Does anybody else have cripplingly low self esteem?

Sometimes i feel as though im the only one.so i just want to know does anyone else suffer wit this too. I feel sad because i cant feel like i cant be loved. It brings me down and i dont even know if it is justified. I feel so lonely all the time and i have no one to go out and enjoy my life with i have never had any friends and this brings me down even more.

I now can catch when I am thinking in low self-esteem and try to control it. I have done a lot of gentle psychotherapy.

How do you measure/test self-esteem?

I have low self esteem but oddly enough, I think I’m equal to everybody.

I used to, but I have learned that I can become extremely proficient with different things if I put in enough effort. Now I’m fairly self-confident. A quarter century ago my biggest wish was to dig a hole, jump in it, and then pull it in after me.

Therapy really helps - get some if you can.

Yeah i have had poor self esteem, but i have been working with my psychologist and things are slowly getting better. Do you see anyone?

Yes I suffer from low self esteem. I’ve isolated myself most of my life. I don’t have many friends and don’t date.

It makes me depressed and sad. I wish that I was never born. When I get depressed I start blaming my parents for bringing me to this world with such shitty genes. And I hate them for it!

Btw I’m depressed now!

I have an inferiority complex coupled with delusions of grandeur.
I’ll save all mankind and then spend the rest of my life apologizing for it.
