just think about positive things in life, and what makes them happy...and..to know that life isn't worth being shy, or down about...but to try to live it right...
you can go to classes...i went when i was in 4th grade, teacher recommended me...and, i had so much fun then, they helped...now, i think well of myself, and i'm social...enough...
i'm not really sure, i just know that's what helped me...
maybe you could go some place where you could help another, and if you love kids, well kids make me happy, i enjoy them...they are brats sometimes, but they sometimes know what's wrong...(sisters)
if this is you, then i wish u well! but it's something that's best figured out

How would you tell someone else to do it? You can begin by reinforcement of affirmation. By that, I mean to write down all the positive aspects of yourself, no matter how small or trivial you may think they are. And every morning, as you are having your breakfast or coffee or daily devotion, go over your list OUT LOUD. Read it aloud every chance you get. Even the Bible says repetition for emphasis, so don't think it's silly. It's affirmation!
Secondly, do the things that you would like in another person. Do you admire honesty? Be honest! You needn't be cruel, but become known for always being an honest person. Do you like art? Go on line, or to your local museum, and become knowledgeable about art, or artists in your area. Do you wish you could start a conversation with just anyone? Try it out! Anyone can start a conversation with a stranger about the weather; the local sports team; the price of gasoline; the war in Iraq; the breakdown of morals in the world... you can start simple, or you can jump right in and get to the crux of things.. there are people out there who are simply thirsty for someone to talk with about things that matter, like religion, or family, or the future.
Be kind. Be patient. Be interested and interesting! Help others any chance you get, always do your best, and lo and behold, soon you will be the person that you want to be!

By forgiving ourselves for the failures that we use to bring our self-esteem down. The path out of low esteem requires some sort of successful thing from personal energy and to succeed at forgiving ourselves is a start in that dirrection. And if it is not too serious, a temporary depression perhaps a good walk to overcome it.

Self-esteem is created through performing acts of esteem. By helping others and giving freely of oneself (without expectation of reward), a person can achieve a sense of purpose and self-worth. It works, it really does.

I wish I knew the answer to that question. One must believe in oneself and remember their own accomplishments to achieve that lofty goal. My self-esteem has been shot down by an over-bearing husband, but I must remember; what all I accomplished before he came along. I had great achievements, and I'm sure you did, too. Learn to love yourself, and othes will, tool

Make little post it notes and write on them "I'm smart" or "I'm successful", "I'm pretty", "I'm funny" ect. and say them out loud to yourself everyday in the morning and before you go to bed.
