Steps To Overcoming Low Self Esteem by Hope6289(f): 12:17pm On Mar 13, 2015 |
I grew up with low self esteem as a major challenge and it all started in Secondary school because I was teased a lot about my nose, small boobs and stature, lol. I thought I was over it until I started dating and it affected my relationships negatively because I was so scared I wasn't good enough and unfortunately, that negativity affected my partner not to see the good in me. I eventually faced this problem and would love to share the steps to help others, especially ladies. 1) Love yourself: you can't give what you don't have. You can't love and accept someone else when you can't love and accept yourself. Don't wait for someone to come and love you, love yourself first and that love would be contagious to people around you. 2) Identify the positive things about you: stop focusing on the negative. With time, I noticed there were beautiful things about myself I had not noticed and I started working on myself and loved myself the more. My eyes were opened to see someone who also saw the best in me and loved me for me 3) Be yourself, don't copy others: we're different and that's what makes life fun and beautiful. Not everyone can be tall, fair, busty, rich, etc. Be yourself and don't apologize for it! 4) Don't look for the flaws in yourself or other people: I noticed because I was used to identifying my flaws, I was also quick to identify other people's flaws. But when I made up my mind to focus on the best about people, I started seeing the best in myself. 5) Work on yourself: study yourself, improve on yourself, look good, be happy, let people see how smart, intelligent, joyful and beautiful you are. A low self esteem shows the worse side of you. A healthy self esteem shows the star in you. 6) Avoid negative people: don't hold on to people who are focused on ur flaws, don't be so afraid u need d emotional attachment to someone when the person doesn't love u the way u are! 7) Pray about it: trust me, it works! You can also add yours. Be happy, you're wonderful and unique the way u are 16 Likes 1 Share |

when i was in sec sch, i was teased cos' am very skinny. i hated myself. i didn't like going out, always indoor. even when i must go out, i take the 'apain way' to avoid people from seeing me. i guess it affected me badly. but thank God am improving. am now proud of my body structure, i no longer hide myself. even when am called 'atinga' 'earthworm', i dont take it seriously. i just laugh it off. i know with time, i wil stop being shy totally and start speaking publicly. 4 Likes |

Dimples192:It's hard but if you try, it's worth it. I went through it, was teased and felt rejected even from my own r/ship but I had to face the problem and I started seeing the good side of things. I've met people who have suffered from it so badly, someone I know even attempted suicide, but giving up or being depressed about a problem would never solve it. Pls try dear 1 Like |
