Is Poor Self Esteem Stealing Your Life?
There is a certain group of people who move effortlessly through life, accomplishing the things they set out to do, enjoying the things they have, and going where they want, when they want. While you find yourself in a day to day struggle against poor self esteem.
Do you watch in total amazement as some people, blessed with unstoppable self confidence seem to breeze through life?
Your only course of action is to sit idly by and watch as they:
1 - function effortlessly in any social setting
2 - are completely comfortable stepping out of their comfort zone
3 - are confident and self assured in their decisions
4 - exercise seemingly unlimited powers of persuasion, and
5 - exhibit total confidence in their innate ability to obtain whatever they want.
This group makes life appear so easy. On the other hand, life for you is filled with agony.
Why does everything just fall into their lap, and nothing into yours? You work just as hard, or even harder, and yet nothing comes your way.
Like most woman, you have hopes and dreams, a beautiful home, a fulfilling marriage, wonderful clothes, and a rewarding, active social life. But those things haven't come to you. Why?
You are acutely aware of your self esteem issues. Perhaps you even feel this is why you have never achieved your dreams. However in reality, poor self esteem is merely the symptom of a deeper, hidden issue.
That deeper issue is the real cause of your daily struggles and poor self esteem is simply a symptom of that issue. That issue has caused you to become your own worst enemy.
Rather than creating success and happiness, that underlying issue has caused you to undermine and destroy the things that bring true success and happiness.
Your self esteem sinks lower and lower as success and happiness continue to elude you. It's important to recognize poor self esteem for what it is, a symptom, not a disease. Poor self esteem will go away as soon as the issue is corrected.
You must identify that issue as soon as possible and put it behind you. Once you do, you'll be shocked at the speed with which your life turns around.
Imagine your life without poor self esteem clouding your thoughts. Imagine your life with unstoppable self confidence.
Imagine yourself:
1 - totally comfortable in any social setting
2 - fearlessly stepping out of your comfort zone
3 - making confident decisions
4 - having persuasive, influential power
5 - being so self confident, you are unswayed by others, and
6 - having an internal power that truly drives your life
With this unstoppable self confidence, every aspect of your life changes almost over night. Weakness and indecision are gone from your life. You are no longer influenced by poor advice from others. You have the power to live your life on your terms.
Your belief in yourself becomes unshakable and your ability to achieve becomes unstoppable. Other people start looking to you for direction and guidance and friendship. For the first time in your life, you are living life as you always dreamed it would be.

How to handle this situation?
OKAY so, I apologise in advance for two things: firstly, I posted a question about this awhile ago, and secondly, this is going to be kind of lengthy.
I hesitate to use the word love, but it's not infatuation and 'crush' is too immature, but I'm kind of a little in love with a coworker of mine. I've had feelings for him for two years, and until recently, it never occurred to me that I could actually take a step and ask him out, (I have poor self-esteem, but that doesn't play a very big part in this because I tend to forget my issues around him). So, a few weeks ago, we went to the opera. The following week he invited me to play scrabble with him and another coworker, (we're pretty good friends at work). Then, this past Saturday, he asked me if we were going to the opera again that evening, to which I replied yes. On the way there we gossiped about two of our friends dating and I ended up getting him to admit that age was not so important as maturity, which is relavent because he is eight years my senior. We have so much in common and we talk an awful lot when we're around one another. He teases me at work and does things for me, like favours without my asking him to do it. For example, I asked him when I wasn't working if we had nail clippers in the café and he went and looked for them for me, (needless to say, we had none). When we went to the opera for the second time, we had to sit in two different rows but near one another because we arrived late. During the first intermission, we got up and talked a bit, but then he decided we needed to find seats next to one another. On the way home, all he did was ask me questions about myself. Every now and then, I catch him looking at me, and he always smiles at me. BUT, he's also just a really nice guy and I feel like he probably does this to everyone. That, and, he's pretty much just apathetic and a little unsocial, and since I've known him, he's never dated anyone. That being said, I'm exactly the same way, so as one can imagine, we get along really quite well. I sent him a message on Facebook asking him if he is free this Friday, to which he replied that he was. My response was an invitation to an art show with me, but he hasn't responded yet. I did see him today, but he didn't say anything about it, so he probably just hasn't been on the computer today. However, he doesn't always respond to my messages.
SO, given this ridiculous information, is it worth it? I've been mad all summer about this and he doesn't seem to get the hint that I'm wild about him. Some of my coworkers and many of my friends know, but he doesn't seem to see it. Does he like me, do you think? Is it worth it? One of my other male friends told me he was interested in me, and I couldn't go out with him because I couldn't stop thinking about this guy. How does one maturely tell someone that he or she is interested in someone? Any advice would be well received. Thank you in advance!

Help with 11 y/o son.?
My wife and I are having some troubles with our oldest He's generally a good kid, but about once a month for about a week he's just 'hell on wheels'. He becomes VERY irritable, explosive, angry, hostile and inconsolable. THis generally lasts about 3-4 days with a big blow up on the last day. He explodes over little things, like his little brother talking or "being annoying", etc. In general he doesn't seem to be an overly happy child and is kind of tense/serious much of the time. He does have a good sense of humor though and on good days is a riot. He has trouble with peer relations but gets along great with adults. He also has poor self esteem and often tells us how bad he is at everything. He pretty much refuses to talk about things that are bothering him so we don't really know until he's at one of these points and then EVERYTHING comes out and it's usually to much to deal with all at once.
We're really worried about him as he is entering middle school and puberty (if not already there) and don't know what to do to help him. Or, is this "normal". Like I said he's our oldest and I don't remember being this temperamental at his age.
