But there's a good chance that you're just going through a rough patch in your life, like everyone does from time to time. There are lots of things you can do to make yourself feel better.





Try joining a recreational sport, club, or activity. Try organizing or attending more social events with friends. Go out more, and indulge in your hobbies - like going to a library or bookstore, etc.





Try wearing new makeup, hairstyles and clothes that make you feel even slightly better about yourself.





Try eating better and exercising - both these things nourish your body and your mind; for example, exercise releases powerful mood-boosting hormones.|||High self-esteem comes from first , appreciating your inner strength , it all starts when you wake up to look in the mirror what do you see , are you happy , you should be , self-conscious and grateful of what god gave you , even if its not the looks , there's always something that you're better than anyone at , especially if you're struggling , it gives you the vision to stop and stare at people you know , it actually shows you how malignant the world is and unsupportable as sadistic as it is , it's true , i say go shopping and start taking more care of yourself workout more often since it releases mood-boosting Hormones and it makes you feel congruent with everyone , it'll help you unconsciously build a better self-esteem base.|||its Very difficult and i struggle with similar problems. The best advice i can give is SLOW down start focusing in on things for me it is learning for you it might be danceing painting ect make an effort to work on yourself
