It's something that was always pointed out to me. I see a therapist every week, have tried things from daily affirmations to meditation to just doing stuff I enjoy. Still, I feel as though my self-esteem is always something I will need to be working on. Even now at 34, I still have days where I feel like dirt.
I'm often told "you can't love anyone until love yourself" and that I need to work on my self-esteem if I want to find a partner. At this point, if that's the case, then I'm probably never going to find that special person for the reasons mentioned above. I sometimes ask myself if my self-esteem is that low, what's the point in trying?
Is it possible to find love and be happy even if my self-esteem needs work?
