Nikki> the people that told you that when you where a child probably didn't think too much of themselves either. You must remember that you are an important individual and that your life has an important meaning. Of course you can succeed in life, you only have to but behind all the pain from the past and realize that you are IMPORTANT and that many people love you and admire you for many different reasons.

You are not alone. Try reading the "success" literature.
"The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale.
"How I Raised Myself from Failure to Success" by Frank Bettger.
"How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" and "How To Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.
Can't remember the title but another great author is Joe Girard who is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the world's greatest salesman.
"The Scroll" by Og Mandino.
And, as all other people who answered your question have said, "Stop believing what people have told you about yourself". Stand before the mirror every morning and say out loud: "I'm bloody great, I am!" And keep saying it until you believe it.
As for achieving success in any venture, keep saying to yourself, "This is something I CAN do!" Your subconscious mind is a giant. It will make plans for success provided you tell yourself "This is something I can do!" If you force yourself to believe it, you will find successful ideas will spring into your conscious mind without any hard work from yourself.
And never forget, you have a right to be here just as much as the birds, the trees and the rest of the people around you. You were not made so that you could fail. You were made for a reason. \you are valuable and important.
Good luck and God bless you.

Same her. I was put down a lot, to a certain extent.
I now own my own business. It's not huge, but I'm the boss!
I make the decisions, I do the work, I do the nominating. ME!!
I decided to change, I decided I was fed up with being told I'd never amount to much. HA HA HA HA ....Me! The boss!
Think positive my friend, you too, can be your own boss and master of you're own destiny.
You will get knock-backs. But learn to turn these to your own advantage. After every knock-back, I thought, "Oh bugger it!", Then I did the next one differently. The hard thing is not to let the knock-backs sink you!
I got work now, plenty of it too!
It's all in the head, just took me longer than most to realise it!
I wish you the best of luck for the future, and will remember you in my thoughts. I'll even send good luck thoughts to you!...And anyone else that asks.

Of course you can be Positive, because you didn't cause the problem in the first place.It was caused by others,their behavior injured you and caused you pain. It is for them to feel in the wrong not you. You are your own person and the world is your Oyster. You must tell them how you feel and leave them to ponder on their mistakes.Once you have done this close the door on them and start your new life. Your Motto is ," You have no Power over me ,I am the Person I have Always Been." !!!! Be strong and decide what you would like to do.Have you decided on a career ? Are you at school ? What are your aims in Life.? Make new friends, but most of all see who you are. Write lists of your abilities, i.e. music, reading, art, sport, socializing.If you would like to contact me by e, mail please do. Lindsay Jane Caress.

Yes,it is possible to think positive even if you are surrounded by a crowd shouting that you are no good.Learn to ignore the critics, concentrate on the work in hand. Keep improving it day by day. Before long, you will be better than the best so far.

omg that realy sucks!! of course, everyne as sumin they're good at!!!! just focus, find a trait that you think is good. and build from there. build up your self-confidence
AND NEVER, EVER THINK YOU ARE NO GOOD. NEVER think allyou think is negative. that attitude will not help, be happy, focus on those little things in life tht make it so great!!
dunno if that helped, but forget hte past, you know you're good, and everyone know that youre not all bad. and failureis a chance for succes in the future!!!!!!
hope that helps!!!!!! really, you can change.

that was the fault of youre teacher/parents and nothing to do with you..I have met the most streetwise people that earn a lot and came from the worse backgrounds so it comes to self belief.Everybody is good at something ask youre true friend and they will tell you if not dont believe for one second you are not good enough,i proved people wrong

YES you can be BETTER than the person who said all the bad things to you,the thing is they were/are bad themselves so they think so are you.
It is all up to you if you want a MORON's opinion but your master then it will be,so do not sit on your backside and feel sorry for yourself that way you will never get anywhere.
NOTHING OUTSIDE OUR LIFE IS OUR MASTER.

Yes you can. Tell yourself daily that you are as good as anyone else. Borrow some self help books (self esteem confidence etc.) from the library. This is being positive. You can do it.
