Question:
Answers:
Finding true happiness does indeed require one to develop a healthy sense of self-worth. We can't learn it from a family who never learned to develop it, so we have to look elsewhere. Consider how your Creator himself feels about you, and then strive to accept yourself as you are. Only then can you forgive yourself for your shortcomings (even those that are merely perceived), and move on to a healthy love of yourself.
Maybe you should try talking to a therapist. Pretending is definitely not going to help, and low self esteem is such a hard thing to go at alone. Read some of the articles below and maybe you can get more insight.
Always believe in yourself. If you don't you will have a long road to follow that will be lonely. So boost up your self confidence and you will be reaching for the stars.
Be what you really are, if you are a little timid then just be that way, but learn to accept and enjoy what you are. I've been through the same. But I realised later in my life that , the so called bolder ppl actually admired me for my self worth, value u r self above all , nothing matters more.
Well yes you can change that, and find self worth, and confidence. You have low self esteem, and instead of pretending , you have to really believe what you are telling your self, that you are a worth wild person. It does not happen over night, it can take quit a wild, since you have been around it, and been doing it all of your life. You need to change for yourself, and yourself only. No one can do that for you. I know, cause i had to battle the low self esteem. They have choosen to stay the way they are, or just did not know how to get out of it. You need to look in the mirror, and say positive things about yourself to you. You need to learn to believe what you are saying. It will be very hard in the being, but it will get easier over time. So don't give up on yourself, there is always hope, and this is something that you can do, and you must keep telling yourself that too. You will find that you will be happier, and have better relationships. But it all starts with you, you need to believe in yourself, and that you are as good as anyone else.
This may sound old fashioned, but doing something for others will make you feel better about yourself and your life. We are all wanting our lives to be important-for us to be important. Try volunteering, an organization, humane society, children's hospital-volunteer to read to the kids.
You are not the only person. Many of us all secretly struggle. Good luck.
You need to see all of the good qualities you have and your true potential.your family's view of themselves should not change how you see yourself.you could be depressed and it could be hereditary.you might need to see someone and/or be on medication, but try to be optimistic and DO NOT pretend.you are only lying to yourself and not trying to convince yourself that you are worthy.which you should be doing.If you let yourself SEE how great you are and accaept it.you will feel better about yourself and have more confidence.only then will others see what you have to offer.You DO NOT have to be the most confident girl in the room to feel good about yourself and know where you are going.
I had this same problem all throughout school. I was overweight, and my family was poor, so I felt I had nothing to offer anyone. However, once I decided I had enough of people picking on me, I started mocking myself as a joke. I didn't seriously mean to be cruel to myself, I was just mocking the people who picked on me. Doing this helped me see that I was more than what I thought I was, and it made me stop thinking about what other people thought of me. If you, up front, declare yourself to be some way, no one can make fun of you for it, it's a dead joke. When I said "I'm a fatty" to a bully, if he said "shut up fatty", it didn't have the same punch to it.
What I'm trying to get at is, take your flaws in stride. If you are self-concious about something, people pick up on that. All you need to do is acknowledge you have shortcomings, that everyone does, and once you start to value the things that make you better than that person over there, everyone else will, too. As for your family members... when they belittle themselves, give them a little pep. If your grandpa says he is no good, remind him of something he did right, maybe like bringing up your parents to raise such a wonderful person!
go see the doctor..i'm sure you are truly a great person!
