Self-Esteem:

I can really relate to this because I struggled with self-esteem for a while. So how did I get over it? One thing that really helped was personal hobbies like drawing, painting, being outside, and talking to friends. My hobbies are not the same as everyone else, but everybody has at least a few interests in life. Another thing that helps me is not isolating myself. When your self-esteem is low, you tend to want to be alone all the time. Isolation is one of the worst things for trying to up-build yourself, because all it does is make you comfortable being alone and you'll never want to be around other people. One last thing is; talk to your parents or a trusted friend about your low self-esteem. There is no use in hiding it from those who care about you, that will just only make everything worse. So to improve your self-esteem:

  1. Cherish your personal interests/hobbies
  2. Don't isolate yourself from friends and family
  3. Lastly, don't hesitate to reach out to a parent, guidance counselor, trusted friend, etc...

I hope that helped you, it took a while to write!

these are the ways u can improve self esteem
Gain Control of Yourself: Do not be critical of yourself to others. Whilst it can be useful to confide your concerns to someone you trust, telling the world is something else. Be kind to yourself. Make a list of your good qualities and believe them, believe in yourself. Don't Be A Complainer: Everyone has problems, so why should yours be greater than others? By being negative you can isolate yourself from others and cut yourself off from solutions to problems.Learn to Relax: Allow time for yourself each day. This may only be a few minutes, but it is important to be quiet and to unwind. See our section on Relaxation Techniques for some ideas.Boost Your Own Morale: Allow yourself a treat from time to time, especially if you have overcome a hurdle in personal presentation, particularly after your first formal talk or after a successful meeting. It does not have to be expensive - a cup of coffee at a pleasant place, or some other treat.Congratulate Yourself on a job/task well done and perhaps tell a friend. Do not always be the one to give out praise, you need some too. Justified praise is a good boost to morale.Learn to Channel Nerves and Tension Positively: when you are nervous, adrenalin is pumped through the body and you feel more keyed up and alert. This extra energy can be used to good effect; enabling you to communicate with greater enthusiasm and intensity, for example.Learn to be Assertive: Stand up for what you believe in and do not be pressured by others. See our section on Assertiveness for lots more information about becoming more assertive.
