People always say the most important thing about self improvement is to be yourself no matter what. But the problem is I don’t like who I really am. I put on an image of a nice happy go lucky person and I portray a certain level of confidence but when I’m talking to people I feel like I’m being so fake to the point where I want to throw up. Because I’ve got some issues that nobody can see and I’m an emotional wreck. I only feel really comfortable when I’m being grumpy and mean and carry an attitude. When I tell some one to fuck off is when I feel the most joy. I feel like the real me wants to kill everybody but I have to put on this fake personality around people I hate looking at myself in the mirror because I’m ugly on the inside. It’s hard to be honest when you don’t respect yourself. I just don’t know what to do anymore Its like im in movie and I have a split personality sorta like fightclub

I used to really like this guy. I felt everything was wrong with me and I needed to change to get him to like me back. It used to be everywhere I looked, there were always prettier girls, or more athletic girls, well you get the idea. I used to put myself down a lot. I figured it would all change when I got over him. Now I am over him and I put myself down even worse. I have a horrible self esteem. I don’t know what to do anymore. Please help!

I am a 31 year old guy that is not ugly or goofy(in fact, my closest friends think that I’m pretty cool), but I am shy when it comes to introductions. I have a natural tendancy to approach every aspect of my life with the desire to do my best, but I trained myself to remain humble…no matter how good I become. I sink down into myself whenever I get a compliment.
When I was in my early teenage years, I was picked on by the pretty people (you know, the popular ones whose parents were obsessed with how well their kids turned out). These kids were the ones that always got their asses kissed. Anyway, I made an oath to never be like those whom I despised, and now I’m stuck.
So here I am…All these years later… trapped by my conditioning.
I know that it takes baby steps to start the path of improvement, and I am looking for the right stimuli.

I have a fear of intimacy perhaps because i m low on self esteem.My biggest fear that leads to my fear of intimacy is that i m afraid i wont be able to come up to the standards of my boy friend…i might end up doing something that will turn him off.
