How do you grasps higher self confidence?

Hey everyone. I’m in high school, and for the ones that have been there or are in it now, you know how challenging it can be. It seems to take an emotional and physical toll on you(all the finals, exams and midterms). Well that’s only half of my problem. I have a major low self esteem issue. Well I wouldnt say it’s major, but it isn’t up to par compared to everyone else’s. I feel low and insecure about the most littlest of things. I try to not let people’s words bother me; but somehow the words they say can’t somehow escape my subconscious. I mean, I dont think there is anything wrong with me. I think I’m acceptable in my own way. But it’s just actually feeling it. I try to brush off my insecurities an ignore stupidity, but it’s very difficult. Can someone just please help me? because it’s taking a toll on me.:(

Answer #1

Well I have been outa high school for 4 or 5 years now, so the the rough edges have had time to be worn off for me. But I did have some self-esteem issues in school (and still do). I was the social awkward fat kind everyone picked on, and went to the same school k-8 where everyone remember ever screw-up you have ever made. So high school was a fresh start and actually better for me than grade school. But I still had almost no self confidence.

Unfortunately, I don’t really remember when in High school I stopped caring about what everyone thought about me so much. I mean I still did, but as I got older it slowly dissipated. I still care some of what people think of me, I’m not one of those loud outgoing people (like my roommate :P ).

I know that really isn’t any help as to how to work on your self confidence, it just kinda happened to me. Little things, like getting the girl I liked to go to prom with me, helped boost my confidence. But over all it slowly happened to the point where most of the time I just didn’t care what people around me thought.

Answer #2

Hey girl, I would have to say that you shouldn’t let people get to you like that. Everyone is beautiful in there own way. I know its easier said than done, but you really need to keep an open and clear mind. High school is fun, but it also sucks. You need to take at least 30 mins out of the day, to do your hair and makeup. Wear things that YOU think are cute, and just be yourself. No one matter except you. Keep in mind, that you are beautiful, and just set goals for yourself. Try taking some yoga, it really relaxes you, and you really start to feel better about yourself. :]
