Also don't be afraid to give me feedback because I'd like to know how good of a job I am doing. Don't be afraid to ask me questions or send me a message.
advice
It's taken me a long time to admit to myself that I have low self esteem and am uncomfortable in my own skin. In most social situations I worry about what I say, how I stand, how I should act, and even how to look at people. It isn't a good feeling because I feel like it's destroyed my understanding of who I am. I know what like, what my hobbies are, and what I want to get out of life, but I just feel so confused about myself. I first started to notice this when I started to like a guy at school. I couldn't even maintain a steady conversation with him for very long and found myself questioning my actions. After that, I couldn't even sit normally. And now see how in denial I've been because I am always conscious of myself. And I take out my frustration on my parents and friends. I feel like I can change and when I do, I know I'll feel wonderful, because this has been going on for a long time now. I decided that I had to let go of liking this guy because I'm not ready to pursue someone if I don't even have a clue about myself. If anyone has any ideas or experiences with self esteem, I would appreciate you help so much. Because wow, I really need help.
thank you :)
Oh my gosh. Okay I have gone through the same thing. It really is very hard. What you have to do is just believe in yourself. I have low self esteem too. try standing in front of a mirror and giving yourself at least one compliment a day. You will in time learn that you aren't a bad person at all. Now, the taking it out on other people thing. Don't do this. It will push people away. Try talking to the person calmly about what's going on. It's also always okay to ask people to help you. Don't ever be afraid to do that. Good luck =]
