I don't get it, how can someone have low self esteem?
Do they just not like themselves.....is it a matter of not feeling likes or appreciated for who you are? Help me out people, I just don't understand
People with low self-esteem feel worthless.
It stems from everyday life, whether they are appreciated or not.
If someone makes you feel special and wanted your self-esteem will obviously be much higher.
It goes up and down really, you ave to find a perfect balance, because too much of it can be just as bad

Probably stems from band memories in which they feel belittled. Usually low self esteem is attributed to actually caring what others think of you, which is usually a bad idea. If you make yourself and those who are close to you happy then you have succeeded and shouldn't care what strangers think of you.
some self-esteem is from depression some is from what like backfire said about being put down alot while growing up some people have low self esteem people becuase they were never taught how to sitck up for themselves so when there being put down they dont know what to do
i'm at a stage in my life righ now, i really really like what i have become. i could be better, a whole lot, but rght now i'm satisfied with my life. it's not perfect but i wouldn't wanna be anyone else. i did come through that "what people think" phase and i just grew out of it. right now, it's f*ck everbody else, it's all about me. i have a good job, a decent car, a loving family and good friends. low self esteem is the product of trying to please people, which would never happen. just keep telling yourself it's all about you...
I suffer from real low self asteem it's mainly because I was bullied all of my childhood till I was about 16 and after being told your worthless for most of your life you start to beleive it, Luckily Im on the path to recovery now....Or so I hope..but I still find it really hard to go out among people I don't know as I feel they are all judging me and thinking horrible things about me.. no matter how many times I tell myself they probly don't even notice me ect.. It's a mental thing I just can't shake for now..
Its never an instant transformation. It took me about 8 years before I really got the hang of not giving a damn about what other people think of me, but I got there and you can too!
My low self esteem came from my mother, she always makes you feel like you can't do anything. And after 7 of us, she got pretty damn good at making us depend only on her. Sometimes out of nowhere I just get the feeling that I'm useless and can't do anything, but I'm trying to break out of that..

maybe i have some social anxieties, but i honestly think i have relatively high self esteem...its gotten to the point where i can speak in front of complete strangers an have no problem with it. if im dedicated to something, it doesnt matter what others think of me...
as for low self-esteem, that part shows when i think of what i should be doing, like when i get bad grades or somethin, cuz i feel stupid and i know that im tryin hard, an for some reason, my tryin hard jus isnt good enough sometimes....

Hi, my name is G.P and I have low self esteem, for whatever I do I always think afterwards that I haven't done the right thing, or that I should have done better. Eventually, I end up thinking I'm a really stupid person (I generally use harsher words) , 'cos I always screw everything up, especially when it comes to things that are very important to me.
But no, I'm not depressed.
