    I dont understand your question. Are your self esteem issues physical, or behavioral/ personality…

    Taking jokes too seriously has nothing to do with your self-esteem…it just might mean your a serious person.

    making mistakes is all part of life, and so is mess. you have to keep telling yourself that you are a good person and try not to look at all your faults as bad.

    self esteem , confidence, the way we value ourselves is how we are treated by others in this world if you are willing to be more pro active in life and do more sports activitys and join some form of social clubs that will help you to be more versatile with different types of people and will improve self esteem.

    Anything is possible ;) good luck my friend

    if you don’t think you’re fabulous, no one will. just say "i’m samantha and i’m fabulous" every day to yourself and make sure you believe it.

    Samantha,

    Work on getting your self talk, your thoughts about your
    self, more positive. I had a friend who had the same problem.
    I think a lot of people feel this.

    The best thing that ever helped her was a book that said
    positive things to her and about her. It is a very different
    kind of book call Powerfirmations. It says very positive
    things to you and has your name in the positive statements
    (affirmations).

    Hello Samantha,

    Maybe there’s something that you’ve gone through in the past that makes you feel this way: maybe your parents divorced or you’ve gone through some hard times. This could be one explanation why you take things too seriously.

    You have to find out what is triggering this state. You might even have the answers inside of you, you just don’t know it yet.

    For improving your self esteem here are some tips:

    1. Talk to yourself differently than you do now. The way you talk to yourself determines your level of self esteem. Talk to yourself in a positive way. Just like nickname said earlier: say "i’m samantha and i’m fabulous".

    Repeat the following 5 phrases each morning:
    "I am a great person. I am improving every second. I feel good. I am confident. I am a very special person." Repeat this at least 10 times. Say it on your way to school or work. If you have patience and persevere, and repeat this for at least 30 days, you will be more confident.

    2. To gain self confidence you must first give self confidence. Help others, by saying good things about them. Don’t lie, just look at someone as compliment him/her about the things you really admire and like. This way you will make new friends that will help you as well.

    Also, from today and on, start every day asking yourself this: "who can I help today?" and start looking for people to help! I’m serious. This will help you a lot more than you think. When you help others you will be helped. The energy that you give to others will come back to you with a much greater force and your self esteem will go up.

    I suggest that you also talk to other people about this, maybe some close friends, your parents might also help and if this seems too hard then start by talking to people on forums like these ones: http://stevepavlina.com/forums/ or http://www.uncommonforum.com/

    There are people there that feel just like you and maybe you could help each other. There also are wonderful people there that really want to help others and they will help you.

    I hope this helps you. And as a last tip: Believe in yourself! You are a special person and you already have the power to improve your self confidence. You just have to search for that power. Start by helping others.

    The past is gone. The future is far away. The present is a gift. Open it and enjoy it now!

    Razvan

    first you need to change the way you look at situations, its not really difficult to boost your self esteem, you are lower to noone else and are equally good.
    I dont know if you believe this or even try this, but it has worked out for me and many others also, this is funny , my apologies, but its absolutely true….
    I think when you write you cross your small letter ‘t’ bars very low, this indicates a low self esteem, just try this, cross your ‘t’ bars right at the top touching the stem without increasing the stem size, and you should be observing changes in about a month, its true, it happened to me
