Question

I have very low self esteem issues I am a young girl 20 yrs old to be exact and i am 5' 1" 96 lbs just have a tiny body and very low self esteem my fiancee keeps telling me i'm beautiful but I don't believe it. I don't feel beautiful. What can I do?

Answer 1

LIsten to your boyfriend.  If he tells you, you are beautiful believe him.

Also ask his friends their opinions.  If you cant believe him and them, go see a psychologist and let them help you with those issues.

Answer 2

Wait. You are 20 years old, thin, and have a fiance. What's to have low self esteem about?!

If you are really worried, see a specialist. If you can't afford it, get a dog. Seriously. A puppy's unconditional love for you and only you helps.

Answer 3

As a counselor, I have experience in working on self-esteem issues.  Feeling better about yourself starts with your thoughts.  You have to change your thinking about yourself from negative, overly critical, harsh, and judgmental to realistic, positive, loving, and supportive.  You have to start noticing the positive things about you and keep focusing on those things, reminding yourself of these things often.  You have to tell yourself you love yourself no matter what and keep doing this often.  And you have to deal with and heal from what you went through as a young girl.  The past does not have to define the present.  You may have had no control over your circumstances as a child, but as an adult, you have control over you and your life and you can use that in a positive way.  You can love yourself and feel good about you despite the past.  You can be happy despite the past.  Know that you have control in your life.  Consider seeing a counselor to work on these issues.  I wish you well.
