    totally have the same problem..but like to a point where my bf is getting tired of it..so i would say..when your about to put yourself down just think of all the good things you have accomplished and just don’t let yourself do it..all you have to do is find some deep motivation to say “hey” im ____ and im a strong beautiful woman..and just give yourself little compliments here and there..go out and buy a cute top and feel good about yourself..just laugh off your mistakes..think about it this way..you only have one life to live, why waste your life on apologizing to everyone..and putting yourself down..if you make a mistake just accept it..and then immediatly move on..don’t worry you can do it! good luck! =)

    Start to apperciate everything and don’t be so serious all the time. Go to social events talk to new people and make new friends and do something nice for others and yourself.

    I’ve struggled with this in the past, and there are a few things that might help you: first, recognize that everyone does stupid stuff. No one remembers you like ‘there’s that girl that fell down that one time six years ago!” or for one silly comment, ect. If you’re anything like me, you forget other people’s mistakes but repeat yours to yourself forever… you’ve gotta learn to give yourself a little grace, allow yourself to be human. (Remember, you can’t learn if you don’t make a few mistakes) You wouldn’t keep telling your friend what an idiot they are for some silly thing they did/said days or weeks or months after they did it, would you? Then allow yourself the same grace. Don’t keep reminding yourself of your own mistakes, either. Chose to learn what you can from it, even if it’s not to ever do that again! lol…
    Secondly, chose what you focus on. Don’t look at all the things you’ve done wrong- look at the areas in your life that you’re doing well at, that you’re accomplished in, or that you’re improving in. Even if it’s just that you’re always courteous to people or that you are willing to smile at a stranger that you pass on the street… whatever it is, give yourself a pat on the back. We can’t decide what happens to us, but we can decide how we react to it. So, chose to be happy! Love yourself.
    Maybe decide to take on some new challenge or better yourself in some area- you’ll feel better about who you are if you know you’re improving and learning and growing.

    Firstly, you are not the only one who makes silly mistakes – if you watch anyone long enough even those you deem mistake-free will make a silly mistake.
    AND, often theirs are really, really silly and really worth being around to see happening.

    Self-esteem? It’s a hard one.
    I too used to give myself a tough time for making silly little mistakes.
    Nowadays I smile at myself – like me the adult watching me the child. Would I give a child as tough a time as I do myself? NO! Then why give myself a tough time? We’re all here doing our best and if we’re not hurting anyone what the hell – have fun and see it ALL as fun and learning.

    Being an Atheist I rarely quote Bible but ‘judge not lest ye be judged’ is something I’m usually mindfully aware of because it also means not to judge MYSELF so harshly.
    Again, if I’m not harming anyone, where’s the harm?
    I, all too often, make a fool of myself in front of my mates and I go red with embarrassment but tell myself that I’m performing a real service by giving them a reason to laugh and what better service is there than to cause laughter?

    Slowly be aware of the harshness of your self-judgment; journey gently.

    Self Esteem, TRUE self esteem comes from real accomplishment. Don’t put yourself down, as we ALL have issues, no one is perfect. Realize you are human, and imperfect, but the beautiful thing is that you have the power to change yourself for the better! Pick one silly mistake that you make a lot, and make a committed decision to stop making that mistake. You figure out a game plan of how you are going to do that, and then put your plan into action! It is not easy to break bad habits that lead you to make silly mistakes, but if you apply yourself earnestly, and persistently and never give up, you will amaze yourself with what you can do. Once you master one, move on to the next one. Each accomplishment will improve your self esteem.

    I used to lose my keys a lot. I had the bad habit of leaving them in many places. Now, I made a place for them, and I always put them there. Now I never lose them. Small accomplishment, but now I never waste time looking for my keys. Good luck to you.
