In reply to self esteem, how to get it?, posted by Happyflower on April 21, 2008, at 19:52:57
I also think part of it is recognizing when you are doing things that harm your self-esteem. Like do you do a lot of negative self-talk? Like tell yourself, "I'm so stupid" etc.? You can work on this in therapy. Cognitive Behavioral approaches are good with that sort of thing. Or do you hang out with people who put you down? Again, a good topic for therapy.
It's a struggle, no doubt. I'm struggling along with ya!
Best,
EE
