self esteem?

How exactly do you increase your level of self esteem because I feel like I have absolutely no confidence in myself.

...

Sometimes I get a false sense of confidence because of some kind of fantasy or false security I'm holding to but when I face reality I'm right back to where I was before.

My bad! I'm sorry I thought that you did before.

I perfectly understand what you mean. That´s exactly what has been happening to me during school, Secondary Education, University and job as a teacher. I have been following different therapies and all my problems have a only name LOW SELF-STEEM. I´m working on this now, with a therapy I trust in. It´s very important to trust in your psychoterapist and fight day after day.
Fight day after day, I suppose this is the same everybody say to you all the time.
I´m now reading a book called (from self-steem to seldfish). Sorry, bu is a book in Spanish, but I know translate it in different languages. The author is Jorge Bucay (an Argetian spychologist). I am only at the beggining of the book. If I can tell you more, I´ll do it.
