How do I get him to believe in himself ?


Question Posted Monday September 29 2014, 3:11 am

Me and my boyfriend are 18 ,and we have been together for about a year and a half . He's a very easy to person to fall in love with but he does not see it. He doesemt believe in him self as much as I do . He is a really beautiful person,only he has been through so much in his life . His mom being emotionally abusive to him ,growing up in a not so nice part of town. And just his surroundings . He is actually really the opposite of it all though . He likes poetry ,meditation,music,dance,and everything artistic. He puts on this mean faced Ora I till he's comfortable with people ,and it can come off mean. I'm trying to get him to believe in himself more .he recently told me he was scared of the world and I just want to tell him everyone loves you so don't worry about it .so how can I get him to see what I see?

By telling him. Compliment him when you can and encourage him. Granted, it seems it's the rest of the world he fears, not you. Regardless of how much praise you can give him, that might not change his self esteem in relation to the rest of the world. The best thing you can do is encourage him to share his skills with other people. To put himself out there, because it's hard to get over a fear of what people think without sharing with other people.
