Raise your self-esteem
Do you like what you see when you look in the mirror? Do you consider yourself a special and important person or you believe that others are better than you? I have a friend who was a very sociable, coquette, and happy girl. In terms of months she began increasing her weight, and developing an obese appearance. She started acting in a very strange way. She stopped going to sociable activities; she ended up with her boyfriend. She also began to spend most of her time locked in her room. All these were because she was facing a severe stage of low self-esteem caused by her physical appearance. Self-esteem covers all what are thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. The self-esteem of a person is reflected in his or her behaviors. Self- esteem is built in a long time period of life experiences regarding the aspects of triumphs, despairs, pride, and shame. Concerning this topic it is very important for every one of us to know about the attitudes of a low self-esteem person, the attitudes of a high self-esteem person, and the ways to raise our self-esteem.
A person with low self-esteem can be identified by his or her attitudes. Low self-esteem comes from a poor way of seeing yourself. A low self-esteem person has a bad opinion about him or herself. He or she seems his or herself as an incapable and valueless person. They constantly have the mind that they cannot do anything because they do not good for anything. They see themselves as garbage for this world. A low self-esteem person tries to avoid activities, and become an isolate person. They daily seem sad and with an insecure appearance. Low self-esteem people usually have the same expressions toward themselves such as: “For what I came to this world”, “I am stupid”, “What am I doing here”? “I am a good for nothing”, “I am ugly; that’s why nobody likes me.” They think they have less value than others. Those are some attitudes and thoughts that low self-esteem people develop.
A person with high self-esteem can be identified by his or her attitudes. High self-esteem comes from a good way of seeing yourself. People with high self-esteem leave shyness away. They are people very optimistic, bold, and sociable. They enjoy attend activities such as parties and concerts. A person with high self-esteem loves to go out with his or her friends, and be the center of attraction. Those persons have in mind that they are special and valuable persons. They struggle to achieve their goals; and they do not become in isolation no matter what happens. High self-esteem people usually refer to themselves with nice expressions such as: “I am very intelligent”, “I made a good job today”, “I am a good looking person”, “I am proud of my actions.” They tend to have a good perspective of themselves. Definitely, having a high self-esteem is one hundred percent better and healthier for you and for those who are around you.
Furthermore, they are ways to arise your self-esteem. We live in a negative society, and unfortunately we have to deal with those negative people. Society are the mainly responsible of making people suffer from low self-esteem, so is better to do not take with much importance the bad reviews or to allow others make fun of you. Also you do not have to try being like someone else. Begin to engage in lively and sociable activities. Be a positive person with positive thoughts and position expressions. Focus on your successes, needs, and desires. Try to the best in everything you do. Avoid seeing life so seriously. Enjoy every second of your life. People are the ones who put their own barriers in their lives. With these advices you will probably escape from any kind of self-esteem problems.
People do not have to pay so much attention to the external; they must focus themselves in what they have inside. A good self-esteem is the key to a joyful and successful life. So it’s time to start raising it. You are very special and valuable for me and for this world. Build up your self-esteem!
“The golden opportunity you are seeking is in yourself. It is not in your environment, it is not in luck or chance, or help of others; it is in yourself alone.”
