I have just been in a meeting at work - I felt like my opinions did not matter - like I was just a speck of dust there.
This isn't the only 'incident', there have been many others - mainly pertaining to work.
Do You feel like everyone's better than you.

People try to make me feel like this all the time at work!!! Problem is, we are to good!!! They are trying to belittle us to make them selves better! My latest example of this is at my aprasal 12 months ago, i was promised to do my Level 3 NVQ in Bus. and Admin. There is free funding for level 2, so we agreed i would do that as its free, then straight on to 3. I completed in 14 weeks (normal 9 months) - already to go, now they can't afford it as its not free. I have said i will self fund it (£600.00) - They still putting barriers up!!!!!!! They just don't want me to get ahead so i don't leave cause they would be in the s**t without me!!! Well, if they don't let me i'll leave, so better pull their fiunger out!!
Don't let them grind you down chick.... YOU ARE THE BETTER PERSON!!

All the time. I grew up in a situation where it was best to be seen and not heard. That kind of stuck with me and now I'm timid in almost every single daily situation. At work I usually take the back seat and only make suggestions after I think about them for a long while and get some feedback from other co-workers. I can't see me changing my ways unless my selfconfidence rises.

Yeah I do sometimes,mainly around certain people who seem to fall into a certain group,and make me feel I'll never fit in or nothing I have to say even registers.It hurts and it angers,but I try not to let it get under my skin since these people I deal with do it to others as well,I don't feel so alone.All you can do is do your best and be yourself,eventually someone will recognise that and value it.

I'm sure everyone feels like this, though some feel it worse that others. Just try to remember next time you feel like this that there are a lot of people so much worse off than you and to be grateful for what you've got.

I often felt that way when I worked for someone else and I think alot of workers do. I opened my own business and try not to make my employees feel that way. Sometimes it is hard though to include their ideas because they don't look at the bigger picture of things. Just keep trying to fit in and do your best and it might sometime be rewarded.

Constantly! Hate my job, am on the sick and looking for something new and it's soul destroying! It's so hard trying to sell yourself when you feel totally pants.
Work sucks the life out of you doesn't it. Just remember, you only do it so you can live, you don't live to work, that sometimes makes it easier!

yep, sounds very familiar.
had a meeting yesterday, im still quite new and so many times been told speak up we wanna hear what you have to say even though i've just been trying to take it all in and will say something if need be.
Yesterday i plucked up the courage to speak more...all everyone did was grunt slightly, roll their eyes and change the subject.
great...now i know what they think of me and it dont feel great

i always felt that way, but now im a stronger person who dos not think that way anymore, and it makes me more aware of others arround me.
if you have an understanding boss, have a chat in private with them, and see if they understand. if not, take your skills elsewhere and find a place that works for you!
and never forget that no1 is better than you, your special!!!

yea i feel like that sometimes. i have never thought of it as bad self esteem though, because i dont have that. im just a bit too modest. (or so i have been told)
it sucks when people think they are better than you and they have no problem letting you know that.
