List down the things you think you are good at.  Be proud of them.  List out things you cannot do.  Ask yourself whether you can live without doing these.  Ignore those you dont need to pursue. Pay attention and sharpen those skills that you wish you could develop.  Practice hard.  Dont rely on what others say.  Be good at your own work and have ample faith in yourself.  Whilst at this do not get self centred.  Look around and be sensitive to others needs.  Helping someone who is in real need will surely make you feel good - no great!  Go on - try to come out of your shell as the world outside is beautiful.  Good luck!

This can be tough, but has a simple solution that is difficult for some to acomplish.  First, you have to force yourself to look at yourself OBJECTIVELY.  No internal reflection at all.  Try to see you for what and who you are....not what you think.\n\nI like the answer regarding responsibility, but it only answered one facet of self esteem.  The next thing you need to do is understand self esteem and what it is.  Self esteem is how you feel about you.  The fact that you are asking this question tells me that you care about yourself enough to try to improve.  That is abmirable and worthy of esteem.\n\nNext, try to identify what may be damaging your self esteem.  Is it really flaws in you, or just people you are surrounded by inventing them?  My experience is it is usually the latter.  Try to spend more time with people that make you feel good and less with the ones that don't.\n\nRemeber, the fact that you care enough to develop and improve, makes you worthy of esteem and respect.\n\nBe Well and I wish you the best.

Well show your dependability, be on time to work, do not procrastinate on tasks, don't do the minimum, always go above and beyond the call of duty...if your company has trainings, go to them.  Show your employer that you are diligent and a hardworker.   Be nice to everyone in the workplace.  Make sure your appearance is always nice and groomed.  Dress for Success.  \n\nSo when your evaluation comes around you will be ready.  Read up on your position and see what you need to do for certifications, degree, etc.  I wish you the best!

A person should not rely on a feeling of confidence that comes from external means...ie...you say when you are "...alone or with a close friend..."\n\nWhat that tells me is that your feeling of confidence MAY come from the fact that you know your close friend's strengths and weakness and insecurities...and so you KNOW that in certain areas you are "stronger" or "better" or "faster" or whatever....and IN COMPARISON that makes you feel confident. Or, IN COMPARISON that makes you feel less insecure. What it comes down to though is YOU comparing your strengths and weaknesses to others you know to help YOU feel confident. \n\nThat works great.....until you walk into a room of strangers........and suddenly your knowledge of their strengths and weaknesses is nonexistent. NOW how are you supposed to judge yourself? Now that you know nothing about them...you lose confidence in YOURSELF, because you don't know how you "compare".\n\nYour abilities and strengths and weaknesses are not RELATIVE or SUBJECTIVE. If you run a 45min 10k....you run a 45min 10k. THAT is objective...not subjective. It is a GOOD time that may even be getting better. If you have a good knowledge base in some subject, or an innate curiosity about things...THAT is an objective, positive quality. \n\nI think the key is for you to realize your strengths and weakness in an OBJECTIVE way...ie, not comparing them to other people...but just getting "your hands and mind" around them on your own...sort of a self-realization thing or something. If you are pretty...you are pretty. Not "pretty compared to...", but just plain pretty. If you run well....you run well. Not "run well compared to..."\nIf you have curious, thought provoking questions....then you have \ncurious, thought provoking questions...period!\n\nOnce you become aware of YOUR STRENGTHS you will become more confident. Not "your strengths compared to other girls' strengths"....but just YOUR STRENGTHS. They exist whether you are alone in your room, or in a room of 1000 people. They don't leave you! Your artistic ability, your athletic ability, your academic ability, etc all stay with you!\n\nKeep THAT in mind next time your mind starts to doubt!!

Your pros should be strengths, and your weakensses should also be disguised strengths.\n\nExample:\n\nI'm working on being a little less detail oriented, but producing accurate work is important to me.  Sometimes I spend too long trying to find minor errors.

If you want to be successful, know what your strengths and your talents are and work toward occupations that capitalize on those abilities.  Be true to yourself and know both your strengths and weaknesses and accept that you have both.  Integrity, trust, and self-awareness will be the best start on the right path.  Dedication, pride, and intensity don't matter much if you are miscast in a situation and always struggling.

Make a list:  on one side show your good points starting at the top of your head and go all the way down to your toes.  On the other, list those things which you consider to be not good enough.  On the good points, consider how you could make them even better.  On the other side decide what you can do to improve them.  Those you cannot change, accept.  You will see beauty in many of your assets and when you compare your 'bad points' with other girls and women, you will soon realise that they are not that bad at all.  Usually I have found that most girls who have low esteem are quite beautiful and in actual fact frighten off most men.  They usually are from an only girl family with more than one brother.  Brothers can be the biggest down putters for girls.   I have no idea what you look like but I will wager a bet that you are a beautiful person, with a beautiful mind and many beautiful features.  Good luck and God bless...........

Are you asking me or yourself? Look inside yourself and think about your positive attributes. Not just physical but what you are good at. Then think of those things that you need to change.Look again at yourself and the answer will come to you.

I would start by saying that I don't believe I am actually 'weak' in any area. I acknowledge certain areas that I believe I can improve, (and then pick some relatively unimportant or irrelevant areas that have nothing to do with the nature of the job I am being interviewed for). This way I send them a message that I am the kind of person who tend to work on and improve my weaknesses.

Beleive in yourself. Make your own decision. Trust yourself. Love yourself. Be proud of yourself and decisions you have made (Specially the right decisions). Learn from your mistakes and improve your shortfalls. Listen to others and learn from their experiences. Know that you are as capable as others. Everyone makes mistakes, it is the one who learns from it that rises higher in life.

you have a very low self-esteem... but the good thing is, you KNOW you have potential, you'll just have to have faith in yourself... why don't you try something that would make you use your talents/potentials... for example, if you can act, then go and do an audition to a play or something... or if you're good at school, try applying for a scholarship program... in that way, when you get to achieve a certain goal of yours, your selfesteem will be increased... love what you are doing, love yourself... take risks... its part of living... sometimes, we have to fall in order for our body and heart to be prepared and be strong...;o)

Weakness is all in your head. Become more self confident, and you will be a stronger person.
