Sweetie, you don't need a website to raise your self esteem. You can raise it on your own. Go find a passion. Find something you can do for hours and it will only feel like minutes. Develop and perfect that passion. Doing something you're good at and that you love doing well helps self esteem.
Be worldly. Be curious. Learn. Help people. That helps your self esteem.
Not a website.

Self esteem is self created. One does not need websites or books to do that. To raise ur self esteem u will have to first start loving urself. Thats the most important thing!

Well some times we need a little help with our selves! If said "self" has been abused, neglected or hurt deeply, it can take some external input or perspectives to simply inspire our self to help itself...Ok then. I discovered a random book in a used bookstore, really cheesy title, but amazing insights and from all kinds of teachings-buddist, christian, sufi -but not preachy, more philosophical. It's called Legacy of the Heart (I know lame title.)
Find something creative or productive you love doing, regardless of anyone elses opinion of it, and do it. Journalling can help, or even copying inspirational quotes down until you believe them. Drop any pretentions that don't feel like they're you, and try to be yourself, then love just that...the rest should follow!

that is amazingly wide-spread for those with low self esteem responsible themselves for each little thing that is going incorrect, also apologise a lot even even as they don't verify out fault. What you may want to do is settle for as a lot credit for the things you get accurate and do nicely. that is a case of accentuating the effective. you'll then commence to maintain in mind that once people call you stupid or the like, they're surely deflecting the blame or interest from themselves. commence to praise your self, quietly, for the things you get accurate and do nicely, as in many situations as you beat your self up for the things you shrink to rubble. you'll quickly stumble on a extra proper stability. typically those who attempt to make others seem undesirable do to have the capacity to make themselves experience extra proper. attempt being as style to your self as you probably are to oldsters. have a good time your skills, you write nicely for a commence. And waste skill on those who do not have your acceptable pastimes at heart. existence isn't a popularity contest, it is about doing the acceptable you could. i imagine you've a larger recommendations and a extra beneficiant spirit than some on your existence. that is truly worth a pat on the again.

I once read a wonderful book called "Feel the Fear and Do It Any Way"... by Susan Jeffers. It is uplifting, soul searching and chalk full of euphamisims and affirmations that will lift your spirits and certainly raise your self esteem... check it out. I can't guarantee that it's for everyone but it did wonders for me and I hope it will do the same for you. I hope this helps.

Fake it until you make it. Start using "I am..." affirmations daily.
"I am worthy of good things"
"I am a wonderful human"
"I am loved"
Count your blessings daily too. Look around the world and think of those in so much worse conditions.
"I am a beautiful person"
You get tomorrow what you think today. It's due to creative visualization all our minds do. Fake what you are today to bring events to your life that will help you with your self-esteem problem.

I totally understand how you feel, and it is not easy...
By own experience I suggest you should try some workout , go back to school, start a diet, or learn to do something with your hands like craft. These things will really help you to feel and look better, also will keep you busy. A therapy is recommended too... it help a lot.
Good Luck!!! and don't forget smile!!!

How about putting the "self" back into self-esteem. It's your job, not anybody else's. Nobody can do that but you, hence the "self".

My therapist told me to use this technique:
Look in the mirror and say to yourself "I am beautiful. I am smart. I am good. I am worth it."and so on. Compliment yourself, even if you don't believe it, because eventually you will begin to. Fake it 'til you make it!

Tell yourself. I am unique theres no one like me. I don't have to compare myself to others. Cause a i have my own positive and negative attributes. I will maximize my potential and harness my own unique talent. I have to be myself and don't have to be like anybody.
No one is greater or lower than me. I am unique.
