So how u get over it?
Re: low self esteem
Its not particularly easy i assume...people with low self esteem tend to care a lot about what people around them think...and its because of negative comments from the people around them that people have low self esteem...their view of themselves tends to emanate from others views towards them...
i know it sounds cliche but to build self esteem you need to stop caring about what people around you think and not let their comments bring you down...concentrate on your own needs, wants and ambitions and work to fulfil them rather than concentrating on others opinions and views of you...
Easier said than done...
Re: low self esteem

Re: low self esteem
Dont think .. people with low self esteem usually start making up different ways some thing will turn out. Usually the different scenarios they come up with are bad , not good. So the simplest answer would be to not think about wat ur going to do . Or do wat ull tell someone else to do if they were in the same situation.

Re: low self esteem
Sara, it depends. Is self-esteem asociated with any specific issues or just in general? Like low confidence?
Some people can build self-esteem by just being with friends who make them feel good about themselves or talking with a good friend, mother, trusted person.
You could look into a mirror and say, "You are a special person, I value you."
You could see a professional who will hynotise you and allow you to release childhood issues buried deep within your subconscious.
You could take kick boxing classes and 'empower' yourself.
A little bit of low self-esteem is good though, it's humbling. But I hope you're not feeling held back by it. I don't mean to be joking in my post. I've dealt with it too and actually talked with someone professional for other issues associated with low self-esteem...years ago. I think some age helps. As you grow 'older' Oh God, you become wiser and you just don't care about anything anymore.

You gotta feel better physically, if you feel better physically you'll feel better mentaly. Dress well, wear clothes that fit you and you look comfortable wearing it. Eat healthy, sleep well, make sure you have some work to do and last but not least have fun. There are many ways you can have Fun (if your fun is loggin on to GS then it is not fun, OK).

Re: low self esteem
Re: low self esteem
workout actually. Self esteem is related to self image. If you dont like how you look you`ll think others dont like how you look too.
Working out is a GREAT WAY of building self esteem. So get them free weights (light ones for you girlies) and start working out and jogging. Swimming is a very good excercise too and one of the more funner ones :)

Re: low self esteem
I’m not laughing at you dear, I’m laughing at the idiotic reply by Miss Nia. If you are concerned about your weight Sara, start working out with utmost dedication and eat right. Keep thinking about what you will achieve once you start, and let that motivate you for as long as possible. If you are concerned about other issues, take them step by step. Going to the bathroom and looking at yourself in the mirror will not do anything. You will see results once you are dedicated and stubborn.
