questions. How about that for impressive?! And... I'm on your side too.
You go Girl!
by the way...will u pleez pick my answer as the best. U R sweet if u do! thin-Q vry mch!

The meaning of Self, has its own worth. Self is seperate from family, community and society. To begin the process, is to learn how to be an observer. Observe those around you, then observe your own reactions to what you see. If you feel uncomfortable with what others say/ do. . .then you begin to learn. . .you.
The next step is to be true to you. That may come in the form of not doing what another wants you to do because it makes you feel uncomfortable or because you just dont want to. By not doing it, you are showing yourself that you can be true to you. The amount of times that you are true to yourself will be your gauge to how much you mean to you. How much you care about you.
Many succumb to the pressure of their friends and do things that they dont really want to because they are afraid of not being liked.
Worth is based upon a comparison and the need for acceptance from others. When you find Self, you do not need anothers acceptance. You will portray a confidence, that many will feel threatened by, even though you are not threatening. Many may stay away from you because you are able to speak your truth that will not waiver. (In the beginning, you may waiver, and when that happens, let it be alright. Just keep trying).

Unfortunately some people feel they are worth nothing. They may have always gotten negative feedback as a child and always criticized. If you do good deeds for people, are kind, considerate of others then you gain your self worth a little at a time. Don't judge yourself in a negative way as so many people are willing to do that for you. Kindness starts with being able to be kind to yourself. Loving others starts with being able to love yourself. If you do the positive things mentioned you will be more confident about your self worth. When you do the things you know you shouldn't then you feel like you are worth nothing so be good and do good. May the Lord bless you with the righteous desires of your heart.

"I would not purport to tell anyone 'who' a person is. The 'who' of the person is unique, holistic, intangible, and difficult to get hold of. It might be viewed as what is uniquely "Giggly Giraffe" about "Giggly Giraffe", that is, the way I connect with other human beings, the feelings I exude and elicit, the virtures I believe, the decisions I have made, all wrapped up into one ineffable presence connunicated in a face, a glance, or even a glimpse. I intend here to get at the nature (or what) of "person" in its breadth and depth so that personhood may, in all ways, be protected from every form of personal and cultural prejudice. I do not mean to reduce persons to "whats", for I am aware of both my unique "who" and the "who" of others. But intriguing and life giving as this awareness is, it is quite beyond the scope of this analysis, which has as its aim the elucidation of a central concept that can be used to heighten happiness, freedom, the common good, and rights." <1>

Unfortunately I kind of know this answer. It comes at an early age. From our family particularly parents who are our real influence. It often leads to many wonderfully confident happy people or if your not so lucky, a journey of wondering who you are.
It can also be influenced by our experiences, people we meet and relationships.
Often the people who struggle the most with life, drugs, crime have no self worth and are then believed to be worthless by the majority of society.

It's all about how you treat others, stress is also a good gage, if you have a lot, it's usually caused by things you shouldn't have been doing.
If not, you're living right and probably the real deal.

Self esteem is created with accomplishments. Set a goal and go for it. Break it down into steps so you can see progress.
