Seeking help

...See more Hi guys! I am seeking some advice. I am a 22yr old female currently in her senior year of college. I am studying psychology and creative writing and hope to be attended graduate school next year to begin my path of becoming a licensed counselor. I work three part-time jobs on top of a full-time class load and have managed to maintain a 4.0 all the while paying my own (minor) bills each month. I must say that it is pretty darned impressive. Nonetheless, I can't help but feel like I am not good enough. There is this inseparable belief inside of me that there is something inalienably wrong or bad inside of me, and it keeps me from being able to truly connect to and trust others. I am convinced that there is something so uniquely different about me that I will never feel like I belong anywhere, both contextually and socially. What is self-esteem, really? How can I foster it? What are some things that could or should be done to value myself and believe in my capability more? I feel like an imposter everywhere I go, even though nobody sees it amd nobody knows how lonely, detached, and invisible I feel all of the time.
