I have very low self esteem

Post Reply New Topic

All people have a better life than me (only a few exceptions). This is why i have low self esteem. So im hiding in my comfort zone. i dont have any life experience

You can't measure self esteem

Maybe everyone else just has too much self esteem

Entitled arrogant manipulative judgmental lil dips**ts

what other people experience is hard to ascertain
what other people experience is also irrelevant
we are not in a competition
there are no awards or medals at the end of life for who has the most or who has had the best life
a fair amount of happiness is self created
if you can learn how to make yourself happy
then you have a good chance of having some happiness in your life

if i were you i would write down a list of what things make you happy or at least what things in life
you enjoy

and then go from there
try and find ways to include these things in your life and you will likely be more happy

happiness is often relative
i think learning to be happy is a skill that we all can learn
if you can learn to be happy with simple things in life then you will have more happiness in your life than most

if you feel you have low self esteem
consider learning Metabhavna meditation or in english cultivating loving kindness meditation
this type of meditation helps us not only cultivate good feelings about ourselves
but about other people in the world
so as to help us heal any emotional problems we have caused by destructive emotions

i also think you should write a list of things that you are good at and any accomplishments
you have achieved over your life, even if they are small

do not worry about comparing them to others
just learn to appreciate your own life and journey

as after all, we can only live our own life no one else's
so what is the point at competing
we only need to challenge ourselves and learn to make ourselves happy

hope you feel better soon
