Therapy.

1. Stop worrying about what other ppl think

2. Take time to find your own passions

3. Actualize those passions!!

4. Avoid negative ppl like the plague

5. Don't engage in negative behavior (if you're wasting time gossiping about others, then your happiness is false as it's based on the debasement of others)

6. Make short & long term goals. As you accomplish the short term, you'll begin to feel better about yourself and your esteem will rise.

7. Treat yourself, don't wait for someone else to notice that you deserve something

8. Change things you don't like about yourself

9. Don't fear change - change is always good


I used to have horrible self esteem as a child, and I literally had to reinvent myself to become a stronger person as people know me today. I got bullied quite a bit until I started HS bc I was very shy and for some stupid reason, people mistook my shyness for being conceited. And thanks to vocal ppl in my school, I pretty much thought I was one of the ugliest things walking. One of the best things I ever did was going out of state for college & distancing myself from all the negativity of the ppl I went to school with (as many of them I'd known since elementary). It gave me a chance to meet new people, start fresh and also discover more about who I was as an adult rather than the image of myself that others projected to me as a child.
