Question

PLease Help Me!! Right now I have a very low... Wait... I have No self esteem at all!!! I NEED SOME GOOD ANSWERS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Hi, I am sorry to hear of your situation. To me the best antidote to low self esteem is success. Once you get some successes under your belt, you will feel better about yourself.
One way to do that would be to get yourself fit and strong with a good exercise program and healthy eating. Keep track of what you do in a journal and at the end of a couple of weeks, pat yourself on the back for a job well done. You will get a lot of control over your body increasing its flexibility, strength, stamina and responses. When your body is getting stronger, your self image will follow.
Another idea is for you to simply ACT like you have healthy self esteem. Sometimes the real thing will follow!
It might also be very beneficial to you to get involved in some classes on something that interests you or in self-defense. I have heard that martial arts can help build a person's confidence.
I want to tell you that you are a valuable person and there is no good reason for you to be low in self esteem, but I know that these are just words and may not be what you need. So, start right now planning to take charge of your life and do some things you know you can be successful at and then build on that.
Good luck to you dear. I wish you the very best.

Answer 2

I used to have very low self esteem. I grew up being told by my father that I was fat, ugly, stupid and that no one would ever love me. Then one day I went to college and when I passed the classes with A's and B's I realized I wasn't stupid; that got me to thinking if my father was wrong about that maybe he was wrong about the rest as well. What I'm trying to say is sit down and think about some things you like about yourself. Even if they are small things and build from there. Get up every morning and look in the mirror and tell yourself "I am a wonderful person." You are a warm and caring person; don't let other peoples negative comments get to you; most of the time their self esteem probably isn't very good either; don't let them bring you down to their level.
Just remember you are a worthwhile person.
Hang in their; I'm pulling for you.

Answer 3

Analyse and outline your life, and get to know yourself, just like you would a friend, or someone you are interviewing. Lots of great things have happened in your life---attribute the good luck and fortune to yourself, but realize that you learned from the bad events, too. List all your favorite things--colors, foods, movies, animals, etc. Recognize how great these things are, and that you and only you can fit life together to suit yourself, because YOU are great. When you feel your attention drifting over to someone else (what they think, how to change them, how to solve THEIR problems, etc.) pull your attention right back to yourself. Realize that you're great, but that you need a lot of attention and care, and that you only have time and energy to nurture yourself. You are also the only person who can or should control what you do, and you need all your time energy and creativeness for this job. Imagine yourself a certain way, and then build upon this by positive action.

i had little self-esteem in high school, but now im in college and recently took an acting class. i was terrified to be in front of so many ppl .but it was actually really great. for one, you get to perform as someone else other than yourself. sometimes getting a few traits from other characters can help build up your self esteem. another reason is that you get to meet a lot of cool ppl who you can really connect with. its fun and it will help you feel good about yourself and make care less of what other ppl think of you

good luck!

Answer 5

Well, I'm not going deep into answering right now. Sorry. But I can tell you this. It's understandable that you feel like this in the world around you. But you are not alone, although your feelings are unique. And illusion of who you are can end with reality - and this is WHAT YOU DO. DO what you want to BE.

Oh, and stay away from barbie's ex :)

Learn to love other before yourself. You will get what you give and if you are always looking to find what pleases you, you will find that we can not find happiness in our selves alone. You are a person, who has amazing gifts and qualities. Use them for the good of others and enjoy give yourself.
