It's an unfair perception you have of yourself. Those I've known who have low self esteem were typically charming and sensitive people. Somtimes they were surrounded at work, school or home by dysfunctional people. I'm talking about the dysfunctional types that exaggerate other's shortcomings so that they feel superior or appear to be superior and in control. Alternatively you may have set set such a high standard for yourself that you can only be a failure. Sometimes parents play a hand in setting high standards. If you search Yahoo for 'low self esteem' you'll find some insightful reading that might help.

Self esteem is a very interesting creation of the mind. If you study buddhism a little you will find that the main premis of all our suffering is the illusion of self. If you investigate our sense of self you will find that it is a creation of our interpretaion of our senses and our thinking. Its too invloved to explain in such a short answer. You could work on filling your thoghts with a positive focus, wich is great, but you would still be a victim to your self esteem. If you look into and untangle the self that needs to have an "esteem" you are working on the root of the issue. Then you will find a hapiness and peace free from any external conditions. As you begin to walk on this path you will slowly stop believing the stories your mind is telling you about yourself and also the stories it is telling you about others. Other spiritual paths may also address this issue, the only one I experience with is Buddhism. If you are interested find some books or a local group or on the interenet. http://www.buddhanet.net/audio-talks.htm has great talks to listen to. Have a great journey!

First things first: Suicide is not and never will be the answer. Coming from someone with a history of severe depression and suicidal thoughts that I still deal with everyday, I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I know how you feel. Some days you can't even find a reason to get out of bed. Your life has no meaning and you feel worthless. It's not normal to feel like that, but you are not alone. The best thing you can do for yourself is find someone to talk to, maybe a parent, a close friend, or even a trustworthy teacher. I know it's scary letting someone in and telling them how you feel, but once you do, things will start to get easier. I promise things won't always be as bad as they seem now.<3

yes, it could kill you if you don't do something about it. There is no reason for you to feel this way. You are as good as anybody else. If you are too fat, loose weight! If you think you are ugly, try different things that flatter you. I don't know the reason for the way you feel, but let me enlighten you.
Make the best of everyday you have. After all, God don't care what color, what you have accomplished, or what you feel yo have done wrong in your life. When you are on the other side, you are equal to even the Kings, movie stars. You all are equal in God's eye's.

You are a person. You are a part of us all. We all started from Adam and Eve, so we are like one big family. So, you are important. Just as important as the most highly paid CEO, or the most sought after celebrity. And YES, low self esteem is not good for your health. So, realize your importance.

its a long road ahead for you. its a slow process to change yourself. be conscious and conscientious of your thoughts and actions, analyse your thoughts - if it leads to low self-esteem, slowly tune your mind to change the thought/habit/feeling etc. it needs lots of training and guidance from those around you. if alone, it will take longer but definitely possible. my daughter has it, but slowly its moving away as she was struggling with it and now much better...

it may not seem like a big deal, but it is. Try to make it a priority to think of positive things, and try not to be so negative. Be happy and confident in yourself, you will find that life will be sooo much better, and you will be much more happier. Find friends who appreciate who you are and recognize you in a good way.
good luck, hope it gets better.

i hope not. i have low self esteem too. it does make life a lot more difficult i imagine. stay strong and dont fear it killing you, instead try to live with it, or learn to kill it. you are human, it is an emotion. you have more power.

Being alive is slowly killing you, too. Why make it worse by getting all down on yourself? That's what the rest of us are for! ;)
