rakula Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I've recently lost someone dear to me. In the process my self-esteem to move on has been battered. I know that I can't find someone new until I'm happy with myself. Do any of you know of ways to improve that self-esteem?
Guest Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 There are actually lots of great books on it. You can also do a search online for articles on improving self-esteem. It takes more than someone can post in a post which is why I'm suggesting you check other references.
Diver012 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Time... simply time. People grow and change all the time. The needs of a person sometimes become incompatible with who the other person is. Doesn't mean anythings wrong with either person, it just means a match is no longer possible. Losing your self esteem is a natural reaction to losing someone you cared about. Your first instinct is to blame yourself for whats happened. A lot of "What If" type questions start circulating in you head. This will all pass. Trust in yourself and embrace the reality that there is life after all of this pain. There really is.
alphamale Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 i can't comment with this small amount of detail on the situation
Maddy7777 Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 As someone going through the same thing (lost love, low self esteem) you just have to say that there is life beyond it. I do the same thing, I put myself down and I play the blame game and in the end where does it get me? I'm crying and he is out there living his life and not affected whatsoever. You just have to tell yourself that everyday. Everytime you put yourself down just keep telling yourself that there is nothing wrong with you, you are great and nothing will change the past. All you can do is look to the future with your head up. Hope this helps! hugs
