As for as long as i can remember i have had no self esteem. I'm not writing this for attention, this is something I battle everyday. I look at myself and pick apart everything- my skin tone, my hair, my body, everything. I think this probably started when I was in middle school. Everyone would call me ugly,etc. Then gradually over time I changed. I got my braces taken off, I got contacts, I started wearing makeup, I started doing my hair, etc. Then my dad died and everything went fucking down the drain. i am always nervous for no reason. I am always anxious. my hands often are clamy for no reason. I underestimate myself all the time. I feel like i will never be good enough for anything. I'll never suceed, nothing. I'm 18 years old and i feel like a waste. I talk to a therapist and she doesn't understand why i have no self esteem. :| [/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post Anonymous Posted at 11:41 am on Dec. 4, 2008 this may be long.

Replies Zetsuai Posted at 11:51 am on Dec. 4, 2008 What a useless therapist. Sometimes we have trouble finding the beauty in ourselves, because we always look at what the norm is and assume that it makes us a better person to fit in with the norm. Sometimes we don't fit with the norm and we feel lower than everyone else. I can't exactly give you the best advice, because I don't know you well. But try and find the good things about yourself and be proud of them. Looks don't matter that much, what really matters is what you are inside. I found that when I had problems like this, I found a reason to motivate myself and I discovered I'm a much better person than I thought I was. If you want to talk, PM me? Kay? I'll listen. frogdude Posted at 11:43 am on Dec. 4, 2008 i fucking hate therapists an counsellors All 2 previous replies displayed.
