I have my own personal story on self esteem and self confidence but i wanted to see other peoples views, so i went to youtube.com and i saw a video of women that was telling how low she felt at that moment that she dont have any esteem on her self or just very low because she was sexually abused when she was a teenager.

That experience that she had when she was young made a huge impact in her self image and how she look at other people. She looks like its alone, unhappy and dont have any interest in what friends or other people do, at moments its angry, her situation is very especial so the process of healing might be long.

What i want you to see in that story is that if you dont love your self, you will not like other people and your self esteem and confidence will be low.
