How do you learn to be happy with yourself?

11

I’ve been single for a month. After the break up, I decided to go out with friends, and enjoy myself. That doesn’t seem to help since most of my friends have been two-facing me. I was hurt by this, and I even tried dating, and I was rejected.

I just don’t know how to take it or handle it. Help me, how do you be happy with yourself?

Look at the things you like in yourself and think about them more. Forget the negatives that have been zooming across you mind. Life’s too short for tears and sadness, don’t let it get the better of you.
Good luck.
And Smileeeee!!

Cute Quotes:
-When you smiled you had my undivided attention. When you laughed you had my urge to laugh with you. When you cried you had my urge to hold you. When you said you loved me, you had my heart forever.-
-Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It is already tomorrow in Australia.-

If you want to be happy for a couple hours – go get yourself some liquor
If you want to be happy for a day – go get yourself new hair style
If you want to be happy for a week – go get yourself a new house
If you want to be happy for a month – go get yourself a marriage

If you want to be happy for your life with YOURSELF

Live your life for others (serve others and have meaningful life)

Well, first, try not to reject your friends outright. When you’ve been hurt and rejected yourself, its really easy to see hostility where there is none. Make sure you don’t lash out at the people who really care about you, and don’t blow things out of proportion. Forgive when you can.

Learning to be happy with yourself is the whole Art of Life. Its something you practice and refine as long as you live. I’d like to give you a simpler answer, but neither you or the world and the people in it are that simple. For now, just choose to be happy as much as you can and point yourself in the right directions with things. Attitude is a huge part of the equation.

Be yourself! This means doing what you want, achieving your goals not living up to others expectations because this is your life. It’s just tuning out the little voice that says “What will so-and-so think.”
Accept and forget. Write down all your flaws everything you don’t like about yourself. Divide them into three columns: worth worrying about, who cares? and why is it even on this list? Rip them all up. This is not about changing yourself. This is being yourself and loving yourself for it.
Eliminate! Identify places or people or things that make you feel uncomfortable with yourself. Eliminate this stuff from your schedule. You have no time for people who don’t accept you.
Forget others’ opinions. If you feel fat because someone said you were they were probably covering up for their own insecurity problem. Feel superior, take the high road and forget.
Learn to forgive. Once your self-esteem is booming and confidence glowing I bet at least one person will be sorry. Forgive and forget. Everyone makes mistakes. You did by listening to them.

Listen to Christina Aguilera’s ‘Beautiful’ and other mood boosting songs.
If you’re forgiving someone make sure their apology is sincere. Mistakes happen but people should learn from them. Forgive once but never twice.
Try helping others. There is nothing like helping someone else to help improve your self confidence.
Do something that you want to do, or like, every day. Whether it be listening to the song that you love, or dancing in your underwear in your bedroom, it doesn’t matter. Just do it and forget about other people. Enjoy the moment of being free, and carry that with you for the rest of the day.
It’s your life; so live it how you want to! But be aware of what you are doing.

Learn to accept yourself for who, and what, you are. You are human, you have good points and bad. Just like your friends. When you can truly accept all of that, it won’t matter what anyone says about you, even if they say mean or hurtful things.

Look into finding new “friends” and maybe even a different crowd to hang with…unless you like that kind of treatment.

What it comes down to, is that you have to like and respect yourself, first and foremost. If there is something something you don’t like about yourself, change it; you’re the only one that can. Don’t buy into what others tell you when they talk about how THEY think you SHOULD be, be yourself, not what they want you to be.

Just suggestions.

you probably were very close to the person whom you broke up with…goes without saying….
Please remember, by being sad you are putting your guardian angel down…Always smile and be happy….trust me it is not hard…..
someone really TRUE, would fall for your smile..( Please don’t fake a smile).I am a Believer and a dreamer….and it is a great world to be in…come join me….

Ok, time for transformation. Seems like your old friends are out, that will make it more challenging.
Go thru your wardrobe and bring forward everything you say wow when you see yourself in it.
Trim your hairstyle, freshen your makeup selection, buy a new nail polish, introduce color.
Eat chocolate treats.
You don’t have to rush into another relationship, take your time.
Challenge yourself, go to a bar, or club yourself. Give yourself 30 minutes. If you want to leave after that do so.
many peope will probably come up to you since you are alone, be choosy.
Sometimes they will leave you alone, which can be good also.
Sit by other women, if that makes you feel more comfortable, up to you whether you want to talk to them.
Go to the mall, shop, don’t have to spend alot of money, take 5-10$ for inexpensive treat. Go yourself. Great do what you want, when you want to.
Take an art class, yoga class, martial arts, just few month session to start.
Go to a library, to section you like.
Start doing things yourself.
You will become self reliant and more appealing to others.

Imagine how you would like to be six months from now. Past all of this.

Set yourself goals and work to achieve them.

Be positive in yourself.Even if it is a cyclone outside tell yourself I’m going to have a fantastic day. Do this everyday it will come natural. Thinl Positive. Even if something happens to you negative that day /night look for the good out of it. Find some decent friends that aren’t two faced. If you hear gossip don’t repeat it. Just enjoy yourself, ignore the negative crap. This is most important BE YOURSELF and BE TRUE TO YOURSELF, you will go far if you follow this. Get up each morning and look at yourself in the mirror and tell your self I love you (whether showered or not) If you feel embarrassed don’t let people know, It is between you and the mirror
