Other people are probably not as self confident as you may think. They just figured out that if they make someone else feel bad, it makes them feel better, more powerful, or what ever.

You need to change the dialog going on in your own head. All you need to do, is to tell yourself you are good enough just the way you are, and if others don't like it, too bad for them. You know you have a good heart and try to do the right things, and that is a lot to be proud of. Be yourself and accept yourself, and don't worry about what others think.

When you appear to be self confident, (even if your shaking in your shoes) people will respect you more. And don't let others stupid remarks bring you down. If they see it doesn't bother you, they will stop, because it isn't fun anymore.

Hope this helps

Yamking7 (above me on this answers page) has a great plan for you. Much more detailed, and inspirational, take his advice. It will help you.

i know that there are things about yourself that you take pride in... that is what you seem to lack...but though i can't stand a conceited person, sometimes it is a responsibility to the world that we act according to our best abilities and admit the good we have in us

so do some mental exercises in improving your self image by actually looking at your reflection and seeing what you want yourself to be not what you want other people to see...this is the advice that a beautiful woman gave me years ago
she was 111 yrs. old at the time but her beauty far outshined every woman around


peace love pride

Other people can not make you feel anything unless you tell yourself to feel that way.

It is about attitude. To become more confident you have to do things that make you feel successful and skillful. Challenge yourself to be more outgoing and stop focusing on yourself.

The cure for low self-esteem is to focus on other people and doing things you want to do.

If someone tries to bring you down it is because they themselves are feeling down and they want you to feel the same way they do.

well, first, you seem to appear to be thinking that this is a mental flaw, or problem..when in fact it is probably a result of low self esteeme...you don't judge your own opinions of things or yourself just yet..this will change in time, when you learn to love yourself for who you really are, and start letting people know that you DO count, that you DO matter, and you will start feeling much better x

It's important to observe the mind and learn how it operates.
When a person has low self-esteem, they have a voice in their mind that tells them that they are less-than and inadequate. More than that, that THEY are good for nothing.
It's okay to feel badly ABOUT something, but some folks feel that THEY are bad; This is called SHAME.
The way to tackle it is to examine the lies the mind is telling the person and check reality to see if the mind is accurate.
The mind may say, "You are no good at anything", but if we examine reality, we will see that this person may be bad at golf, but very good at basketball.
The person with low self-esteem must practice this mindful observing of the mind and constantly challenge the lies that are being told to it.
Why would the mind tell the person that he/she is worthless? It is a distortion of the survival mechanism.
The mind may tell the person to be very afraid of dogs, because the person was bitten once when they were young. As an adult, the person may still hear that voice in his/her head telling him/her to be afraid of dogs, but as a grown-up, this person can challenge this lie and get to know other dogs and learn that not all dogs are going to bite him/her.
It helps to have an adult to talk to about one's feelings in this process.
