Looking to chat with similar people with low self-esteem. Going through a rough time but trying to make some big changes.

New to freeola and chat so please be kind.

Used to be and occasionally still are.

Oh, and welcome.

If that's what it's doing for you then great, stick with it but perhaps there is some possibility that a username like this could give people the wrong idea about you? As for your low self esteem, I would try and concentrate on the positive things in your life, is managing to post a thread of this kind to a bunch of strangers (who could have mocked and knocked you down even further) not a forward step? I have never been into things that the masses seemed to love (music, sport, films, TV, events etc. etc.) but you know what, it really doesn't matter, never try to become something you are not. Years ago my mates dragged me to a couple of events that they all ensured me that I would love (a football match and an Oasis gig), I went to both with an open mind and absolutely hated them. They then tried to get me into clubbing, didn't like that either, they all called me a miserable b......, why?, because I didn't like the same stuff they did?!?! Don't ever think that because you may feel different to other people that makes you in anyway inferior because it really doesn't. Just be yourself, there is always the possibility that your low self esteem is due to your negative perception of something being greater than it is in reality? As for whatever may have happened in your life to make you feel this way, just try and block it out and move on from it (think of Rafiki's advice to Simba in The Lion King!).


GAD worthy.
