How do you fix your low-self esteem?

[u/Akashh23_pop]

I think part of reason I seem to lack confidence is because I have low self esteem and I think this problem has occurred because I've never really challenged myself and accepted defeat easily. I also didn't go outside comfort zone. I seem to put off tasks and worry all day instead of doing something about it.

I think you should try a spiritual checklist.

A checklist where you sit down and ask yourself what exactly you’ve got and your shortcomings. Your skills and attributes and your struggles. Ask yourself about who has hurt you in the past but also who you have hurt. Ask what your desires are, your current goals, current aspirations, and how you can align those goals / aspirations to those desires? All these questions and more just ask yourself in the mirror and write / type your answer out to look at and remember.

Obviously you should be honest when answering these questions because at the end of the day you yourself are asking / answering these, the only one impacted is you and lying means jackshit.

It’s something you should probably write off a weekend for, if I’m being honest. It’s an emotionally draining experience that will exhaust the crap out of you, but it might enlighten you specifically on where your low self esteem originated from, what’s adding to it, and the path you might need to follow to correct it. Is this perfect? No, but it did give me a lot of crucial steps to fix some of my negative views and negative self worth.
