Answer 1

If you are looking for a free way to build self esteem, the only way I know is through exercise. It releases certain endorphens that give you a really good feeling, not to mention how much better you sleep and feel. It's a control thing. If you are in control of what your body is doing, it's a positive.

this is a very good question but i don't know anything about your location or its facilities.
but i would like to say to you that all people gain self-esteem/self-confidence.......by being (having no commotion of mind by fear creating thoughts upsetting body) ... by doing (initiating and persisting)(participating consciously with purpose to realize what is valueable to you and then...having it in your place and conscience.

for example...there must be something you enjoy doing (doing something you enjoy insights your mind to know what makes you feel good in your body.) what is enjoyable is self esteem building.

this is exactly why drugs/cigarettes/alcohol act as social-esteem building because youth use these (for those that do you use them) as common devices in relationship building...but without the realization (for too many) that it is the actual relationship which enables their self esteem to be builded.....socially.

so the actual myriad relationship confusions/problems occur by the non-realizations of just that. if a youth or any construe (think/feel) that this or that substance or visual image or activity is the cause of their confidence...they are misleading themselves by it. listen...many people have made and will continue to make choices to find what it is they value about their selves.....but persons without early awareness to personal management will kick many a stone on the path to self awareness...self esteem.

but without fail.....all people (yes....even you which thinks and feels the world is against them or that you are against the world) have personal gifts to offer for other.

but if you don't know what you have to offer an other.....it is because you have not enjoyed(or did come to not enjoy) what you have offered previously or what was possible for offering (as matter or thought and deed).

if you have had very few relationships in your young life to realize what these are ... then the question you ask is a very good one to ask since it shows you have your own conscience for a purpose.

let me also say....

the fact that you ask an honest question is self esteem building because it shows you have ability to share (communicate) and interest with purpose.

bravo. be well

Answer 3

Find something you like to do, anything, like a hobby. Do that something as well as you can. Really get into it. Make it part of your daily routine to practice your hobby.

Just look at the people who are really good at something, anything. They have proven to themselves that they can succeed. They are an inspiration, even to people with different goals. You can succeed too.

to build self-esteem, you must become worthy of esteem.
