Low self-esteem

Having low self-esteem SUCKS It has shaped me in ways that I can't even look at myself in the mirror I do not want anyone to feel what I feel about myself It is a terrible, terrible feeling when you can't accept yourself when you doubt everything when you can't trust yourself when you can't love yourself when you give in to the voices that little you and, and start to believe every word of it I do not wish this upon anyone but for some reason when I find someone who is going through this... it helps I know I can talk to them I think because they are the only ones who truly understand Who will not make fun of me Who will stand by me because they know, they know what it's like to wish you could rip this skin of yours and be a different skin because you just hate yourself so much I am still getting used to this skin

Notes

Being overly shy and having low self-esteem has ruined me so many times, I've missed so many great opportunities because of it and as a result I developed social anxiety
