I Have Low Self Esteem

I hate that this is how I feel about myself! I let stupid childhood memories haunt me and just feel really undesirable most of the time so I just choose to sit on the sidelines and watch the rest of the world move on and have exciting things happen to them while I just wait for something to come along because I don't have enough security in myself to go for it! I hate how easy it to tear myself down! I crave validation from others but never receive it and it hurts but I'm honestly trying to change that about myself because it is really unbecoming and will become worse if I don't fix it myself.

it is true only you can fix it,try to think of yourself as unique as really are,idk what kind of bullying you experienced,any is bad news, as you say its easier to mock yourself or agree ,making changes on another or others say so.being different on any level is not a fault or sign you have to wear.you probably feel alone on this your not ,you are better than the opinion of bullies,believe in yourself always go with your own gut feeling.im sure your inner child is just waiting for you to set her free, you got this 🤗
