I think at the end of the day,you must have inner strength,not just self-esteem.People with low self-esteem or inferiority complex need to learn to take care of themselves,eg. healthwise,jobwise etc.Life is a continuous learning process,so don't be afraid to keep learning more,bearing in mind nobody's perfect.

I would suggest being as nice as you possibly can to people. I know it sounds weird to be helping someone else when you need the help, but it will come back to you. I used to suffer from low self-esteem, and i used to be somewhat of an arrogant, pompous, ***. Then i changed schools, and I was very nice, outgoing, friendly. i had more friends than ever before within a matter of months because i was just a very nice guy. I was well liked, and that really improved my self-esteem. I also got a new hairstyle, lost some weight, and grew a few inches in the same general time period. I really felt a lot better about myself and still do.

These tips will make you very brave. Make full use of your good points and qualities ; you most likely have power , gifts, qualities etc that you do not know that you have . Others may become envious of you for them . When you see that happenning you will know the power you have ; I bet you will no longer have a low self esteem then ; Remember no-one can take it from you ; so work these fine qualities in a a positive direction ; focus , accentuate the positive , do away with the negative.

The first thing I would do is quit telling yourself that you have low self esteem. One day, there was something that happened to you that made you feel like you had no esteem. Since you felt that way, you made up a story to back it up.
What you need to do now, is tell yourself that you are beautiful. Since you are beautiful there is nothing that you can't do. Start some new healthy habits like working out & doing cardio. Constantly tell yourself that you NOT that girl with low self esteem. Live in the moment & choose to live an extraordinary life. Quit living in the past in that moment you made up a story about yourself.....

do some excersize at home to start then in the gym. feeling that your fit boosts confidence. find yourself a goal ( something you want to achieve) then look for ways you can at least attempt to achieve it, but dont make it an impossable task, make it something that you wouldnt normally think of doing, some have tried things such as rock climbing or learning a new skill.
sit down with a piece of paper and think of as many good qualities you have shown you have since the first memories you have as a child, remind yourself every day that those qualities are still there and make up who you are, those qualities make you someone worth while knowing. as your confidence in your abilities grows so will your self esteem.
I say this in the hope that at least some of the advice helps you. but i would also advise that you speak to your doctor about how your feeling as low self esteem can go hand in hand with depression, remember that your doctor isnt just there to diagnose desease or infecton, they are there to look after our wellbeing also, so your doctor will not think you are wasting their time its what they are paid for. they may be able to give further advice on things you can do to raise your confidence and selfesteem as you will not be the first patient they have seen with these feelings.

if it is over running your life, and your confidence in what you choose to do etc..i would strongly suggest seeing a councillor, talking to someone who can help over come this. Often there is a real reason why someone has a very low self esteem, stemming from their background or something. Saying one thing will not help the person over come it and realize what a unique wonderful person they are, but..working with a professional on a regular basis will certainly help come to discover the reasons why, and how to deal with them....
I would talk to the person, give him/her a hug, and help him/her find someone in the field to talk to.

Do alot of soul searching and aske yourself why do you feel this way and who made you feel this way? You are beautifully and wonderfully made! Girl/ BOY! Read self help books about seft esteem and speak positive words to yourself. ( in Barnes Noble , internet etc Meditate on good things. There had to be something in your life that really hurt or damaged you to feel this way. Search your talents and Love yourself! Find people or circle yourself with TRUE friends that will encourage and lift you up. If you have a relationship with God read your bible and see what it said about creation and how it was made! Learn how to love yourself and your life and your self image will be better

hey we all have low esteem at some point in our lives no matter who you are, it will pass and I promise it will get better, even the biggest stars have it , we are all human and it is normal, no matter what you have done or feel there is always some one worse off than yourself, that is when you can give advice back and trust me you might not feel like that now but it will happen. I know, cos I been there loads xxxxxxxxxxxx

first of all I would stop comparing myself to the airbrushed 'lovelies' in the magazines.Second i would really look at myself and find out what I am good at-take stock of your true abilities and talents.Try to develop the gifts that you have.Everyone has something to offer.Replace the negative voices in your head with positive ones.Keep a diary and write down every day for a month something positive about yourself.Not in a big-headed way but in a way that you would offer a compliment or a helpful comment to a friend.Try to change what isn't working for you and enhance what is.Be kind to yourself-you're going to be together your whole life.Focus on others and their needs and problems-makes yours seem not so overwhelming.Good luck and be happy.

you don't have to change or look like anyone to be happy and popular;
we are all different in so many ways and that's what makes the human specie so interesting; so it takes all sorts
do not listen to people who put you down all the time, positive criticisme is nice and act on it if appropriate,
insults and stuff, stear clear of the people who do it, and be good friends who like you for what you are.
wake up and go life is full of nice things to be had; why suffer and live unhappily ...etc
think i'm making sense
good luck
