I basically have NO self-esteem. It has been squashed and trampled on since early childhood, creating in me extremely negative thinking. In fact, I have so much self-hatred that I fail to see why others could possibly like me. I need constant reassurance, very tiring on those in my life. Is there hope for someone who is in my position? I think if I could improve my self-esteem, maybe some of my other issues in life might just fall into place and not become real issues to begin with. Opinions?

I feel the same way! I sometimes think I suck the life out of the people that love me! I use to have pretty good self~esteem and a decent self~image! Trying to get the negative thoughts or as an old therapist called it "Monkey Mouth" out of my head can sometimes be impossible!
