I am new here.

I battle from low self esteem.

I am really glad that there is a forum especially for this.

I am glad that I am not alone.

I have always been this way.

All my life really. And I'm not sure why. I can't think of exactly what caused it? It's not really even about how I physically look (if that makes sense?) - although yes, I think about this too.

I constantly worry about what other people think of me, and I don't know why.

There's a part of me that thinks I should not be so sensitive to what others think of me. But a part of me is conditioned to. People can say the smallest of things to me really and trigger me. I don't know why I let it get to me. I look at other people and I think I know right. They wouldn't care. So why do I constantly worry about other people's opinions of me? I don't get it.
