It is easy to doubt one's self-worth. Growing up exposed to negative feedback about who you are as a person blurs the reality that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. These traits help create uniqueness as an individual. It can be hard not to label these attributes as good or bad.  Trying to practice staying non-judgemental will help to look at these attributes more objectively. Ask yourself, what are my strengths? What do my strengths bring to the table when it comes to relationships? How do my strengths compensate for any areas that might need work?

There are strategies you can implement. By using affirmations you can build self-esteem, they are simple daily reminders either placed in a journal or on post-its. You can ask people in your environment, whether they be co-workers, friends, family, church members, what they think your strengths are. Doing this, you get direct feedback from those you trust. Receiving constructive feedback can curb negative self-talk. Surrounding yourself with positive reinforcers will help break down the built-up negative Identity. You can create self-esteem that is more flexible, feels acceptable, and increases confidence. You have the right to explore what mutual admiration in a relationship feels like.

Not feeling good enough can be something we may all relate during different periods of our lives. We think that we can do better, and it's daunting. It can come along with feelings of rising inner critic, self doubt, negative self talks, and we find ourselves in a vicious cycle of sinking deeper and deeper. One point to remember is that, our self worth is not bound to the circumstance we're in. As we are all human beings navigating through ups and downs in life. As children, we raise in an environment that parents, relatives, and many people have influence on us. Sometimes we might end up internalizing the issues others came across to tell us, but let me tell you one thing, it's not always true! At the end of the day, You and only you are the one who needs to be content with yourself buddy. If I want to give some options to help increase that, practicing self love, self confidence, surrounding yourself with supportive family members, creating healthy relationships, and not allowing social media to affect us in a bad way would be good alternatives. Therapy can also be helpful. 

Remember, you're an amazing person who is trying your best, keep it up, and good luck! 💚

Answer:

As human beings, we tend to strive for self-improvement and to be worthy of our loved ones. Parents encourage their children to try harder and do better, but it is important to incorporate self love and acceptance into our mindset. The best self improvement we can achieve is when it comes from a basis of self love and care. As we grow, we find more and more flaws within ourselves, which feeds our inner critic and keeps a near-constant voice of self doubt and insecurity. Breaking away from this is a difficult yet important task. Some tips to help build your self esteem are: 

- Surround yourself with loved ones who can provide you with a good support system. A support system is essential to help you ward off negative thoughts and identify patterns in your way of thinking that help feed your inner critic.

- Avoid negative self talk. Try to stop yourself from spiraling into constant criticism of yourself. Ask your loved ones to help distract you. Remind yourself of your positives as well your goal to achieve a healthier view of yourself.

- Focus on healthy communication. Have people implied a general dislike of you? Reach out to your loved ones and colleagues at work/school and genuinely ask them what they think of you. Look for constructive criticism. You may ask them to list a certain number of your positives and negatives. Review the list to see where you can improve- but focus on the positives too. Remember, human beings tend to make mistakes. The objective is not to put yourself down as useless or unworthy of others but to find areas for you to improve and learn from. 

- Imagine someone else in your place. How would you support them? Tell yourself what you think you would tell them. Is there any advice you would give them? Remind yourself that you are as worthy of loving as this imaginary person. 

- Seek professional help. This includes therapy and mental health resources online. Research verified information on self esteem and confidence. 

Remember, at the end of the day, you are not alone in your struggle. The hardest and most important step might be reaching out for help, but once you have achieved this you can embark more easily on your journey to achieve self love.

✨Answer✨

Not feeling good enough, is one of the most common thoughts people feeling and experience. It's like that your story of not feeling good enough for someone is similar to mine, and also different from mine. Being judged my people around us, being rejected by people and jobs, and watching all the happy and pretty people on social media may influence us negatively. The feeling of not being good enough sometimes can stem from low-self-confidence, low self-esteem, self-doubt, and low self-worth.

Many of us were told that we are not good enough, to be pushed to be better. The first step is to recognize where this feeling of not being good voice is really coming from. Is it coming from the inner critic or is it because of the environment and situations? Human beings who had this feeling of being not good enough, need to practice more compassion. They need compassion from the people around them, and more importantly need to give themselves compassion.

At the end of the day, we often dont know in the moment how people and situations In our lives affect us in the moment. Hopefully, this information gives some insight of how to sort out this belief and the feeling of not being good enough so that one can rise up and discover the amazing person within.

Good Luck

Sometimes We Feel That We Are Not Good For Someone But

Why Do We Think That?

1. It’s My own perception.

If You are doing things right and even that someone tells You so and You’re still thinking that You are not good enough for that person then You need to start working on changing your mindset because You are being hard with Yourself, You are not believing in Yourself and that’s not beneficial for You!

Fortunately, that perception can be changed but it requires Your willingness to do it!

2. That someone told me something that made me think about it.

Maybe that someone told You something as an observation or a simple commentary but You took it too personal and even as an attack?

If that’s the case then you might be bringing forth your own insecurities and therefore, You need to work on it otherwise You will have the same problem all the time.

3. That someone seems not to care about me.

If someone does not care nor value You as a person then it’s time for You to move on. You need to know that You are a valuable person and nobody can’t tell you otherwise. Also, You need to think about Your own well-being and happiness, so if someone does not appreciate You as a person then that individual does not deserve You. Therefore, You need to move on and carry on with your life.

It’s important to know that Our well-being is in Our own hands and in most cases, we have everything necessary to change our bad habits but sometimes We just need guidance which can be found in books, spirituality, therapy or any other method that can be right for you!

So don’t give up, grow as individual every single day and be happy!

It’s important to remember that our journey as social human beings with awareness begins with our parents. It may seem obvious, but the first interaction you have with your parents affects your self-confidence and the way you communicate yout whole life. So as we grow older, it may feel like we do things for no reason. That’s where self-doubt and negative self-talk kicks in. Your inner critic focuses on the past and ignores you, the person behind that stone wall, full of uniqueness and possibilities. Just because you couldn’t see the right examples, doesn’t mean that you’re incapable of having healthy relationships and doing great things in life. You’re more than your past. You are all the first important steps you took, all the therapy sessions you have been to, all the information about mental health you researched. They will never go to waste. Don’t give up.
