I lack the ability to believe in myself?

Question

I have no belief in myself. I feel I'm wrong at every turn. And 90% of the time, I am wrong. I have no confidence or self-esteem, due to my ugliness and social inhibitions. I look in myself and I can't find one thing that makes me likable or even tolerable. Please, don't say that you should just tell yourself you are "blah blah blah" because unless it's true, I'm not going to be able to convince myself no matter what. Can I have any advice?

Answer 1

(1) If you're wrong 90% of the time, you;re right 10%.

(2) Does anybody at all like you? Somebody must.

I think you're wasting your time on the bad and not focusing on the good.

Nobody's right all the time. I think it was Alexander Graham Bell (who invented the telephone, by the way), was told once by one of his helpers that was discouraged because something like 200 experiments in row had failed. Mr. Bell said, "Those weren't failures. We now know 200 things that don't work."

Answer 2

well i also had problems with self esteem! dont think negative about yourself! don't think you are ugly! no one is ugly! we all have our beauty! and what's form the inside is the most important! the inside defines a person not the outside! If you have many good qualities (which im sure u have qualities coz we all do), dont worry with the outside!

if you say that 90% of the time you are wrong....we all make wrong things but we always learn with our mistakes/ wrong things! so don't worry with being wrong or not! im sure you have good qualities ....dont mind with the outside...the inside is the light of everything!

Think positive about yourself! Im sure you have many things to be proud of yourself! take care  

Answer 3

Maybe you just need to get out there and make yourself busy!

Volunteer, try a new activity, (if you don't already) get a job.

Challenge yourself!

Busy people don't have time or energy to ponder about themselves.

Get absorbed, and once you finally remember to reflect, you'll say, "Hey! I'm doing something with my life." Self-esteem builds from there.

I say, nothing kills a person like losing their sense of purpose.  You get muddled down in inactivity, and there's too much time to reflect on what's wrong with yourself, and you just get tied up into depression.

Get out there! Go live life, and everything will fall into place!

Answer 4

Change what you don't like about yourself. Or just simply be YOURSELF,that's a real good thing too..
