How do I help myself get over low self esteem and low self worth?

It takes a little bit of change at a time. I've had major issues with this in the past, and I still have issues with it sometimes. I mean, I still let people walk all over me, but I'm not having as hard of a problem with my self-esteem. What it comes down to is, well, changing the way you think about yourself. Think of at least one good thing about yourself daily. Keep a list. Try not to repeat the same thing over and over again. Realize that sometimes you have to put yourself first. One thing that really helped me was going to the gym, as weird as that may sound. I've had weight issues, and even though I haven't really lost weight, I feel good about myself. I'm keeping myself healthy, and working out feels good. But that's just me. I'm not a psychiatrist or anything, so I'm not really the best person for advice. But find an activity that makes you feel good about yourself, and do that.

Well, we can't change how other people treat us, and while it is true that we can only change ourselves, but the fact still remains...some people really don't need to change, but the way the are treated does. I feel I have a healthy self esteem and I like me, and I like the way I am and if other people don't like that than phooey on them.

I have the same problem, my self esteem is due to being hurt so much in the past, I think even small things that people do to you not realizing the affect they have. How to get over the low self esteem is not easy sometimes it takes someone special to come along and lift you up and give you the confidence that you need about yourself...

Hi there mark98!!! Learn to love yourself first.Thats the best thing to do a of now.Do not rely on other people for love.You can only see the beautiful side of yourself when you finally learn to give importance to the good things that you can do.Try to accept your weaknesses and try to improve your strengths.Do not let your weaknesses put you down or let others use it to ruin your life. You are the only person who can solve your problem as of now.Open your eyes and accept yourself for who you are.Never blame anyone for the problems that is coming your life.Try to be more positive and try to reach out more often to other people.

I have that feelings also. Maybe the way of upbringing causes this. Our parents told us do that, do this, dont do that, dont do this, respect others, dont get in trouble, etc. I always think how others may look at me, respond at me, mingle at me, etc. before i will express my opinions, feelings, emotions, even myself. whoa, its weird right? Sometimes i just wanted to explode. So by now,Im trying to think first myself, that will benefits me to gain more self respect. Because Its only a mind setting and i believe its not too late to reset my mind for that.
