since I was 11 years old I've had a low-self esteem up until last week when I officially declared I will not allow myself to beat up myself because of what others think. Imagine spending your days crying feeling depressed and thinking you're not good enough. Well I'm thru with crying. Its about time I loved myself and started living. I literally drove myself crazy constantly thinking about what people thought....and then I reached a breaking point. So let me tell you, loving yourself is so beautiful and it makes life so much easier. Its a shame it took me 9 years just to finally realize that. So if there is anyone out there downing yourself-- don't, It just isn't worth it. You only got one life so live it and love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Share your comments.

That attitude is not the right one either. Yes care about yourself and keep yourself out of harms way. My question is do you become so self centered that you give up on allothers. Biblically you shouldn't. Not everything can be that cut and dried. Just my thoughts. I was like you. I become a me for me and only me person and you know what it got really lonely. I find if I am afraid of being hurt or whatever I just do a random act of kindness and I feel better. You can still help and be with others you just have to learn to take things with a grain of salt.

Of course you are right. The one opinion that should carry the most weight is yours. You have to be your own best friend before you can be a real friend to anybody else. But, you can't get self-centered about it. You can't get full of yourself and refuse to listen to anybody because sometimes other people have valuable opinions as well. It should all be taken under advisement. And you can't beat yourself up because it took you 9 years to learn that lesson. We all learn lessons all the way through life. There will be more.

Good for you, that's a giant step. I am so glad that you finally came through it and realized that people are all the same so who cares what people think. Be yourself and love who you are. You are worthy and have a purpose here. Enjoy your new found freedom!

Thats good that you feel the way you do. But you seem angry and if thats the way you feel, you still need to do alot of healing.
