I read somewhere that is all the missfortune in the world would be collected in one place , everybody would chose to take back their own in stead of someone elses...

I have no problem with being me, I like the way I am now and don't want to change anything about myself. If anything that I would change is that I would have more gull to ask a girl out instead of just blushes bad and running away, but then again it is quite cute or so I've been told.

Low Self Esteem Health & Special Psychology

I don't have an inferiority complex -
I'm not good enough for that.

Seriously, self-esteem comes from doing what is right. The best and fastest way for me to feel good is to make somebody else feel good. Nobody is a victim when it comes to self-esteem. We choose who we are, and how we feel about that. In fact, at less cheery times in my life, I have used low self-esteem as an excuse to demand attention. Of course, I didn't get up on a box and threaten to kill myself if people didn't come to be my friends, but I went for the depressed artist thing for awhile. I know I'm not the only one. Self-esteem is a choice, and it comes from other choices - generally unselfish ones.

people do not want to be other people as a rule, they just want to have what other people have.. that being fame, wealth or a good personality.

Fact is that most people can not afford to have everything they want to have and be as generous as they want to be, in the end you will have to admit that you want somethings more badly than others.. you might really want to give allot of money to all the poor in the world, you just want that new car, trip to a distant paradise or plastic surgery more badly.

Basically you choose the person you want to be, just like everybody you have to make choices.

Well, I'm no perfect human being (yet) and I can see that I have flaws. But, you see, those are actually flaws that, though I try, time and again, I fail to completely change. And when I think about it, I really don't want to change them, because they are what make me "me". If everyone was perfect, we'd all be the same. It's our flaws that make us unique in our own special ways. So, if they aren't dangerous to anyone else, I like to think of my flaws as minor qualities, instead, which in turn makes me more open to happy thoughts. Someday, I think I'll be able to fly to the Neverland. Who knows?

Bottomline is: you should ask your real friends why they like you. If they're real friends, they won't like because of your many qualities, they will like you because you're yourself.

Low Self Esteem

Wow. What an exposition of one question! I think all of the replies brought together really give a composite answer to the question of self-esteem. The problem, in my humble opinion, is that this is an Incredibly Complex subject. I, myself, have a horrible self-esteem. I know that well. I know it's something I have to work on. I tend to believe, though that a great deal of the way we interact with the world comes from within ourselves and how we respond to external stimuli. Yes, commercial society is a HUGE influence on how we view ourselves, but that's the environment we exist in. It's up to us to determine how we take it in. Appearances are deceiving. It has taken me a lot of time to come to the conclusion that I am a creation of God and so loved by God. My faith as developed earlier in life was a negative thing. I saw myself as the most sinful person in existence. In reality, I don't really come close, but what an effort it has been to acknowledge God's love. I'm still not good at it. For me, I am my worst enemy when it comes to this. I need to be able to forgive myself. I tend to love others more than I love myself. Because of this, it's important for me to surround myself with positive people. I tend to do well in helping others out, but it is earnestly doing something for myself to be with loving people. While I would have liked to change some of my past decisions, they have made me who I am. Everything happens for a reason. In the end I believe God's Ultimate Plan will out. In the meantime, my esteem is up to me. In my case that's not good. Nevertheless, the power is within the individual.

I remember low self esteem. I was young and had barely made it through high school because I was not energetic and didn't care. Then something began to eat at me. I didn't have a clue what it was or why. I just knew others seemed to have more and be happier than I was. One day I realized I had an impossible dream. I wanted to farm. I didn't even know at that point how impossible my dream was, but I read something that stayed with me. "You are what you think about most of the time."

I stopped wishing and started researching. There was the cost of the land, cost of equipment, the decision of what to grow. For years I watched and listened and learned. I found a real estate agent that didn't know the meaning of the word, "can't." He helped me trade my home in town for the down payment on my dream. I eventually owned two other businesses and lost it all in a recession, but the spark was struck. I worked all day and attended college at night to obtain two contractors licenses. I was back in business and after several years I was hired to oversee the maintainance of a 20 acre $26 million flight training academy.

The truth about self esteem is you will never get it by wishing for it. It is something you have to work for and earn. What a wonderful feeling to one day realize you hadn't even thought about self esteem in years.

The origin of low self esteem.

A low self esteem could begin way back in childhood when children are made to believe that they are worthless. Their self confidence is eroded and they succumb to the idea that they can never achieve success in anything that they do. They were picked on, laughed at, pushed around, called ugly names, and treated with disdain. No wonder they grew up to be full of resentment.

If that was your experience, it is time you cut yourself loose from that mindset and do self esteem improvement. Start reading about the life of successful persons and you will soon discover that many of them had such low self esteem that they could not even complete an elementary education.

Many decided to override their low self esteem and improve their attitude, whatever it took. They became some of the greatest men and women that ever lived.

Low self esteem has never helped anyone else and it sure will not help you. It can only drive you into depression, anger, grudge, fear and all the other evils that it generates.

Re-program your thinking and control your state of mind. You must believe that you are worth much more than you think or you will remain at the foot of the ladder and never make an attempt to climb it.

Do not waste your life away with feelings of inadequacies. Instead, think of ways to go about self esteem improvement. Success is yours, just reach out and grasp it.
