I have very low self esteem. Since my childhood this has been an issue for me. Now I'm in my twenties and feel I have made many mistakes in my life and that because of them other people will judge me. Is it normal to feel this way for an adult?
Girl you need to feel awesome about my self!! you do not care what other people think you are you and you are fabulous it may be hard to forget you childhood but it is today not tomorrow not yesterday it is today and you need to believe in yourself!
Love ya
Gavin <3,
The essence of being an adult is having experience. And experience is that thing you get when you don't get what you want i.e. fail or make mistakes.
The biggest mistakes of my own life were a huge deal until I shared them with someone. Seconds later after sharing I stood stunned because I realized that they were merely big in my mind. The person didn't judge cause they had their own baggage, like everyone does.
Find someone you can trust and confide in, and tell them your mistakes. It will build your self-esteem, slowly but surely. If you don't have someone or don't want to share with someone you know, try someone anonymous. Blahtherapy is a site that facilitates such sharing. My window is always open too, if you so wish.
Thanks. I didn't know about Blahtherapy. I'm checking it out right now. The experience I got from making mistakes is very important of course. I should remember that more often. I talk to my boyfriend and he doesn't think my mistakes are that bad. That sometimes helps but other times I still have really low self esteem.
I'm not sure why. It could be that I just got my period or that I just fought with someone I love, but your comment made me teary.. OP, I hope you sort out your self esteem issue. I dont know what to say, RawSodium said some good things. People judge but its the ones you care about and care for you that matter, and they probably dont judge you badly.
