How do you feel about yourself?

I feel I am fat and that this jar if Nutella is not helping it.
I also get depressed to quick and am to quick to decided that one mistake (like a failed test) will doom my whole future. I'm to shy. Was talking to a guy the other day and blushed everytime he looked at me.

 

I have really high esteem and think of myself really highly (I think I am a bit of an egotist to be honest haha) but not in the narssachistic way. I just really like myself and the way I am. I have no idea where this stems from. But it isn't like I haven't had periods of low self esteem and I understand what you are feeling.
The mindset I take is an open mindset as opposed to a closed one (Google these terms oa you want more details) meaning that if I fail (which I have done recently) I use the frustration and regret to become even stronger if that makes sense. I just don't sit around waiting for things to happen but rather make things happen myself.
But Good luck I am sure life will get better for you!(!)

 

Well, I feel like I'm a lot more content with my appearence, sexuality, and life in general than I was 5 years ago. I'm not really sure how much that really says though :lol:

 

that im probly crazy...yet strong, too kind hearted...not typical girl or lesbian..dude in a girl body yet with the ability to see both worlds equally i just pick the simplicity of dudes with the deepness emotionally of chicks...ummm not really that attractive rather ugly but my loyalty and strange sorta humor make me one of a kind...could do away with the little pug...wish sumtimes i was normal so i can find a girlfriend and live a normal life...idk why i have to be built so complex.. also i think im a very very old soul and my body/this life conflict with it as in i should be wise enough to control my anger but i still loose it every time..yea...probly crazy..haha

 

I have a headache right now so I feel crappy

 

I have a really deep hatred for myself.

 

I really like myself and think I'm awesome, but at the same time I think I'm hopeless and can never improve myself. It's complicated.

 

I think I'm a parasitic cancer to the world, and that's all I'll say.

 

I feel the same about myself to be honest. I too am unemployed, can't seem to hold a job for very long and it makes me feel useless. Having depression on top of it does not make it any easier. I know how it feels to hate on yourself.

 

I've been through this whole "who am I really?" thing like twice, and a third time now (because I really need it for my university application) and literally, I cannot think of a single strength that I have. I'm getting really frustrated with myself, but it feels crazy unnatural weird to talk good stuff about myself.

 

If this is you in the profile picture, I think that you look great and cute! Don't let yourself down by your appearence... plus you are pretty so why worry?

 

Oh, I suck so bad, but I'm also really gay, so I just let the gay block out the bad

 

I wish I could believe in myself more

 

ugghh... xD I'm a mess, honestly. I can't even talk to people most days, because the doubt is like a physical muffle. I'm recovering now from some shit times.

But here's a big block of cheese: We'll all get there. (&&&) It can take a lot of effort to love yourself. You have to fill your mind with positive messages and surround yourself with people and things you love. I find do best when I pursue my interests and hobbies every day, because there's a hella lotta work you have to do that you don't like-- have something to look forward to at the end of the day.

 

Usually I feel okay, but for the last month I've been really down and so I've been really down on myself. About 8 or 9 years ago when I was really working towards transition and my body was changing and I was discovering new things about the world I was really feeling good about who I was. I was really liking myself in the mirror. Then after that plateaued, I was just fine. But lately a lot of negative thoughts I thought I'd grown out of have returned and it's hard to stay buoyant.

 

I used to hate myself back when I was depressed a few years ago. But nowadays I love myself. I am awesome.

 

My opinion of myself fluctuates often. On some days, I love who I am, physically and not. I'm proud of my intelligence, my Mexican heritage, my youthful appearance. Other days I see the negatives: I'm intelligent, but so many people have done much more than myself at this age; life would be easier if I were not Mexican; on top of that, I'm too thin, my sexuality is too ambiguous, and I may always be alone.

Problem is I can't control which will win out on a given day (the positive or negative), but thankfully the majority of the time it's the positive. The more I see the positive the more I think I will be able to improve myself.

 

I have 0 self confidence and self love for myself. I hate everything about me.

 

I love everything about me. The things I would've changed when I was younger are also the things that make me unique. So I learned to love the things about me that I hated and now I love them
