Low self esteem is one of the biggest problem most people are suffering from today and many of them who are going through that are dying in silence.

What have been the cause of your low self esteem issues? Have you been working on getting better from it?
 
There was a time I felt stupid because I compared myself with other people on social media, which affected my self-esteemed. It made me feel so worthless to be of any use . But now I put effort in positive aspects, establish achievable objectives and indulge in being kind to myself

I don't like be around groups of people, but it has nothing to do with self esteem. I've always believed in myself, and been confident. I use to be shy when I was a kid.

I don't like being around groups of people (that I don't know either), but it doesn't have to do with self-esteem issues.

It has to do with trust issues. I don't know 1/2 the people, I'm not hanging around.

My trust issues is permanent now in my life. I'm not sure if that's ever going to change again because I've had my trust betrayed way too many times.

Social medSocial media can be toxic. I have reduced my time on social networks and begun writing personal diary to reflect on my achievements regardless the challenges in the task. I can’t even believe how big of a difference it has been for me..

A couple of times, I have felt that I can't do it, but I've got friends who stood by me and always pushed me to do more. I am happy that I have been doing better and feeling more confident lately on the things that I do.

If you have people who will always be there to motivate and encourage you to become a better person from whatever you are passing through in terms of your self-esteem, that is the only way it can be easier for you too break free and become better.

This is true. Having people around you who push and encourage you to do better is great and shows that level of commitment to the friendship that you have with them.

I didn't suffer from low self esteem but I was the shy type that won't talk to everybody until I have comfortable with you. I can never compare myself with anybody because I know who I am, having low self esteem causes more damage to the person.

Sometimes you don't have to be shy in other for you too not be free with talking to someone who is still like a stranger to you. It is when you are comfortable with people that you can be able to express yourself freely around them.
 
Definitely! I've had issues with it a lot of my life that come from being bullied when I was a young kid for having asthma and then being judged for my body build when I was a teenager.

Being bullied as a kid leaves a bad lasting impression on any one. I was fortunate to recover from my own experience in my early 20's.
 
Oh lord, yes! Most of my life, but especially my teens and younger twenties. I think maturing over the years helped me better equip my self-esteem. I don't put myself down like I used to consistently do and try and place the world on top of my shoulders. I take one day at a time and remember that it's not always about me.

There was a time I was struggling with low self-esteem. It was so tough, but I talked to my friends and family, and they helped me to see my worth. Ever since then, I've been working on building my confidence, and it's getting better everyday.

I think that when you live your life to impress others and get their approval, it knocks down your self esteem when they don't approve or ignore your efforts. It's why I don't look at anyone to nod for me in whatever I'm doing.

I can talk to anybody be it a stranger but the only thing I won't do with the person is to try to be free. I am always on official mood whenever I am talking to people I am not acquainted with.

I almost sank into one when my girlfriend left me with our daughter saying that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the baby again. I was broken but I'm happy to get better.
 
I grew up with complex issues and low self esteem. I grew up in a place where people always talked down on me. I was verbally abused for the majority of my growing up days. That really messed with my esteem and made me lose confidence. I had to start re-inventing my mind as an adult to get over that.

I knew and understand this feeling so well. You would have love to get everything right while growing up but people around you mess up with that.
So sorry for what you passed through, it's very hard to erase such memories but I hope you get over it.

I have gotten over it. It really hit me hard during college days. I had deep inferiority complex that made it very difficult to associate with people. I couldn't ever approach my lecturers to help me sort out issues I had with their courses. I had to start listening to self help tapes. They helped me boost my self confidence and self esteem.

That's a good one. I am glad that you are sharing your stories, it will help others that are going through it to know what to do.
Low self esteem or inferiority complex is never a good omen at all.
 
All the time.
Even now. I know my grades, achievements, medals.....but I still feel inferior...I don't even understand myself at this point
 
I have had some self doubt and low confidence here and there, but I have learned to stop thinking about the bad stuff and concentrate on what I can do and what I have already achieved.
