How can one honestly improve her self-esteem?!


Question: How can one honestly improve her self-esteem.?
I find myself all too often thinking I've finally started to like myself a bit more and then out of the blue someone will make a comment, for example, someone said he couldn't see us being friends and that I seemed rigid. Fine, but why was it necessary to let me know this. This was in a therapy group mind you. It throws me though a loop. The only opinion that really matter is my own. Why is it so hard to put into practice on a daily basis.? Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The thing I always find that helps me to feel better as myself is to volunteer at women's shelters and food pantries. I get a good sense of satisfaction helping others. The people at these places are so appreciative of what you are doing for them. It's so hard for me to feel bad when these folks have it so bad. Doing things for others does it for me. I don't worry about it if somone likes me or not anymore. I figure that theyr'e missing out on a great person. Their loss....SHealth Question & Answer

Don't beat your self up over how someone feels about you,most of the time when they say something mean or nasty its there own insecurities coming out because they feel bad about themselves and want to make everyone around them feel the same.some people are just plain angry and mean & are never happy with anything. A good start to help improve your own self-esteem is to love yourself,and praise yourself on your best qualities & talents.You can also try a new hairstyle,new make up ,and clothes whatever makes you feel better.Health Question & Answer

Hi,

To improve your self esteem you really need to know yourself better. Its the foundation of your self esteem. You give yourself value by knowing yourself. Most of us think we know ourselves but not really ..
A great tool to know yourself better is having a handwriting analysis done. I did it and its amazing..it tells you who you are...the real you.

Wow, I really feel for you. I grew up moving so much that no one ever liked me. I always had a few kids to talk to and they were the lowest of the low. I'm 27 and still trying to figure out why I cannot make a friend. I know I'm a nice person and I'm very loyal. It bugs me, but I do like myself. I love animals and might die someday saving a wild animal. I just have to remember that what other people think isn't important. At the end of the day I want to be proud of me and able to live with the choices I've made. I saved a Garr from dying in a puddle drying up on the side of the river and no one with me not even my boyfriend of 3 years wanted to help. All of the fisherman thought I was nuts. I'm also a small female. I got this mean, ugly and very heavy fish to the water and it turned around and looked back at me as to say thank you. I will never forget that. I am happy about what I did and if they all think I'm stupid and wasting my time I'm ok with that. I would do it again. I'm just sad that I couldn't have saved more that day.Health Question & Answer
