QUOTE (warita200 @ Sep 25 2006, 01:50 PM) I think a nice way to improve self esteem is to find a hobby, or simply something that interests you and be good at it, just for your own sake. Then you can look back and say: Yes, I have managed this. It was a hard piece of work, but look at me, I did well.
That leaves a nice warming feeling in your heart and helps the self esteem a lot.
hey i can't agree with you more. i've had a hard couple of years. i've moved around several times in the past few years, new schools, new friends, it's hard to find the right people and find a happy medium where you find yourself comfortable.
it took me a while to become comfortable with myself, before i was quite low on self esteem, though now, it's not quite as bad. before i used to look at the type of friends i hung out with, the type of clothes i used to wear and all of that stuff. but now i've realized none of this matters, i wear what ever i want, and i talk to who ever i want to. i realized that if i care too much of what others think about me and try to please them intead of me, then i am never going to be happy, and i will just sink deeper into a ditch of self pity.
ironically, by not following the crowd and being myself people comment on my funky clothing style. ha...people make fun of me for watching anime and being an anime freak (because im not asian, but indian...which is quite rare for someone like me to be addicted to something like this)...but hey, i can't deny what i like.
sometimes i watch anime to forget all the troubles that im going through, ha..it's kinda sad, but it's true, my mind wanders and when i watch anime i feel like i can escape from the world for those 25mins!
