I am 18 years old.
And I've been struggling with my self esteem for a while now.
I see things no one notices.
And it really gets me down.
People end up thinking I'm immature for feeling this way about myself.
And someone has even told me they think I like feeling this way.
Why would I like feeling depressed about myself?
They give me what they call "Constructive Criticism" and they tell me quite a bit of negative things about myself that needs to be improved.
Especially people that have no idea who I truly am as a person.
I do get aggravated by the misconceptions.
It's gotten to the point where I don't socialize with people because I just lack the confidence.
I wish I had more confidence in myself as a person.
I don't know how I can possibly raise my self esteem and everyone else's outlook on me.
It's given me horrible posture, because I'm always self conscious.
And I mainly keep to myself, because I feel uncomfortable around most people.
I've basically isolated myself socially.
So, because no matter who I go to they tell me to grow up, I want to ask you guys... How can I help build myself up?
