How can i feel better about myself?

How can I feel better about myself? Is it low self-esteem? How can I become less shy around people?

If I were you I would talk to more people and start conversations... You will make more friends and it will raise your self-esteem. And you will be less shy around people.

dude, I have the same issue! I can never really talk to people I dont know unless I've been around them everyday for like month and even then its hard to say hi. but dude if you want to talk to people then just start with something small like hi. I wish I could take my own advice!

I would advise by starting off at a slow pace. dont take it to fast, or you may possibly be even more shy.
I have to say that maybe you should hang around places that the people of your area hang out around. for instance; the teens in my city normaly hang out around the lake.
I would also advise accidentaly dropping your books in school(if your still in school) and see who helps you pick them up. when they do help you, say thankyou. something of that sort. You never know what a few simple words can do.

hope this helped!! Message me if you have any questions, I will be more than glad to help you the best I can.

I have the same problem and have a lot of 'people I know' but few actual friends!
I'm an introvert which doesn't help but I am trying to talk to people more but yeah it spooks me out.
I find it easier to talk to women probably due to my stepfather abusing me, I see men as threats but am trying to change
