Make yourself feel good. Make yourself feel pretty. Be proud of yourself and tell yourself positive things. Look into the mirror and love yourself everyday. Then you will slowly build confidence which will then boost your self esteem.

I don't think low self esteem can ever be completley cured. I used to suffer this way myself for years, then at the age of 19 made lots of new friends, moved out of my parents' house and became a really confident, outgoing person. Then at the age of 22, moved in with a man, who slowly took every ounce of self esteem away from me (eg: telling me I was fat, useless, etc) over a period of 4 years, and put right back to way I was. I've now been away from this person for over a year, and only now am I gaining back my self-assurance and confidence.
I am suffering low selfesteem because of my weight. i am glad you moved on with your life. i wish you the best by shaneat

Low self-esteem is a tough one to overcome if you aren't ready to let yourself by you. I spend a big part of my life with low self esteem because I was a foster kid and everyone teased me. But I came to realize that I am a good person, I don't hurt other people and I actually do things for other people so what they think of me is wrong not me and I am able to pat myself on the back. Do things that make you feel special because you are.
i will try,my weight gain has really done something to my confidence and i am struggling with it by shaneat
Another one I have over come. I was 60 pounds over weight and in one year I dropped it by not eating all that was in front of me. So you can do that to. :) by WealthyMann

This is a problem I've struggled with all my life. I have a mother who was always verbally abusive of me. She not only knocked everything I did, but she knocked me for traits I couldn't help. She made me feel like I was the worst person ever born, and she made me believe that no one would ever like me. Therefore, even though underneath I know I'm very bright and competent, mostly I feel inadequate. I try not to be around her much, because she still puts me down and tells me how awful I am.
i am so sorry to hear that,i hope that you will overcome your issue with your mother by shaneat

I think ultimately you have to make a decision for yourself. I have a mantra that helps me when I start feeling hopeless.
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
My mom always told me that people always like others who they can see are confident. No one wants to hang around someone who drags them down. If you can't love yourself than how can you expect others to. Always smile and feel good about yourself. There's always something to be glad about. There are people who are far worse off. Be content and you will find reasons to be content.
thank you for your answer, i will use some of those tips by shaneat

Well, learn from it... take it up for a challenge. See what happens if you do something different and it might just make a differences in your life and gosh, you would be so happy you did something about it. Really, have more confidence in yourself and believe in yourself. =)
