I am always depending on other people to build up my self esteem. I get compliments all the time. When I tell myself something positive it doesn't sound the same as when someone else says something positive about me. When I tell myself it doesn't feel good, when other people say it does. Is it like this for alot of people? I want to be able to build up my self esteem myself, how do you do it? It always feels good when other people say positive things about me but it doesn't when I tell myself. It's not the same feeling. If there are other people on here like this please let me know, thanks!
