Have you had a self-confidence issue? A self-worth issue? And overcame it? How did you do it?

Would you tell me how to like ourselves? How to feel good about ourselves?

@BrynElea

i had these issues and yes overcame them.

Several items but number 1 is quit comparing yourself to others.    No one is  keeping score. 

 Recognize your triggers to self doubt.  perhaps it is past comparison or often in my past i had people that only felt good about themselves by making others feel less than.   That was a huge one for me to see how damaged those people are .     It really does not matter what things look like on outside we seldom see they are as insecure as we have been or they spend too much time and energy trying to pretend they are not.

It would vary greatly by situation but example 

My child was getting married we could contribute to wedding but had a limit. The other set of parents seems like they wanted much more. I felt like it was pushing me to compare or feel bad about a limit.  It was only when I found out as my child said "They are very comfortable being in  deep debt"  That is when I realized they will work until death to pay for a fake "look we are wealthy" picture.  Too many judge by outside picture a fancy house/ car / clothes without seeing it could be a false narrative. 

Everyone has another side we do not see,  Once I remember that I am no longer intimidated or comparing myself. 

I KNOW who I am ( we only see things about others they want us to believe)  ... I do not waste my time trying to ACT if i am something else.  It is freeing.
