I Have Low Self Esteem

I have such low self esteem that it is disabling. I never feel good enough to the point I cant even be around people anymore. I wish I could be more confident but I just don't have the energy. I feel fear all the time....

Why? Whatcha got to be afraid of?

@Feedbacker: I don't meet peoples expectations in the looks department. Truth is people just lie to look at pretty the rest of the visually challenged gets no respect.

Lots of people aren't pretty. Arguably most people at some point. It doesn't really last. None of this has much to do with fear does it?

@toniyl: there are many types of beauty! Why do you not look for yourself as half full rather than half empty?

@Feedbacker: I just think about looks and how I don't fit in and how people have treated me. then I am filled with fear of being judged negatively.

I would suggest that you test it out here if you are bold enough.

Fear of judgment is a driving force for many. Would you say that you have anxiety?
toniyl · 46-50, F
@Feedbacker: YES definitely I have anxiety to the point I'm almost house bound and quit my job. I feel lost....

@toniyl: there is therapy available.

@toniyl: You understand that anxiety comes from an inability to tolerate a lack of control on some level? It is an issue that can be managed although you may need help.
