I barely have self esteem! I feel like I'm nothing! What do I do? Help now!?
Question:
Answers:
Well, first off: stop "sniffing the sharpies". This is wierd, causes brain damage, makes others think less of you and probably does nothing to raise your self-esteem.
Beyond that, focus on what makes you different from others - the good things. This can be difficult when you have low self-esteem. Do you like your eyes? Maybe focus on them by wearing eyeshadow or eyeliner. Do you love reading? Start a book club at your school to meet other people who share your passions/interests.
You are special - even if you don't believe it, it is true.

Its always hard to have a self-esteem problem. I would probably have one myself because I'm not pretty at all, but I have amazing friends and family who have encouraged me and made me feel amazing anyway.
I believe that encouragement and advice from your friends and family could be exactly what you crave. If you'd like, I could get to know you and then shower you with compliments!!
I mean you're obviously very gracious by saying that you're not quite as good as the spectacular pretty girls and it takes a raelly brave person to admit they have a problem and you're smart for wanting to get help and she recognizing that you need to get higher self-esteem. I already think you are an amazing person and am terribly surprised that other people haven't been able to see it.
I felt that way too. Everyone is beautiful in their own special way. Think positive. List all the things your good at-- listening, being responsible, eating healthy, exercising, working towards a degree, hobbys or whatever it is. And add to your list every day and you'll see there's something special about yourself. Volunteering can also make you feel good about yourself
If you have low self esteem you need to look inside yourself and find out why. Who made you feel like you where not good enough. You are who you are. Not anyone else. Feel good about yourself because not everyone can but them self out there to get the answers you are asking. And you would not believe how many of the people that you think are good looking think the same way you do. And aways believe in your self because there is always something special about all of us. There are things you can do that make you better than anyone else. Just believe.
Realize that all girls, no matter how pretty they are, feel the same exact way you do. It seems like it is a natural inclincation for girls going through adolescence (or perhaps beyond that) to feel ugly and insecure about their looks. Aside from that, challenge and dispute your beliefs and realize that a lot of these thoughts are irrational.
you're programmed to want to feel special but this is the source of all struggle and unhappiness. if you can accept your ordinariness and not try to be special, then you have no struggle
