What advice would you give someone with low self-esteem? I'm

Not everyone has to be the "life of the party," don't force it. The trick to confidence is to be comfortable in your own skin, to recognize your strengths & weaknesses and be OK with it. There's really nothing wrong with being a low-key, go-with-the-flow type of person in social situations.

Thanks for your answer!

The thing is, I would feel way better if I would be more confident.

Sometimes I am too shy to talk to some people, that I would like to talk to. Approaching girls is difficult for me.

I am ok with the way I am; I just feel that I could reach so much more, if I would do more of the stuff I wish I'd do.

embrace apathy, my son
the opinions of others are irrelevant. your own opinion is irrelevant. you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. let go, and conduct yourself accordingly.

Well, like anything else, social skills just take practice. Every now and then, just force yourself to do the "scary thing" (go talk to that girl, throw a party for your friends, etc) and you'll find that it gets a little less scary every time.

The point I was trying to make in my first post was basically just "don't try to be something you're not." It's a cliche but it's true, and lots of people in your situation will turn to bad advice from pickup artists, and things like that.

You say you've got a decent social life, so it seems like people like you the way you are, you just have to try a little harder to put yourself out there and go after the things you want. But please don't turn yourself into one of those guys that tries to "act alpha" when it doesn't come naturally at all, there is nothing more pathetic than watching a good person intentionally transform himself into a douchebag for the sake of social approval. Protip: They usually don't get the approval they're looking for

Stop reading the Red Pill. No one says "beta" but them. That alone should rise your self esteem.

Also, you must be good at stuff. Remember that no one is good at everything, so don't feel too bad for having weak points. Make sure you pay attention to your strong points, too.
