I never know how to ''love myself'' or even ''believe in myself'', because of having so many bad experiences with people. I can say ''I love myself'' 'til I'm blue in the face but it won't make my feelings change about myself. I just don't know where or how to start to love myself. It sounds so easily said.
definitely easier said then done. Those affirmations don't' always work.

suggestions on building self esteem include
take care of your body physically (as in eat healthy diet, do appropriate exercise etc)
do things you like to do
when people give you compliments, accept them. (i find it hard with this point i must say)
Write down your good points and look at the list regularly.
do some volunteer work of some kinds.
