How do I raise My Self-esteem?

Question

IN school no body wonts to talk 2 me b partners with me nothing i only have 1 true friend i feel that im the most unpopular person in school wut do i do?

Answer 1

The first thing that popped into my head about raising your self esteem was that you could get involved in afterschool activities at school. If you did this, you are forced to communicate and interact with other peers who might be on your team or in your club. I also believe that your faith in God has something to do with self esteem, someone, and loves you very much. I was in your shoes once, then I went to church, met friends there, and the rest is history. Don't look at yourself based upon others. Look at yourself based upon you. Is there something the others in your class or school don't know how to do but you do? Maybe you can share with them a craft or something you think they might be interested in learning about.

Answer 2

Take up some hobbies so you can feel better about yourself and fill in your spare time. Volunteer somewhere and it will help you make friends. Take up dancing to make you feel feminine. The way you dress is probably sending out a message and your stance may be making you unapproachable. Read the book on body language. It will take a while to change yourself and for people to begin to warm up to you. Also say hello first and then starting talking. If they talk with you then you are probably okay. If not then you have to work on something. Do good in school. People stay away from losers. Good luck. I wish you the best.

Answer 3

You should be glad that you have one true friend, because that friend will stand beside you when other people ignore you.
But, if you want to talk to more people in school, just try to be civil and be yourself. And it's perfectly fine to do nice things for yourself, like buy a new pair of shoes or something pretty to wear, as long as you're doing it because it makes you happy, and not because it's the latest trend. I think a nice pick-me-up is getting dressed up and going out. Maybe you could go out to the movies with your friend and have a really good time together so the other people felt jealous. They say the best revenge is living well.

Answer 4

First change you nick-name, 'dog freak' is not a nice name to call yourself. If you learn to like yourself then you will be liked. Start caring for yourself then expect others to do so. You don't need to be #1 for others but for yourself, sometimes we pay too much attention to what other people think and what should really matter is what we think about ourselfs, because that is what will make the difference to what choices we will make and the path we'll take in the future. You only need to be popular around the right people not the whole school, remember sometimes is better alone that with the wrong company! :0)

Answer 5

First you need to realize that school is not the end of your life. Most people don't keep in touch with half of the people they knew in school. Plus with the Internet you have so many options to meet so many people with similar interests within your surrounding area.
Second, you need to realize that all low self-esteem means, is that you care too much about what others think. Which can lead to anxiety disorders, which can lead to depression and so on. So relax, learn to appreciate who you are and what you have to offer. Once you are happy with yourself, you can begin expanding your social network. And to break the news to you, I promise you that 90% of the people at your school are just as worried about what others think of them as you are, if not more. Most people who realize this fact tend to take it a little easier on themselves. I hope you can learn to do the same.
To leave you with one last piece of advice, get everything you can from school, education, experiences and the understanding that the best friends are the ones who stuck with you when no one else would. Last, it's hard to be happy with anything in your life if you can't appreciate yourself.

Answer 6

Well, there must be reasons, so you need to look at those reasons and change them. Are you super quiet and shy? If so, try to break out more and take more chances. Do you give off the impression that you don't want to be social? Do you give off the vibe that you're better than everyone, or that you're perfectly content being alone? Look deep inside and you'll find the answer. Ask yourself what the social people are doing that makes them more popular/social...

Answer 7

Theres nothing wrong with you. People are just like that sometimes. People dont really grow up until college...and even then there are still some very immature people who are going to make you feel bad. Keep the friend you have. In time others will come.

Answer 8

Girl don't feel bad. There are others who feel that way. I am one of them. At least you have one true friend. My true friend asked me to prom then turned around and asked someone else. So never feel bad about yourself, if someone does not like you then that is their choice. Don't get offended just because you are not popular. As long as you are true to yourself then it does not matter. In the end you probably won't stay in contact with 90% of your graduating class. Good luck. Don't give up because there's always one person out there who cares for you, Jesus Christ. He will always be there for you.

Answer 9

Don't think about being popular, just think about finding ways to spend time with other students and get to know them and them you better. Find ways to interact with other students by joining groups, volunteering for some project, etc. The more you get your face out there, the more the other kids will be open to talk to you. Also, be a good student. Kids are more likely to partner up with someone that they believe will get good marks.

Answer 10

Be friendly towards others, say hello and smile. or just simply smile at people when you glance at them, do not stare at them just look at them , smile and look away. If you see them smiling at you, smile back and don't look away so quickly and abruptly. Take showers daily and dress with clean clothes everyday, brush your teeth daily and look happy. Be ready to help others or at least to offer your help by saying "can I help with that?" or by saying "if there is anything I can do to help you, let me know" Also, read your bible to find out who you are, You are a Child of God, and that alone should make you happy and you will feel better about talking to others, and your self-esteem. Hope this helps you.
