I had an extremely low self esteem that no one will be impressed in my stories
That’s why i and my friend decided to write a collaborative story
Then, when my friend transferred schools, i had no other option and began working on stories myself
And it gave me my reward: the story won 3rd prize in my school
So, I always say
NEVER LOSE FAITH IN YOURSELF
Share some inspiring stories here.

I have very low self esteem and, this isn’t very inspiring, but I’ll tell my opinion anyways.
People always say “BELIEVE IN YOURSELF” or “BE YOURSELF” but mainly the people that say that have never experienced depression, maybe even are full of themselves, or looking for attention. Quotes do not help my self esteem AT ALL. It actually makes me angry sometimes. It’s like an adult without children voicing their “opinion” on topics revolving family life. They think they know but they have NO CLUE how hard it is to take care of children, especially as a single parent. Let’s say they think you should give up your child if your life is too hard, but they don’t know how hard it is to give up the center of your world.
I rarely get to voice my opinion on topics like this, because I’m always pressured to be “a nice child” and always silenced. People who always get to speak out tell you to “be yourself”. People always pretend they can relate to you but they can’t. There’s very little people that can sometimes. I have a friend at school, let’s call him O, he has severe OCD and he’s the only one I can actually relate to. He has dark humor too and he always seems to get injured (not like breaking his hand, more like cutting his arm accidentially), something I am very open about that I cannot relate to. This dude, call him P, REALLY pisses me off. He says he doesn’t have OCD (wrong. everybody has OCD) and he tried to trigger my severe OCD by placing his gluestick on his folder.
F*ck you, P.
And he’s apparently “very bright for his age”. Very bright, my foot.
But, away from the negativity, someone I look up to is my mother. She accepts nearly everyone as long as they are not bullies, or murderers. By nearly everyone I mean she does not accept polygamy people (people who want more than one wife, or husband). She accepts every race, sexuality, every unique person. She has very, very severe fibromyalgia, and the doctors told her it would have been cured is 2-3 years, but she got it in early 30s, maybe 30-35. She is now 40. In the early stages, she could not go to town without being in a wheelchair.
Now she can walk around inside the house without any help and only needs a walking stick to walk outside. She has very little stamina and she needs help getting up the stairs, but we’re working on it. Sh said she wouldn’t have made it out without optimism, which, I’ll admit, I cannot relate to, but I’m trying to be optimistic nowadays. (Usually though if I’m optimistic I take it for granted. Woops.)
And she has the most amazing quotes. I guess I’ll finish off with two of the ones I’ve heard the most.
“It doesn’t matter who you are, as long as you don’t hurt or kill people.”
“In a way, we’re all autistic, even if we’re not diagnosed with it. We all have our ways of looking at life.”

I’d like to think that I am realistic about myself.
I know where I suck, and I know where I’m good, mostly.
Sometimes I may feel like crap, for example, when I see other artist works, and realize how bad mine are. Mostly when I’m in a whiny mood. Depends on the perspective. You see how good someone is in something, and you can start feeling bad about yourself, or you can work on yourself, on the improvement of your skills.
So don’t just be yourself, but be the best version of yourself, would sum it up better 
To stop struggling with your self-esteem, I think everyone has to realize that you are not perfect, no one is, and you will never be. And you are bad in a lot of things, but you are also good in a lot of things (or not a lot). So just accept your flaws, and work on them (or not) and improve your strengths.

Honestly, it depends. In sports, I was always that “athlete”, but when it came to actual skills and not competition, I had low self-esteem. I’d compare to myself to other athletes who had better anything than me, but in a way it kind of pushed me since I was having a competition in my mind. Now I represent my town for sprinting. A bit of healthy competition never hurt me.

Tbh my self esteem is very low. Ever since I deactivated all of my social media accounts, I still feel very low because of how badly ostracised I was by people I once called friends.

My self esteem is so low, that if you could measure it with numbers, the number would be negative. And I also never talk to people really, when I have conversations with people, it’s always about them and I never hear anything about myself. I feel like it has some kind of an effect when everything you ever hear about yourself is coming from your own head and it’s all just insecurities and insults. Everytime that someone is trying to befriend me I feel like they just feel bad for me, not that they actually want to be around me, don’t know if it’s true, but I know my self esteem is so low that I doubt there’s much of a difference (even if doesn’t start like that, good chance it’ll continue to be that)
It’s not inspiring, just sad, probably.

Motivational, as I also grew up with low self-esteem. That you might believe there’s nothing that really interests you or that you’re really good at, but I’m sure you’ll find something that’s unique and perfect for you much like I have.
