Your self esteem or your self worth is something that is influenced by your immediate family, your friends and the environment you live in. When you were a baby and cute, you felt the love from mom and dad and that stayed with you from childhood until adulthood. If you were an unwanted child, your mom may have given you up for adoption for different reasons, at that point in time, your life and self esteem may have taken a different turn. The first step to regaining your self self esteem is to learn about yourself as much as you can to see where you are coming from then start applying some self love to remove all the years of build up hatred for self.
