• Overcoming low self-esteem is a process of
  learning and understanding how to get rid of a
  painful habit, a self inflicted misery of low
  self esteem. Dealing with this may vary from
  person to person for this depends largely on the
  reason and cause of such negative state of mind.
  For some it may take just a few months and an
  ample amount of effort, but for others, it may
  take years and perhaps everything they have to
  mend everything and breakaway from low self
  esteem.

• I used to feel that people had hidden intentions
  whenever they tell me Im pretty. I used to think
  that they only said those things so that they
  could use me or because they pitied me or just
  because they were just being kind. I was
  struggling from low self esteem and severe
  anxiety. I was always distrustful and suspicious
  thats why I detached myself from everyone else.

• I was never comfortable with my own skin. I was
  too thin and too awkward, I was far too different
  from the person I wanted to be. I always dreamed
  to be like those confident and beautiful girls I
  knew, but it just didnt work because I was
  different and they didnt have a hideous past to
  hide unlike me. And so I barricaded myself with a
  thick wall of self-loathing and low self esteem.

• I always saw myself as a distorted and disgusting
  human being because of what happened to me
  before. I was just 8 years old when I became my
  step-fathers victim of sexual abuse. He violated
  me numerous times and I never told anyone about
  it because I was afraid hed hurt my mom and my
  siblings.
• I was so mad at myself for being so weak and
  defenseless. I learned to obliterate myself for
  being a victim of this. I believed that it didnt
  matter what I do to myself, because nobody cared
  about me anyway, not even the man I saw as my
  father.

• The things that had happened to me were terrible
  but its over now. I can now see myself in a way
  David sees me. I have seen the beautiful person
  in me that I have locked in for so long. I am a
  strong and beautiful person. I believe we all
  are. Dont let your past define who you will be
  tomorrow for the future is yet to come. Give
  yourself time to mend all those heartaches and
  you will see that you are made to be so much more
  than you think you are. Overcoming low self
  esteem does not let you forget and hide your
  past, but instead it heals you in such a
  beautiful way that you can no longer find a
  reason to hide.
