Hi

you need to work with the way you think + also changing your look could help if you're not happy with how you look now (new clothes, hairstyle, glasses, etc.)

It's a working progress I guess. I have days where I'm the most confident person and then I have days where I can't even walk with my head held high.

Very low.

When I was 14-15, I had really low self-esteem. I didn't like how pale my skin was, I had some pimples, and I wanted to look like Justin Bieber all the way so I'd buy anything he'd wear. Thank heavens in 2012, when I turned 16, things changed. I tanned really dark through the summer and my skin was immaculate. I had healthy self-esteem but my nose was still bothering me so at 19 I had a nose job and now I'm fine.

Qirls, if you're currently suffering from low self-esteem, get OFF ATRL asap. This place really is the bottom of the barrel and does not help you feel better about yourself in any way.

Mine is low, going up a little but still

Same and it has always been this way even when I was little. There's day when I feel a little more confident though like when I think my outfit looks good but it's always superficial. I have no idea on how to overcome it.

I used to have low self esteem but now, most days, I'm bordering on narcissistic. I lowkey need to knock myself down a few notches.

Self-love is a journey, I used to think I'd never be able to accept myself, let alone like myself. But now I love how I look and I love who I am. It takes time, but it'll happen.

I have very low self esteem but I'm getting Surgery on my Face the next 3 month, I'll be done by the first week of June

I think we all go through a phase where we're not comfortable with ourselves. But at the end of the day, each person is an individual. You have to work on yourself and eventually, you'll get to a point where you really appreciate yourself, your body, your personality.
Just, don't be afraid to spend time with yourself. I've come to find the time I spend alone to be very precious and meaningful. That's when you sort everything out. We can't like everything about ourselves but we can embrace it.

It's all over the place. Sometimes I feel like I'm serving looks and ******** on all the lessors at my university, but as far as giving my opinion and putting my creative mind out there, I have absolutely none unless it's something I'm really good at (i.e. graphic design). I'm confident in my abilities but I don't know how to fully utilize most of them. I'm definitely self-conscious in social situations.

literally with the OP. my self esteem is ****ing horrible, sometimes i dont even leave my house to hang with friends so i make up excuses because i get so paranoid and just sad about the way i look and feel. espically in relationships, its like my esteem gets worse

I used to have a very low self-esteem but it started to grow and I'm now at a better 'level'

It's amazing to see I'm not the only one suffering from this. It's quiet frustrating because i've allowed this to steer my life down a dark route, leaving university, ruining relationships and stalling in jobs ect... basically I'm in a position where I believe I am not worthy, I don't place worth upon myself and never believe in myself and what I can do. I cover up with humour and saying yes to everything and it's made me sad, subconsciously, if that makes sense?

Day-to-day I am pretty happy and get out there in the world, but what goes on in my mind is very different to how I present myself.

it's like a roller coaster for me

a few years ago I was at my lowest point. like I hated myself completely and hated looking in the mirror, but now I think I'm ****ing beautiful and no one can tell me different. I think getting on a solid skin care regimen helped a lot bc I have really nice skin I just wasn't taking care of it or my body like I should have been. I still have my days where I feel unattractive but they're few and far between nowadays
