I never know what to say because I've never had low self esteem. I'm one of those carefree person who uses sarcasm daily so I've never been a way with words.so like what do you say when someone is pessimistic about life. I duno what to say to rethink themselves. No I don't know what to do to comfort.i gave hugs but their not enough. Is it like a permanent feeling because I've never felt it before...help me?
Tell them to man up or suck it up because while they are whining over petty thing someone has it worse someone is starving in Africa someone is dying with cancer and the world doesn't roll around them or however that saying go it's cruel and they may be a little butt hurt but sometimes ppl need a reality check your an ass so you should be up for the job good luck bud
Pretty much every single time you're suffering a hardship, there's someone who has it worse. Does that mean all complaints are invalid? You're not allowed to feel sorry that your house got destroyed by a tornado, and your mother died from that same storm just because other people are worse off than you? I think that style of thinking is complete bull poop. Other people's misfortunes shouldn't have an effect on yours. By "you" I mean like a general you.
N has cancer for 16 years..n every time he prayed for some miracle it never happens..so what do I tell him then..
Also, some people physically can't snap out of their low self esteem. It's an actual mental condition, and you can't just say "snap out of it" in some cases. That's not how it works.
pls don't tell him what aj said nilla. u comfort him nilla boo tell him things will get better and u know it's hard but ull be there for him
^I agree. Make sure he knows he's not alone, that people support and love him. If it's bad, if he's severely depressed, then make sure he's not going to…?
Just wondering cos i know a lot of people who have low self esteem but always try to look positively on things
Low self-esteem and pessimism are two completely different things, both incredibly hard to change. With pessimists, you won't be able to get them to see things positively. Just let them be, don't argue with them. Agree to disagree would be a good way to put it. With low self esteem, compliments are good. Everybody likes a compliment; however, they need to change that for themselves through change. So whenever you talk to them just give positive reinforcement.
I'm trying too...All he does is hugs me..n spends time crying.n usually I won't say I hate crying but I don't take it fond about crying..n he's been sobbing alot. I ran out of tissues....and I'm being serious. No jokes.no pesky comments or I will hurt feelings. I just want to show a softer side and use words that I Normally would not. Because that only side I show the soft side is my boyfriend. But he's my friend. So do I say the same thing kind of like what I would say to my boyfriend?
