I am 18 years old and right now I feel as if I just discovered the source of all my problems: my lack of self-worth. I have been completely unaware of how badly I beat myself up. I have realized that since I lack positive self-worth, I do not respect myself.I came to realize that through someone: This person cares for me but I refused to believe it, like usual. The difference with this person was that I couldn't find a reason why she would pretend to care for me, which is usually what I do with othe people. For example, when someone would tell me they love me I always told myself, they are only saying that because saying that is only in thier best interest.
I just finished writing a letter to myself telling me what a bright, love-deserving, intelligent, beautiful person I am.
I am on the right track and would just like some input from people that have been through this.

Try starting off by saying good things to yourself every morning and try to compliment yourself as much as possible!!! YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON, you just need to remind yourself of it. In fact, you are not alone. EVERYONE needs to be reminded... that's why spas are in business.

You made a huge achievement by acknowledging the source of all your problems.
Growing up, I felt that life was tiresome. I had the desire to pass on although the thought of committing suicide or any form of self-destruction did not occur to me.
Please understand: my family and environment was very positive; gloomy thinking was simply how my mind worked. Life was in a sort of suspended animation, as if I was alive but detached from the body.
Perhaps emotional maturity set in because although I do not fear death, I no longer have a desire to die.
Yes, we all deserve to respect our selves, that is the best we can do to our being.
Peace be to all.

u seem to have a very serious question. my 2 cent is that self worth and confidence come from loving parents providing care, respect, & motivation. not all have this situation and alternative sources like TV is are bad substitutes.
my advice is to work hard in what you are interested in. once you are expert in matters you studied, confidence will follow.
