any advice on how I can build my self esteem?

Answer 1

Building your self-esteem is not the easiest thing to do, but it starts and ends with you. If you let others dictate how you feel about yourself to you then you'll always have low self-esteem. You need to tell yourself over and over again that you're a good person (better yet, tell yourself that you're a VALUABLE person) and that you have a lot to offer your friends, your family, and your future husband -- if you decide you want to get married. Be brave enough to be yourself and don't listen to what other people say about you if they're running you down. On that note, you also need to realize that not everyone is going to like you and that's OK. Don't take it personally if people don't like you. Many people will run others down because they're very insecure and just want to make themselves feel better. See that and realize how immature those people are, but don't stoop to their level -- if you don't have something nice to say about someone, it's better to keep shut than say something nasty about them. The most important thing to remember is that YOU are in charge of you and YOU decide how you feel about yourself. It can be very liberating when you get to the point where you can just be your true self without trying to fit in with the crowd, but at the same time it's a huge responsibility because once you put yourself in charge of how you feel about yourself, you also put yourself in charge of how you deal with what life throws at you. It all comes down to attitude, my friend. If you believe that you're a good, strong person, then that is EXACTLY what you will be. If you believe that you can deal with whatever life throws at you, no matter how shocking or painful it may be, then you WILL be able to do it. Reaffirm your strength and your self-worth to yourself every day, and think of it as your own personal session with Hans and Franz -- Ve are heere, to pomp YOU OP!!!
