HachiBee,can you please tell me some of the ways?I really want to improve,to do something

Heyy. These are just the ways I can think of right now.
Be kind to yourself, this will be able to build up your self-confidence. Practicing self-compassion can a positive and understanding relationship with yourself. Even simply 3 self-affirmation a day can do that.
Set small goals, achieving these tasks can give you a sense of accomplishment, can build up your confidence.
These are simple things you can do for yourself. It's these little things build to big things.
There's also an option of reaching out to a listener or joining the chatrooms here in 7cups that can help you brainstorm how to cope with these feelings.
And be patient with yourself. Progress might take time, but with consistent effort and support, you can work through these felelings.
You're not alone in this, okay. You got this 💜
Thank you so much...Actually you know I try hard to improve everyday...I have been criticized by many people since childhood,some positively and some negatively...I won't blame them..it's my fault.....now also,I have promised to endure all criticisms without protesting as long as I prove something...yes I am enduring all the criticisms by smiling only,but I can't progress..deep inside I am suffering each day and for that I can't progress,despite trying hard...I am feeling that I am becoming a problem for everyone...But I want that.....I want to do a lot for everyone, to take my close ones' responsibilities......but I can't ..

I hear you. You've been enduring so much criticism, I can only imagine how heavy to carry all those burdens with you.
Sounds like you criticize yourself a lot too. If it's not their fault, it's not yours either. You're doing your best to handle all this.
I hope you know your worth is not determined by others' opinion of you. You deserve love and understanding just as you are.
Also it seems you've a ton of time thinking about others, and perhaps it's time that you give the same care for yourself.
Progress often requires self-compassion. Remember, taking care of yourself enables you to be in a better help those you care about.
It may be hard to believe now, but you I got this. I believe in your ability to progress and be able the person you want to be.

Some people can so mean, I'm sorry.
But remember, intelligence and common sense come in many forms, and your kindness and gentleness are valuable qualities.
Don't let others' opinions define your worth. You are capable and worthy just as you are.
