Helping To Self Esteem | Uncategorized | self esteem, improving self ...

Oftentimes, we tend to forget how important we are to the society; to our family, to our friends, to our partners, to our colleagues, to everybody around us. Each one of us has our own role in the society, own importance or significance.

Sometimes we feel like we are all alone, like nobody ever cares for us. Some may even tell themselves that, ?I have no use at all.? ?My life has no purpose at all.? These are some implications that an individual has no self-confidence, self-respect and self-esteem. We of course know some friends, family members, colleagues, classmates and the like that has this kind of attitude.

As I have mentioned earlier, we sometimes forget how important we are to the society, same is true with our loved ones. They mean everything to us, specially our parents; our dear mother, dear father, brother, sister, best friends, classmates and even our partners. We as their trusted ones feel the need to help them kill this kind of attitude. We as their closest ones have to have the common sense to feel that we are obliged to help them improve their personality and to help them adopt easily to any kind of society they get in.

Here are some ways for us to help in growing the self-esteem of our loved ones and even all the people we know who lack self-esteem. These are some easy ways, hassle free and would not take too much of your money or time.

The isolated family member:

Most of the families are into gathering once a week for recreational purposes, to meet some other family members and to socialize with relatives. In here we could really see what kind of family we have. Sometimes, we have these relatives so isolate themselves from the majority. Forget those who are quoted as ?kill joy?, you would know if that person don?t want to mingle with the family.

You would know if someone lacks self-esteem if he could not talk with other people, just stay in the corner and is blankly staring at something. As a relative, do your part, approach him and talk to him. Ask other family members to join you talk to him. Make him feel that he is not alone. Make him feel valued. If a person who lacks self-esteem is being approached by people, he would feel comfortable; he would feel safe and would feel valued. In this way, his self-esteem would grow as well as his circle of friends. By the next time, he would learn how to talk to random people and would approach them even without you.

If ever you have a relative, a brother or a sister who does not have self-confidence, who does not like the way they look and the like, go approach him or her. Take them to a nearby salon, treat them on a make-over. In this way, they see what difference it made to them and they would appreciate it. Before you all go to sleep, approach him or her and tell them that, ?You are beautiful.? This would increase their self-esteem because they are being appreciated by someone they love the most. Eventually, they would learn how to care for themselves and sooner or later, they would forget their old attitude of disliking the way they look. Before, they are afraid of going out, now, they are more than confident in displaying themselves. Your simple make-over helped a lot in growing their self-esteem.

Those are some common problems that you aloe can solve. Next in line are common problems regarding self-esteem on our friends, let?s do the move and help them out.

It is common in a classroom setting, or canteen setting to see someone who is being bullied for being so weird, for being so silent or for being so small, in the eyes of many. They are oftentimes called freak, nerd, weird and many more labels. Actually they are not; they just lack self-esteem, or self-confidence.
This is the part where you would feel the need to help out. What if you are the one in his situation? How would you feel? Uneasy, not good and small, right? So go ahead, approach him and do your part.

Talk to that someone, talk about how he feels about the school. Ask him if he needs assistance with some home works or projects, if he needs help with some projects. This would start a lively conversation. In the middle of the conversation, ask him to go with you to the counter and buy some food. Ask him about his previous school, ask him anything that is interesting. Ask your friends to join your conversation. If you have some party, or some group activities, ask him to join the group. In this way, he will be able to interact with many people. He would be able to know what to talk about and what to say for he has started it with you. He will then feel that he belongs to a group, that he could be able to talk to anybody and he has the capability to entertain people with his own words. Eventually, he could be able to adapt to any kind of environment he is in, and this is a good sign of growing self-esteem.

Now you have taken part in the life of a random stranger, let us now move on to the life of a close friend. There are many ways on how to grow self-esteem. The things I shared to you are the most common problems and most common situations that have easy solutions.
Do not let someone stay on their shells, it is not easy being there. Be happy that you are blessed enough to have been given enough self-esteem to help others grow theirs.

If you have all the power to help out others, go, help out. You would not lose anything if you try to help others with their difficult situation. Imagine a world with no isolated people, isn?t it lovely?
