getting over being self conscious n low esteem?

Question

how do you deal with being self conscious and having a low self esteem?.........how do u become self assured and confident?

Answer 1

You MUST start liking yourself- everything about yourself. Don't doubt yourself, and if something happens to make you feel bad again, remember that you are progressing and that this is only a step. Start accepting and liking your appearance, your personality, find something you like and stick with it. Fill yourself up with something you enjoy. Do this everytime you have free time, every single time so you won't have a minute to think of something negative. Act as if you are really treating yourself to something good, even if it is a nap. Treat you like your own best friend. Start looking at the world altruistically, start looking at people in a humanistic way (look it up humanism psychology in wikipedia.org, or in other owrds, love humankind unconditionally, no matter how hard it may get). You will find that you forgive your faults, your mistakes (or whatever bothers you about your being) more and will be able to understand self esteem issues. It's a long road to travel, but you will find that it is worth it. Believe in yourself, you can do it. Good luck.

Answer 2

You go out and make a fool of yourself. The more you do it, the more you'll get used to it until you don't care what other people think.

Answer 3

it takes having little successes as well as believing in the little successes. Do you do something well, so what about the activity to you believe you do well, how did that happen and what do you think you would need to do to be successful at something else.
