How do I build self esteem?
When I look in the mirror I am not at all happy with what I see. I’m not happy with my figure, face or hair. I don’t like my clothing style or personality. I want to like myself, how do I build my self esteem?
The only way is to see only positives. Not happy is a phrase that should not be in your dictionary. Your expectations are very high. In this particular case, I think you are well dressed, you are beautiful, have good hair and face. Start caring more on them and you will see even better results. See the lion, not the mouse.
Don’t worry about the end, maintain the means.

I was pretty much right there with you, but there’s nothing I can do about it so I stopped caring and it feels great. Not trying to sound negative at all.

External appearance has nothing to do with self-esteem. You must have satisfaction that your life is worth living and you must be sure that others think highly of you.

This has been answered a million times before here, really..
you could start by making your diet more healthy, and doing cardio, ie: join some exercise classes, lose some weight/ tone up..
The endorphin release will perk you up too.
Your stuck with the personality though, just be yourself, if people dont like you screw them, life is too short to be worrying about who does and doesnt like you.
Find people that do and cherish them

"Self esteem" is a bit of a misleading concept. This makes it sounds like a substance that a person has in some quantity and if you don’t have enough, you need more.
How you feel about yourself depends on how you experience yourself as you go about living. This is typically reflected in our relationships and what we are doing. Right now your main relationship seems to be with yourself and you don’t particularly get good feedback there. Your main activity seems to be looking into mirrors – not a good idea for most people, except to adjust your clothing, etc.
If you want to feel better about yourself, you need to earn some "self respect". You get this from being in relationships with people who respect you and also from doing things that earn your own respect.
Think of someone you admire – not for how they look but for what they do. Sports, music, dance, volunteering,whatever. Then try doing that yourself. No one has "self esteem" unless they have self respect.

i hope you see this and read it…i know i am answrring a dday later.
i had this same problem, it is very common to go through it is part of growing up. i am 21, and it hits people at all different times.
what helped me, was meeting new people. it sounds strange, but it works. when you hang around different groups of people you take little bits and pieces and discover what you like and dislike and understnad better who you are. in addition you learn that if you are a nice person and comliment eople some will return the favor. this helps build confidence. people will point out the good things in you you have just been overlooking. it is great. they dont have to become your best friends, but the more people you meet and know, the better understnad you will have of yourself, and in time, confidence and esteem. trust me it works, i believe in you!

yeah just stop caring about what other people think of you. chances have it that they are more concerned about what others think of them to care about how you look.
