Has to be specific Breh. When I left college, I went from being super confident to feeling worthless because I was broke, with no job and living in a shytty apartment.

Once I got my paper up, I felt like Superman being rejuvenated by the sun.

Easy answer: started doing what I wanted. I only had insecurities when I wasnt getting friends or girls or even academic success that I wanted. Eventually I got tired and started doing what I wanted even if I sucked. Insecurity of all types vanished immediately because I wasnt trying to impress anyone or achieve things I didnt even care about.

Buy in on yourself.

Its your own life breh. Why can't you be the man? Who says you can't be that nikka? You got too many flaws? Good you're an underdog

You need to approach life like you're an RPG character avatar. Grind your stats, increase your exp in multiple areas and be proud of the progress you make. When you make goals and achieve them nobody can take that shyt away from you bruh. Feed off that.

Its rare for someone to believe in you more than yourself. Buy in on yourself and set the floor

Petty Vandross.. fukk Yall
I don’t think anybody ever truly conquers low self esteem
I feel self esteem is just like life
Ebb and Flows
Generally speaking, everybody has those periods of great confidence
Wins and great times
But we also have times where we remember fukk shyt that was done to us by friends, coworkers and loved ones
You truly never get over your demons but you learn to live with them and deal with them in accordance
Sure I have a therapist and a great little family but I still have days where I talk bad to myself on mistakes I’ve made or decisions I didn’t think out thoroughly
But the caveat is I don’t dwell on them
I just :yeshrug:and continue on with my day
Talk to my wife about them or my sister
Get a perspective different from mines
Write it out in my journal
And leave it behind when I go to bed
That’s all you can do, just keep pushing
It’s okay to acknowledge the feelings of defeat
You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t
Don’t dwell, Don’t dwell. Don’t dwell
Be active in mind, body and spirit
Understand that you can’t get complacent
Enjoy the little blessings you have each day
Understand setbacks are inevitable
Understand none of this shyt means anything outside the people that are truly loved in your circle
And if you don’t have any, try your damnest to be the person you love the most
That’s the thin line between depression and just a bad day
Depression is chemical induced in your brain and can take years to battle
A bad day is just small things that where inconvinces
This is coming from somebody that has never had great self esteem but I worked at it
Read books
Talked to OGs
Then finally stopped living in my head and seeing what life really is
Frowns and smiles:wow:

Why do you have low self esteem?

Exactly. This is the right answer even though you were asking a question.

To beat low self esteem a person should probably face whatever gave them that low self esteem and try to defeat it. Taking drugs or alcohol or whatever just covers up the problem and creates a second problem that a person will also have to be deal with. Whatever the matter is at the heart of self esteem issues should just be faced and dealt with.
