How do I boost my self-esteem/confidence?

Hi, im always struggling to stay positive and I just can’t seem to have much confidence in myself.

I dont know if anyone has ever seen that tv show Scrubs, but im kinda goin through what Elliot went through.

What are ways i can boost my self-esteem so that I can feel better about myself??

Its hard to look at the positive things about yourself and its so much easier to pinpoint the faults, but try to think of the good things you are able to do, maybe some things you could do that others can’t, that’s something you should be proud of. Or even finishing an essay when you felt like slacking off, thats another achievement you should be proud of. Try running 4 laps it helps you boost your energy

Whats the best way to build self confidence as and adult? Women Answers only!?

How can one gain confidence as an adult?….. when they have gone a life time without it. Not allow yourself to be a push over. Be tough & develop personality all at the same time. My moods are sometimes high and then low. Sometimes I get so sad I want to commit suicide. But I know I cant. If I had confidence and was tough. I’d be able to survive anything. Are their classes or exercises u can do to help build confidence………….I always fail because i have no confidence in myself, im full of self doubt………….I want to end this.

If you can’t afford a therapist, go to the book store, they have hundreds of self help books, I bet you can find one that is describing exactly how your feeling. However there are side effects: they have broadened my vocabulary, helped my memory, helped me focus, and helped me find intention and a purpose. u can too.

I have to say that dating may be the worst thing for you.

Focus on yourself, everything else is a distraction, and will take energy away from you and your healing.

In a month you’ll feel stronger in 6 months then in a year if you really commit, you will be a different person,.

Let me say… Tai Chi has been such a confidence builder for me it’s one of the best things I have ever given myself. Ask about the Taoist way if you decide to go!

Good Luck! May D 4′s B w/ U!

Is there a difference between ‘self confidence’ and ‘self esteem’?

And if so, what is it?

Self confidence is what you think about yourself, self esteem is the ideas have about yourself

Examples
self confidence- I can do this, or I can’t do this
self esteem- I’m so cool, or I’m a loser
