[quote=Anonymous]You have to, deep down, realize, and believe, that every human being has something valuable to offer, something they can teach you - whether it is their sense of humor and ability to lift your spirits, or it's a specific deep knowledge in a subject area, or an interesting life history, or it is their ability to connect people and generosity of spirit, or their loyalty and reliability.  Once you realize this, you can start to actually enjoy people, friendships, and be appreciative of people and have genuine interest in others.  And then the offshoot of this is that once you are able to do this, you are also able to see the things that you have to offer the world and to others and to see the value in yourself.

I think there's a lot you can do to work on self-esteem and confidence.  One is to just start following your interests and get really good at something, something you enjoy.

Another is to start working on building some positive habits into your day.  For example, daily exercise, daily meditation, daily gratitude - start with just 5 minutes a day and build on it.

I've struggled with this my whole life too.  My parents were/are constantly critical, verbally and physically abusive.  I've also done some therapy as well, and it was helpful but was too expensive to maintain.[/quote]
