I Have A Very Low Sellf Esteem. by Stargurl20(f): 9:18pm On Jul 05, 2020
I've a very low self esteem, that everytime I'm being scolded about it, I always wish for death.
My low self esteem is killing me, and I feel this lack of confidence of mine, began from childhood when people would criticise my appearance. I hide my face from the world.



Something happened today that made my mum opened up to me that she isn't happy with me. We attended an event( more like a compulsory one for me otherwise I would have avoid going), and I hid in a coner throughout the party that the entire family was wondering the kind of person I'm. I know some thought I'm arrogant which is wrong.

I've cried severally today, that I wish for death....
I'm just a very young lady of 21year old.
This lack of self confidence also makes me avoid guys.

Listen dear, the Problem began with you and it could also end with you.

According to you , you looked down on yourself when People began to say this or that about you..

As long as you wanna do things based on what people will say, you are gonna keep having a problem..

You need to get out from what people think about you, and live according to what God Almighty says about you.

He says you are created in His Image and likeness..

He Says you are wonderfully and Beautifully made..

He says, you can do all things through HIM..

Stop living according to what people say or what people will say!

That's the Solution and it is with you and in you..

well my advice is that, in terms of low self esteem, a good thing to do is to play to your strenghts and accept ur weakness, look 4 what u can do passionately and develop a sense of pride and confidence in it

n please drop that suicidal thought!, it aint sounding sane

It's a phase and it will pass.
This is a time of self discovery for you. In time, you will fully understand and accept who you are, and the opinion of others wouldn't make you cower.
Believe me, confidence will come from self awareness.
For now, work on yourself. Develop skills to help you be independent. Work jobs, earn your own money and plan a future for yourself.
Every other thing will fall in place.

It's funny how you think you have it bad. Your life is like butter and the world is like rough stones, and yet you already feel so much pressure... From what exactly??

Your mother even OPENED UP TO YOU TO TELL YOU SHE ISN'T HAPPY WITH YOU.
My mother was so careless with words while growing, she busted out in countless episodes of raging bitterness, hurling terrible words still, we managed with little effort. It wasn't a BIG issue.

Ultimately, you need the Holy Spirit to restructure your mind and thinking process.

A whole lot more will come against you and you must fight to the finish so brace up, and quit this self esteem issues of yours.

Dear stargurl20
I can correctly say you an introvert, and being an introvert is not a disease
You’re a version of yourself and no one can be you likewise you can’t be someone else
Try as much as possible to always display your version for yourself in all you do and not for anyone
There is nothing you do in life that will not generate either praise or criticism
Until you have confidence in yourself and command respect for yourself you will remain like this
Come out of that bad shell that’s shielding you and depriving you of your confidence
You’re beautifully made by Allah SWT...it is well with you
You can reach me for heart to heart talk via 08033724663
Sweet popcorn for you dear

get involved with a good social group like rotaract. be active, take elective position if possible. Mingle more with people, talk more, hang around with good friends that you're very comfortable with and you tend to talk more when you're with them. gradually, you will change.

I use to be very quiet (though not low self esteem), some people said I'm snubbish, others said I'm proud. Now....

However you look, you have to appreciate and make the most of it. You are very tall & you could even be a model. You don't have to be facially good looking to venture in modelling.

One thing you should know is that beauty is a gift, for some they have it all through their lives. Others they loose it as they grow old.

A lot of ladies that seem to be ugly in Uni days but they are super good looking now and some that looked lovely are just average, fat and lost shape. So sometimes you never know.

I'm not trying to console you, this is just the reality.

It's hard but don't tie your self esteem to how you look, focus on your other qualities.

you need more than talking with few friends. you need friends you can easily make noise and talk loud, expressing yourself around them.

you also need platform that gives you opportunity to talk in public, that is why I suggested one. if you know other good ones, you can join them.

Re: I Have A Very Low Sellf Esteem. by ElenaGillbert: 7:54am On Jul 06, 2020
Hi....
Low self-esteem. When you have low or negative self-esteem, you put little value on your opinions and ideas. You focus on your perceived weaknesses and faults and give scant credit to your skills and assets. You believe that others are more capable or successful. You might have difficulty accepting positive feedback.

To be frank. If not for the fear of eternal punishment attached to suicide, I would have done it long... ago. Who am I to withstand Allah's punishment?

This life is just full of ups and downs. To be sincere at times I wish I was never born.
