News of Self Esteem

Hey Everyone,
My girlfriend is a perfectionist and will never give herself credit for what she does well. I am finding it hard to have seeming normal conversation with her about how she feels on situations. She has a very hard time explaining and showing her emotions to anyone not only me. I feel that all of these subjects are somehow intertwined. I think that because of her lack of confidence she often feels she ...

Yesteray a woman that has always been very friendly to me came up to me after church and asked, "Have you lost weight?" I said "no." She insisted that I have and asked if I have been ill. I said "no." She asked me again just to be sure that I wasn't hiding something. "Well, how did you get so skinny? Your shoulders...everything looks so skinny. You definitely have lost weight." I said that my ...

Because I was the smallest kid in school, I took the worst abuse anyone could imagine. Having thick glasses didn't help. I was the size of a 6 y/o at age 10. I had no athletic skill, I was good at reading, but of course, the other kids didn't care about that. My friends would be my friends one day, and then would turn on me the next. I would hide in the house for ...

Ok, there's a lot I need to say. To start with, I'm a 19 year old female, in college, very bored with my life and tired of monotony. I guess that's to be expected of anyone my age, since I feel like I've really only just begun to find myself.

Recently, though, I've noticed something that's bothering me. It's been going on for about a year, but it's only just now becoming something I can't ...

Hi I'm 16, and I'm really shy. I have no self-confidence, and was wondering if anyone has any advice. I used to be bullied, they would shout things at me, and call me names, other than that nothing really else happend. But in my case it was enough to lower my self-esteem, and it's only now that I've actually become interested in my self- image. I have friends, close friends, but none of them knows ...

Hi,
I just wanted some feedback, please! Today I was in university class and when it was my turn to read, I became so nervous (I have very little self-esteem) that I started to read in a different key! I'm so embarassed. I started reading with a really high voice and then answerd the professor in a really low voice. I know it sounds pathetic but I'm so worried that the entire class thinks I'm ...
