How to develop self-esteem?

18 year old, feel the same way, you aren't alone anon

Used to be like you too and really suicidal, I only found my self-esteem when I found out I was really good at being a mechanic at the age of 29. A huge chunk of my self-esteem is based on how I'm really good at my job and people respect me for it. It took me a long time to get this far though, good luck.

Don't compare yourself to others around you. Set your own personal goals, whether that be making it out of bed and to that interview or buying a house. If you don't go do that job interview you aren't even trying at all. How could you ever expect to do something good if you don't try? If you want to stop feeling like shit you have to do something self-rewarding and rise above the depression and self-loathing. It might be a little insensitive, but so is the world. Give yourself a slap in the face and never stop trying.

1. Get a job you like with people you enjoy.
2. Don't ruminate on stupid shit.
3. Nut up.

I've been doing the headspace ,self esteem , and it helps.

This was me up until 21, finished school at 17 and done nothing, hardly left the house. The longer you stay like this the worse it will get. Once you start working your self esteem will get better. I was exactly like you long story short got forced to work within 3 months it cured my autismosis. Go to your fucking job interviews and stop wasting your life you need to TRY until you succeed.
