Dear Karma,
Please help as what to do to ensure i have a happy life. My parents have stated lookimg for alliance for my marriage. I don’t want my past to haunt me in my future life.
I understand, that’s why I am trying to help you find out why you don’t love yourself. Because that’s what I see as the biggest obstacle for a happy life.
In my teens and youth, I also suffered from low self-esteem regarding my physical appearance, and was jealous of girls prettier than me. But my sense of lower self-worth didn’t start in my teens and wasn’t caused by my looks, but started much earlier in my childhood, with my mother criticizing me a lot. That’s how I started believing I am not good enough (which later included “not pretty enough” as well).
It would be important to figure out what’s the real cause of your low self-esteem. If you would like to tell me a bit more about your childhood, please do. Because that’s where the reason may be, as well as the solution for your current problems. If on the other hand you had a great childhood, with loving and supportive parents and siblings, then the reason is somewhere else.
