I'm not sure if it's because of how I view myself or because of how the people in my life have lead me to view myself, but I've never really thought I was worth loving. Because of that, I go out of my way to try to help others and make other people happy. I don't think this is a bad thing however people of late have started to take advantage of this kindness and take it for granted. People assume it will always be like this, and that no matter what they do to me and how they treat me, I'll always be there to help them and care for them. And I always have, I forgive way too easily, I forget past hurts. I want to know how I can stand up for myself, how I can be as strong as I always wish I really am.

I recently began reading a book entitled, Maximum Self-Esteem, The Handbook for reclaiming your sense of self-worth. Awesome book... I have learned so much from it, and I would me more than happy to share some of the information if anyone is interested in hearing about it.

It discusses how we seek approval from others, because we disapprove of ourselves.How at first it seems to work because when we are doing for others they tend to like us, however it is only temporary.

To reclaim our high self-esteem, we must eliminate the belief that we need others' approval and replace it with a healthy belief in ourselves.
