Low Self Esteem

[_sunshinegirl]

Does anyone here suffer from low self esteem?
Does it effect your current relantionships?
If so would you like to create a sort of buddy system with me, so we can encourage each other in christ?
I have suffered with extremely low self esteem for years, but I am just now reaping the 'true' effects of my years of doubting my self worth. I find myself now in a place where I do not believe I am worthy of any effections, so I have completly drawn myself away from anyone, and I am making it near impossible for my boyfriend to even like me (let alone love me).

You know what? It's when we care the least about our selves, that God shows his care the most, the trouble is, it is very trying on other people. I know how it feels, so many times people tell me that they care about me, but I can not believe it. but, God is the way out, we are told that we should build each other up, not help to tear them down, and there's one thing to think about when you have a low self-esteem (I don't mean 2 be hypicritical as this is something i can not do because it hurts too much to handle!), that we are made in God's image, we all have many little traits of God in us, and God is not even good or great, you know? He is PERFECT!!! no one can take this away from us, but when we are low and need building up, we should look to him for comfort and for reconsiliation of ourselves!
I hope this has helped, feel free to PM me when you need to, you are great and loved by many, especially God!!!
God bless
xXx

^^ thank you dear, it has helped. that is the one thing that keeps me going (no matter what I think of myself) is that God values me (and believes I am beautiful).

i guess its just freaky because i always knew i had it, supposedly was treated for it (years ago), but now its so 'in front of me'

i am going to try to let go of my expectations of myself, since i see myself through the expectations i put in others eyes, and begin to let go of my past (and those males who've done me wrong) and try to break the cycle of me hurting myself, because of them

Been there too dear one. Heck I am single today because of that. But God has blessed you with a man who loves you just as God has blessed me with singleness!!! God Bless!!!

I just had a long response written and accidently hit the tab key and now it's gone! Too depressed today to attempt to rewrite it. But I do understand.

What does God say about you? That is the truth!!!! Will He sit in judgement and says "well , you could have done better but I guess I have to let you in, you can come to heaven. Here's your little shack?" NO WAY!!!!!! God will wrap you in His arms and say "Welcome my beloved daughter" while the angels dance and sing!!!

Please pratice fighting these thoughts with God's truth when you recognize them. I am the beloved daughter of God!!! I am a Princess! Child of the KING! If God thinks you are worth dying for, then start learning to let only God be the one who decides if you are loveable!!! I pray for God to "renew my mind" and "take my thoughts captive" when I don't have the strength to fight my thoughts myself. God is anxious to help you learn just how precious and treasured you really are!!!! Sounds easy to talk about but it takes time and pratice to "reprogram" your mind to the truth! I'm still working on it and some days are beter than others. But it is getting better and working.

GRACE!!! I bet you have lots of grace for others...now work on having grace for yourself! I will join you as we fight this battle together!!!!

Rest in God's arms adn learn to enjoy HIS love!!!!
Praying for you! Your posts have meant a lot to me in the few weeks I have been coming to this forum. God created you with a very tender caring heart!!!

Yes...I do have low self-esteem most of the time...because of school relations (Student Council and academics, which society seems to love more than creativity) and other stuff...

Some days I don't have these self-esteem issues, and other days it keeps coming back even though my mother and other people have complimented me...I guess I keep on dwelling on the past mistakes...and how many mistakes they are! I keep comparing myself to my cousin and "go-getting" people like her. I only credit myself on my writing and art. And my art even isn't good enough to my dad... I saw this prodigy who's 11 years old and she draws in a Realism way and she has money flowing in the house...!

Sometimes I wish I was someone else...sometimes I think it's not worth it!!

My name is Bo Peep (nickname) and I'm 18...

Wow, I totally know what you guys mean. I usually just take so many things that are thrown at me because I figure I'm not worth the effort of blocking them. I think its definately affecting my relationship with my boyfriend. Oh, by the way, Alive Again, your message was awesome.

Anyway, girl if you ever need to talk, pm me or something. We'll all get through this.

Well partly, my mother dubbed me sunshine when I was just a wee tot, and to her I could never bring her down.

I have had problems with low self esteem. It does affect my current relationships - in fact, I've lost friends because of it. They got tired of "dealing" with it, so now I've just been kinda on my own. Actually, they probably weren't friends in the first place...

 

[Xemp]

I have the same problem.

My self esteem is so low that I have problem even to accept the Jesus love. I don't like myself and I feel that anybody does, even Jesus... I always get angry for been created and always pray to Jesus to make my life shorter . Honestly, I don't care for been this way, except that I can't have any girlfriend because it's simplily hard to believe that somebody could like me...
I also think that i can't do anything right. Don't know what to do. I personally can't do anything, I deliver it all to Jesus hands, but He seems so quiet that I can't believe that there is something that He will do.

I would like to join your buddy system, to talk more about this.

God bless you. Thanks for opening this theme

I have very low self-esteem and it does affect my relationship. I was even in pageants when I was a little girl and have been told many times that I was pretty, but all that does not help and I feel so low for some reason..

 

[invisiblebabe]

Sunshine,
Do you still want/need an encouragement partner? I could certainly use one. PM or IM me and let me know. I can relate very well to your isolation and low self-esteem issues.

Blessings

sorry to quote you so directly Xemp, but i was hunting for the words for a while, then i read them all is if i'd somehow already written them

my self esteems gotten so low, i haven't even been able to face churh in some time, even though i feel drawn.

i have only the one friend that found me some 10 years ago, he's stuck by me through it all, but working full time now, and me not being able to work properly, i do get kinda lonesome :S

this may be my first post, but if possible, it'd be quite nice to get involved in the group, if that's ok, you all sound amazing

thank you
