hey everyone has different reasons for visiting an posting in this site. i think its pretty cool and i am amazed at what people say. i admit its funny and sometimes very stupid questions.i only feel sorry for people who are on line 24/7. its good to be on line you also need t be around people. that's just horrible!! anyways this site is pretty interesting. sometimes there's questions you cant actually stand up and ask.  so you can feel comfortable. or whatever reason. as for my stupid questions...I'm surprised how many people are actually supportive and informing me with there intelligent information. as for sellfesteem , confidence, accepting who you are, most of all listening to your own advise. dont always rely on other people. no one knows you better than ure self. iight hun... good question. good luck

It took me 35 years to learn this one.  One's own perception of self is very powerful and it's hard to understand when others don't see you the same way.  The reality is that 99.99% of people don't know what's in your head whether you feel good or bad about yourself.  You need to learn to see what others see in you.  Yeah, they could be yankin' your chain hoping to pull you out of your funk, or they could be genuinely honest about what they see.  It won't matter until you get over yourself, until your own perception goes beyond "fat and ugly".

i would suggest you see a psychologist or psychiatrist on a regular basis.  you just go in there and talk to him/her and you can hear yourself talk and get some issues taken care of.  one thing that helped my self-esteem issues was i started thinking positive.  for instance, when you wake up first thing in the morning, listen to the sounds the birds make.  enjoy the smell of coffee as it brews.  smile at your loved ones.  these ideas for thinking positively may seem weird to you, but I'm telling you, they do work.  and last, but not least, believing in the Lord Jesus Christ is absolutely wonderful.  He takes care of me everyday.  all you have to do is acknowlege that you have been a sinner and ask Jesus Christ into your heart and He will come to you and take care of you from then on.  don't laugh, it's true.

i don't think anyone is 100% happy with themselves. I think i'm fat, even though i'm really not. don't worry, i'm sure everyone thinks they have at least 1 imperfection.

sadly to say...I've been at both ends of your question until I took a hard look at who I was and now I'm truly genuine. what I did and who I was put a lot of fan fair on me. It was fun until I wanted to get serious with life at a comfort level of "normal" . there's no room for ego when you want to share your life with someone special.. Don't confuse ego with self confidence. :)

Hello! Can understand what you mean. Have not got too much self-esteem neither... but I have come to accept that it is not okay for me to feel that way somehow. I want to change it. Think one really needs to decide deep within to change it. There are many beautiful suggestions here. A counsellour I saw some time ago told me that I should say out loud "I am a wrothwhile person and I deserve to be happy." ... and it worked. Just that I became kind of lazy :o) . What might help you as well is the link below. It might seem childish but it really does help. Enjoy it and good luck to feeling better toward yourself :-) !

Sometimes, it is reflection.\nSometimes, it is search for knowledge.\nSometimes, it is curiosity about what other people think.\nAll of those are acceptable.\nA few like to ask mocking questions, for some reason.  My own guess is that it makes them feel superior.  Such a lack of self-esteem is truly pitiful.\nWhat is even more pitiful is when we respond in kind.  I know I've been guilty of it at times.  I'm trying to learn more self-restraint.

I don't think so, not if you have to ask. Sounds like you're not confident at all. Get it together little woman, where's your self-confidence?

People loose their egos because they listen to what others say or think about them. Or they only believe what the naysayers say not about them not the positive things said about them. To regain your self esteem listen to only positive people, make a list of the things about you that are good, know the negative people are often negative to make themselves. REMEMBER GOD DOESN'T MAKE JUNK!!

Have you ever heard of self esteem. Well that seems to be what you are lacking. You shouldn't be worried about what's going on around you and what someone else is thinking but what you feel. If you feel your overweight YOU need to do something about it. You need to be better for you to become a better person. AND PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE'S YOU DO NOT NEED A MAN! If anything you need to leave them alone for awhile and do for you. Work on you. From a ladi that's been there. Care about home first then invite someone to visit.

Conceited is having a very high opinion you have of yourself (whether in general or in specific aspects of yourself or in certain instances). \n\nIt is often seen as a negative thing, but doesn't  have to be in every case. Sometimes it's just self-confidence\n\nArrogance is making assumptions or  behaving negatively toward other people on the basis of that conceit--regardless of how accurate that conceit is.\n\nExample:\n\nBelieving that my answer to this question is pretty darn good is conceited (I hope not in a negative way)\n \nbut, \n\nAssuming that all the other answers are lousy and that the people who posted them are stupid would be arrogant (and btw, I don't believe that at all)\n\nHope this helps

It means know who you are... Be sure of who you are & stick to that & don't try to be anyone else. Find what is good about yourself & be happy w/those things.\n\nIt also means know your strengths & weaknesses & don't be afraid to admit them. Be proud of what you can do & don't try to hide or pretend on the things you can not.\n\nHope this about covers it :)

Yes, you not only have a self-esteem problem, but a spiritual one also!  Just so you know.....you were made a little lower than the Angels...not one of God's animals...which would not be saying too much for God!\n\nLook in the mirror AGAIN and repeat this 3 x's!\n  \nMirror, mirror on the wall,\nWho's the fairest of them all;\nwhy, it must be me, 'cause I'm the only\none in the mirror I see!!\n\nThis is not vain or selfish, just a self-esteem BOOSTER!\n\nGod Bless You!

People are judgemental all the time. Believe it or not, this is how life is. There are people out there that don't care in the world who you are, and yet be your friend. Then, there are the people that if you were something, or say something out-of-the blue, it is like the end of the world because of it.\n\nIt is ridiculous, I know. I have friends that do that, and I always tell them that they should get to know them instead of beign judgemental. \n\nIt could also depend on the person themselves. They could be really full of themselves and think they are too good for certain people, and look for "cooler" ones that are actually at their "level". Those people that judge may have a low self esteem, and if they judge, that will somehow raise their esteem. \n\nStupid, I know...but true.

no, its a fairly easy question bu requires a few minutes to search for the answer.\n\nyeah. i love myself. all the good qualities as well as the bad. that is who I'm and its not gonna change very soon\n\nso whats the point of hating oneself? you are stuck with yourself. \n\nso you better start loving yourself coz a bucket full of wishful thinking will not change you.
