Thank you Nathanial Branden. Your books helped.

Didn't even realize how my low self-esteem had defined my expectations, and limited myself. Working through the Artist's Way, I began to accept that I had low self-esteem, and now can work to overcome it.

always poor self esteem with shyness- always needing to be worked on.

Have a hard time having self esteem. Very hard for me to have this and don't know if I ever will have self esteem because I am too shy to have it.

The best medicine so far.

I wouldn't talk for fear of how others would perceive me. It wasn't until I became more comfortable with myself that I was able to talk more.

That was something I had to work on over the years, but it's at a healthy level now, I think. There's room for a little improvement, but I'm a lot better than where I used to be. So long as I feel confidant with who I am, it gets a little easier with handling others.

Never been high on self-esteem. Dad taught me to use tools in the his shop and he did more good than anyone.

I do have low self-esteem. I am saying positive things to myself. But for some reason what I say doesn't seem to get through to my brain. Just talking about this is a little scary.

Working on this too.
