Overcoming Low Self Esteem Community Group
This group is named after the book Overcoming Low Self-Esteem, A self-help guide using Cognitive Behavioral Techniques by Meleanie Fennel. This group is for all of those who want to work together to drag themselves out of the daily reality that is brought about by Low Self-Esteem.
I have never really reached out to anyone regarding my low self esteem so this is a little uncomfortable for me. I struggling with comparing myself to others to the point I won't go out with my friends because I feel as though I do not look as good as them. I struggle with my apperance more than anything, I feel like the way I look is terrible and I try so many things to help myself feel better. My main outlet to help myself feel better is shopping, I think that if I get new clothes they will make me look better. In the end they don't and then I end up broke or in debt which makes me feel even worse about myself. I dont really know what to do to help myself feel better and I feel like I am alone when it comes to these problems.
I pictured myself as the me I wished I was. I picked a situation where I felt confident.
I used this little scene as a guide when I went out.
It helped me feel more comfortable and let me talk and interact better. It took the worry about what others thought about me.
The more I did this the more I became the me I wished I was!
