I've been trying to improve my self esteem for ages now, and I am starting to wonder if it is even possible? Seems like nothing I do (therapy, self help books, traveling, relationships, work success) gives me any more confidence, just a temporary boost. I'm tired of being told I need more confidence/ should get more self esteem! Does anyone have a success story to share?

Yes I have a success story...I was always shunned, told I was weird, fired from jobs for being 'different..' I was like geez I'm just bein' me guess the world hates me...got a job in family owned restaurant, a very eccentric family, where I FIT IN I could hardly believe it they didn't fire me, whereas I had been fired from 51 jons before, that. They teased me, accepted me, I dated on of their sons, the father and mother adored me, I helped them, worked all kinds of hours for them, it was great... I slowly started to get asked out, more, and more, until now I have the confidence to go right up to anyone at all and I fit right in and it feels good, feels incredible!! I no longer am told I am weird on a daily basis just extremely confident!! But enough about me, what about you? What is your heart telling you, deep down? God created you and he doesn't make mistakes!! Perhaps making it go from temporary to permanent boost means having certain types of people around that reflect, who you are, deep down, I noticed you have tried things impersonal yet not deep down relating personal and also do you have the right therapist? Tell us more? Perhaps soon it is you, who will be writing, a success story...
