I once read a self help book under self esteem/ inspirational. It helped me a lot because it described the critical voice and the nurturing voice we hear in our minds. This introduced me to the idea that I didn't have to listen to the critical voice if I didn't want to. That voice tells me I'm horrible and low person, worthy of no friendships. it compares me to other people and tells me I'm not good enough. The nurturer tells me I am worthy, but I have to go deep within to find that voice.

Have low self-esteem.

my name is doormat glad to meet you

well since i only get attention from creepy older men i say no

I stopped thinking people were "better" then me. My opinion was important, my thoughts were worth hearing

I went through an awkward stage, but once I changed my look I felt much better.

Learned to accept compliments!

Building self esteem really helps.

Hi boys and girls, check out this article on building self-confidence. http://www.mindtools.com/selfconf.html
I have been trying to practice the solution outlined in it. I have been assigned to a brand new challenge in my job and will have to work far away from home for 6 months. I am not familiar with the type of work and will need to work hard to learn it quickly. I am feeling very uneasy about it and fear that I may fail. Sometimes I break down just thinking/worrying about it. I can really use some encouragement from you if you can be generous =)

Over the years my self-esteem has improved, I can thank my ex for that!

low

Well, I have pretty good self-esteem, and it works pretty good.

working of building true self-esteem, not based on outward appearance, but based on inner strength and fortitude.

Haha that would help if I had more. =]
