What does the bible say about self-esteem?

One thought:

Historically, those with 'low self-esteem', tend to treat others badly. On the other hand, the Bible, at Matthew 19:19, tells us that we must ... love our neighbor as ourselves...so obviously, we need to have a sense of personal dignity and self worth, in order to show love and respect to others.

It's important to remember that humans are a creation of God, and he sent his precious son to die for each of us (1 John 4:7-10/John 3:16). We have worth. Those who respond loyally to this demonstration of love, who act on it, GIVING BACK to God and to OTHERS according to God's word(Acts 20:35/Proverbs 11:25) will be rewarded with inner peace and well-being(Psalm 37:4). When we do what's right and what's commendable in God's eyes, we feel GOOD about who we are(Mark 12:30-33). We feel joy, and will treat others accordingly.

Though we should never feel superior to anyone else(1 Corinthians 4:7/Romans 12:3/Proverbs 8:13/1Peter 5:5/Proverbs 11:2/Romans 3:23), we can feel good about our worth in God's eyes(Galatians 5:26/6:3+4), even if we make mistakes, because God knows what's in our hearts(1 Samuel 16:7)(Psalm 103:13/Psalm 130:3+4). If we are doing our best to do God's will(Hebrews 6:10)(Acts 10:34+35) and trying hard to please him by applying his word(Galatians 5:22+23)(Ecclesiastes 12:13) we will feel GOOD about ourselves and be in a position to help build others up too. (John 13:34+35)(Philippians 2:1-4)(1 Thessalonians 5:14)

How do you deal with being ugly?

  • While we live in the modern world of 'the beautiful people' and if they are not then they get plastic surgery to become beautiful or handsome, the majority of people are not born perfect as far as beauty and a good physical build. No one is ugly! It is true that beauty fades so one should have one heck of a good personality. Beauty comes within a person and when that happens their facial expressions actually change and, they begin to do something about how they look. Females for instant could ask a girlfriend to help them with their makeup; new hairstyle and some newer clothes to look more attractive. If a female or male has a large nose then in this case plastic surgery can be done; crooked or broken teeth can be fixed by the dentist. Do not pay attention to actors in a movie or on TV; magazines or all the ads saying what beautiful is. All of it is untrue and what you see is not what is real. Models to actors have makeup sprayed on their faces and bodies to make them look flawless (they can even get a tan for a day or two by spraying) and they wear wigs between pictures or modeling. Several times in magazines you will see actors 'as is' and they are no different than the rest of us. Do not let the media (magazines; Internet; etc.) make you think that because you do not look as perfect as models or actors that you are ugly. In the end for all of us it is what is inside a person that shines through and if you stop being so picky about yourself and realize this you will be totally amazed what a smile can do for you and a good personality. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. One day sit in the mall and watch people go by. You may see a beautiful woman with a plain looking man or a handsome man with a plain looking woman and it is these people that are truly in love.

How do you get more confidence?

Confidence is something you can't fake, you've truly got to believe in yourself for people to sense it, theres nothing to stop people giving you tips however ...

Im guessing this is about getting the confidence to ask someone out, even if it isn't this will still apply. A thing I used to do when I wasn't full of confidence like I am now, was think to myself "F*** it, you only live once", believe me it has a bigger effect than you might expect, to further explain myself, its scenario time !

*Your stood a good distance away from the guy/girl you want to go out with, preparing to ask them*

First of all your immediate thought is "Im not good looking, he/she will say no straight away and all their friends will laugh as I take the walk of shame back to my seat" ... heres where that voice in your head jogs on and confidence knocks on the door, "Ok, lets say I bail out and don't go through with it, what if i got hit by a car on the way home and was in hospital waiting to die (I know that's awful, but you need to paint a very dark picture of what could happen if you DONT ask them, rather than what bad things could happen if you did), I'd never know if they would've said yes ... and to add to it I spent the last day worrying what 4 or 5 retards around them thought about me. All i'd be able to do would be to lay there regretting every opportunity i didn't take, and for what ? To save abit of embarrassment ? ... Not on my watch sonny Jim !"

*Walks over without the slightest care of the consequences, asks said person out, and due to the fact you couldn't care less what happens, they'll usually say yes because they can sense your confidence.*

Even if they say No, just say "No worries", smile (whilst looking into their eyes) and walk away, that's basically like saying "I couldn't give a toss if you say no, you just missed a BIG opportunity to be with an awesome person", and believe me, they'll know it. What if they laugh? If they laugh it's because THEIR embarrassed that you weren't affected by their rejection when they expected you to be, and then they will usually regard you as higher than them or at least respect you more.

Remember, problems are never as bad as they seem at the time, its usually because your minds focused so much upon it and by doing that it's made it worse. Good luck, and don't give a toss what anyone thinks about you !

Because they think it will give them power to do it again. All that really winds up happening is that their so called "power" is drained, and they begin to feel bad about themselves, thus trying to reach you again in any way possible ignoring your boundaries and trying to control you again.

One Opinion:

And, it is a parents job to control you until you are of age, financially independent, educated, worldly wise, and out of the house! When you have your own children, you will understand. In an age of HIV, serial killers, shotguns, Jihad, etc, aren't you glad that you have parents who care enough to try to control all the whacked out things you TRY to get past them? A 27 year old young woman I know, just recently, told me that she was very grateful I kept on her butt, screened her phone calls, and determined with whom she would spend time. She also mentioned that she might be knocked up, pregnant again, married to some loser, and live in a hovel if we had not stayed on her butt.
