Battling a low self esteem
I wonder if any of you have overcome coping with a low self esteem. I have a really low self esteem. Even when people make compliments, I think they're just being nice to me. I never seem to be able to accomplish anything well. I can do things, but I can't do them really well.
I'm not an unhappy person. I'm actually a very optimistic person, too, but I also often get depressed. I never seem to be good enough. Even when I tell myself I actually CAN do something well, something happens that shows me differently. Somebody comes along that shows me I've done it all wrong. And when that doesn't happen, I'll just tell myself.
I'm wondering if anybody conquered his or her low self esteem succesfully and how.
