Beyond the 4 basic human needs there are 2 higher human needs,

Self esteem come from these higher needs. Fulfill the the 2 higher human needs:
5: The need to grow. seek out information and education. Read books, expand your mind, open yourself to new and wonderous information. Always keep learning.

And finally the most important need for self esteem:
6. the need to contribute beyond yourself. To give of yourself without agenda or guile. To give for the sake of giving alone.

Be generous of spirit, and help others in need. You will be repaid many times over in karma, in love and in riches of many kinds. But do not seek reward. Rewards will come in their own time and in their own wonderous ways. So give purely for the sake of giving. Living a life full and rich in love and giving creates a wonderful life full of more love and giving.

The secret is to Give with love and to Recieve with Gratitude.

1.Think back to when you did something new for the first time.
Learning something new is often accompanied by feelings of nervousness, lack of self belief and high stress levels, all of which are necessary parts of the learning process. The next time you feel under-confident, remembering this will remind you that it's perfectly normal - you're just learning!
2. Do something you have been putting off.
3. Do something you are good at.
And while you're at it, seriously consider doing something like this at least once a week. People who experience 'flow' regularly seem to be happier and healthier.
4. Stop thinking about yourself!
Doing something that absorbs you and holds your attention can quickly make you feel better.
5. Get seriously relaxed.
If you are feeling low, anxious or lacking in confidence, the first thing to do is to stop thinking and relax properly. Some people do this by exercising, others by involving themselves in something
6. Remember all the things you have achieved.
This can be difficult at first, but after a while, you'll develop a handy mental list of self-esteem boosting memories. And if you're thinking "But I've never achieved anything",think about exams passed, driving test, family, or 'doing up' your house.

Once you have tried out a few of these, consider making them a permanent part of your life. For most people, good self esteem is not just a happy accident, it's a result of the way they think and the things they do from day to day.
Good Luck!

Believe it or not, these tips actually work like a charm..
Be open-minded and know that "Pretending" you're confident will turn into "Real" confidence with time.

*When ever you're about to face a bunch of people, put this idea in your head: "I know something that you don't know", this idea will draw a semi-smile on your face and boost your confidence, it will also give people the feeling that there's something special about you.

*Before you meet anyone, or even when you're just sitting, repeat this in your head with a smile: "I'm the most beautiful person I know, and I don't care if some people don't know that".
Use that before you go to a meeting or a party or even school, and when I say use, I mean use ALL THE TIME.

*Don't ever mention the things you hate about yourself in front of people.

*Start loving the great things about you, could be your hair could be your honesty could be even your shoes, pay more attention to them, make sure they always look the best they can.

*If anyone tries to put you down, just remember that you're the most beautiful as a person inside and out, and always keep that smile on your face.

*Work on your posture and the way you walk, those are really important.

* Take pictures of yourself from different angles, you'll definitely find an angle that makes you look better than others, take advantage of it.

Smile, drink alot of water, and use sunblock.

Best wishes.

I have to agree with philshizzle.....
get involved with a Bible study or small group at a non-denominational church. (if you go non-denominational or a "community church", you won't have to worry about a cult or bad doctrine).
Find someone you trust and tell them about your self esteem issues. I didn't have a healthy self-esteem until I finally realized that God has me here for a reason. He made me this way. There is a purpose as to why I have this body type, hair, face, etc.
I am amazed at my daughter's healthy self esteem, I really thought she would be like me. She has a big heart & realized that she doesn't need Abercrombie to make her popular. We look at people and instead of pointing out their bad qualities, we find the good. You can do that, too. Make it a habit to find at least one good quality about every person....and you'll start finding good qualities about yourself. You know the old verse about "you reap what you sow?"
If I ever start feeling ugly....I just remember that I have pretty hair & that everyone looks better when they smile. So I think of something funny that makes me smile. If I find an elderly person, and smile at them, it makes their day and they'll not only smile back, sometimes they make comments about what a pretty smile I have. try it! God Bless you and remember that there is only one like you!

First realize that you're a unique and important individual that benefits society with your ideals, and no matter what the circumstances are your inspirational input toward people is needed to increase the positive flow of caring and respecting all life, thus upon realizing that you did indeed help a person/s, and or animal/s... your self esteem automatically boosts itself:)

Look people in the eye when talking to them. If you are shy, work on your "poker face", when confronted. Meaning, dont show any emotion at all, leave them guessing.

I sometimes picture others (in my mind) sitting on the toilet, or doing something silly. I dont do that to ridicule them, just to make them seem more human.

Self esteem is inside you, and you'll find it someday. All it is is coming to the realization that you are just as good a person as anyone else. And I know you are.

Esteem is all about yourself and you association. One practical thing i noticed is that hang around with high esteem and avoid people who pull you down. Friends would be best if they know your weakness and they will help you with positivity in your esteem

There are multiple kinds of disorders that deal with anxiety. Although most can manifest in similar ways, these disorders generally occur due to different events in your life. Natural home remedies for anxiety https://tr.im/P4FS9

You obviously don't need any if you are calling yourself "Sexy Girlie"!

Thats a good thing because you must think you are sexy etc, therefore you must have a high self esteem! Good for you!!

it might sound silly but every nice thing you see about yourself or any compliment you recieve write it down on a post-it and stick it to your mirror. then when you look in the mirror you will remember all the good things people think.
