Thank You for this post, I have recently broke out with REALLY bad acne lately, and I am 25! It sucks, acne scars, cystic acne, zits all over. I have really beaten myself up over it. I cry a lot lately because I feel so horrible about myself. All the while I know that it shouldn’t matter so much, that I should love myself for me and that hopefully it will go away. With all of this the last couple months it has really shown me how much self esteem I lack!! And I hate that. I don’t value myself very much, I have no self worth, I guess deep inside I have always known I need to learn to love myself and not be so hard on myself……. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU for this article. It was much needed and has now given me a direction for building my self esteem. I also liked your article called Start Loving Your Body. So I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write this for others, I now at least have some pointers on where to start. Thank You!

Hi Renee, first of all I want to tell you that I so love your blog. It’s very informative and helpful, especially this one. You see I have always had a low self-confidence because of many reasons but it reaches a different level when my dad died.He was the one who always supports me and cheer me and tell me that I can be the best.But when he was gone it felt like I can’t do anything, and it affected everything in my life, my school, my friends and my disposition and honestly it has also affected my relationship with God. Everyone was there for me but I always push them away because I felt that I dont deserve their care. I was just so angry at everything that i stop caring and I didn’t know what else to do. So I stop talking and avoided them. I was lucky that my friends didn’t give up on me. They continueously ask how I was doing and even if I wont answer them they would leave messages for me and cheer me up. And because of that I realized that i’m not alone and a lot of people do care about me and are sincerely concerns about my well-being. Now i’m trying to get back on the right track. And this post really helps me a lot. I think you were right that knowing your significance and purpose will help one to love and feel good about herself. i also think that being happy and contented will help one feel more confident. One more thing, thank you so much for starting your blog. I’m sure it has helped many readers.;)

You are so right, the inner critic is harsh. We speak to ourselves in ways that we would never speak to another person. Self esteem begins with loving yourself first. Reading self help books is a great place to get started.
