low self esteem

hey everyone. I feel like opening up about this finally, maybe it will make me feel better.

So, to start, how do people even deal with low self esteem? I’ve read about a lot of possible ways to deal with it, but it’s not working. Like no, I don’t want to focus on the positives and I don’t want to be kind to myself. I’m glad it’s working for some people, but what do I do if I have no desire to do any of those things? I still feel terrible and sometimes it feels like I’m not worth anything.

What makes it worse is I’m not sure what’s the source of such thoughts? I might have social anxiety but other than that, I have a loving and supportive family and a couple of friends that I’m very happy to know. I did face some bullying in middle school, but it really wan’t TOO bad. I’ve since moved on from that, I don’t think it’s really affecting me anymore in any sense.

Thanks for reading
