Having low self-esteem? Don't worry because we're going to provide you with tips on how to build up your self-esteem and be more confidence with yourself.

Tips provided are from trusted sources.

1. Take a deep breath.

- Staying relaxed and being laid-back in general can help you see the bigger picture and not sweat the small stuff so much. It's also a good frame of mind to be in when you're taking a close look at the things you're not so good at.

2. Take inventory of your strengths.

- Everybody's good at something. Even if you don't have a talent or strength that you're aware of, you probably have some interests you can develop into strengths.

3. Realize your limits.

- NOBODY'S PERFECT. It may not always seem this way, but it's true. Everyone has their own personality, uniqueness, and a perspective on the world that's all your own and completely valueble.

4. Stop putting yourself down.

- One of the biggest things that keeps people from achieving their goals is negative self-talk. It's the same as you're telling yourself that you're a loser or a failure puts a big damper on your ability to get what you want and be who you want.

5. Pat yourself on the back every day.

- Find a few small things that you did well each day. A lot of good can be accomplished in one day, and it's something to take pride in.

Try not to mix with friends who will bring negative impacts of you. Mix with those whom you know will bring you positive impacts. Friends falls on the 'negative impacts' category, and vice versa for Good friends. If he/she is a good friend, he/she won't criticize you unless those criticizing thingy will make you good.

Better still, just ignore the criticizer. Let them say whatever they wanna say about you. Let them be. They are just jealous about you. Don't entertain them because if you do, it's like you are giving them motivation to keep on bringing you down. Once they are tired or once they thought they looked like a complete fool in bringing you down when there's even no reply from you, they will stop doing so.
