Im an 18yr old girl who has always been struggling with her self image her life and im just trying to give myself a chance now and learn how to move past my insecurities and such. My goal is to build my self worth gradually through whatever tips you guys have. am new to 4chan so sorry if i didnt do smth right.
>>
you build self esteem by overcoming struggles. setting goals and achieving them. there was this study done i thin it was seligman who did study on rats or whatever and basically rats who were wild rather than lab rats have greater resistance to depression because they had to struggle for survival. and for them it was easier to develop resistance to depression too. and im mentioning this because i think low self esteem is a by product that comes with the feeling of helplessness
>>
but i might be hallucinating
>>
either way by seeking validation you wont build self esteem, youll only build ego
>>
>>33873810

>HURR DURR BIG BLACK GUY IM SO FUNI XD
>>
>>33873941
In all honesty. I would recommend staying clear of this platform. There is alot of bad stuff on here like porn, gore, racism.
>>
>>33873949
ive seen the first part but mostly all ive seen is anime and shitposting so far
>>
>>33873956
Ok. so you are somewhat familiar with what is on here then.
>>
>>33873959
lol in the last hour yes
>>
>>33873851
Fuck off retard.
>>
>>33873810

get a new hobby

you show up every week or so cosplaying as some tween you've found online, give yourself a username and ask for life advice

stupid fucking meme
>>
>>33873962
From the picture you posted I can tell your another leaf. Leaf is slang for Canadian.
>>
>>33873966
bro reverse search its me and im not a tween also how do u put gifs
>>
Start by not fishing for attention. Posting pictures of yourself is utterly stupid. You'll get vapid validation or be degraded. Likely both.

If you want to build self-esteem, get involved in any sort of project which will enable you to create something meaningful or train yourself so that you gain confidence.

You're a woman so it will be easy to surrender to fishing for meaningless attention instead of actual, real self worth. Don't do it. Get yourself focused on something that makes you more educated or skilled and the rest will follow.

I also encourage a martial art such as judo.
>>
>>33873966
So OP is actually some loser cosplaying as girl.
There is someone that does this?
>>
>>33873971
WHAT HOW U KNOW THAT
>>
>>33873979
it was a silly pic not a thirst trap tho? im trying to get into some sort of sports of smth but honestly it all costs alot
>>
>>33873982
Right on the streetlamp
>>
>>33873990
I don't give a shit what it is. Don't post yourself on 4chan you. Everyone who does this is a fucking idiot. Including myself over 10 years ago leading to being doxxed.

If you can't afford a martial arts school get a job and earn money. This is not hard.
>>
>>33874008
nvm i thought that was way more complicated
>>
>>33873810
Do the carpets match the drapes?
>>
>>33873982
Listen to >>33874014 he has a very valid point.
>>
>>33874014
i have a job that pays 22 and hour and i work 15 hours cant do more cause of schooling and church. still in canada its insanely pricey here
>>
>>33874031
Ok. Then don't do martial arts.
Either way get a productive hobby that involves surpassing your own limitations.
>>
>>33873810
What are you struggling about in regards to insecurities?
>>
>>33874024
yes i never thought of being doxxed tru, is there a way i can keep the writing post up but delete the pic attachef to the post?
>>
>>33874043
just generally personality or looks type of thing majority of people experience
>>
>>33874046
No. Unless if you delete the thread and start over.
Also its preferable not to use your actual name.
>>
>>33874037
thank you!!
>>
>>33874046
No. It's stuck forever. There are sites that archive 4chan posts even if they get deleted. Take my advice and never post yourself again. A church girl especially does not want to be associated with this place.
t. Doxxed Jew
>>
>>33874052
yes i used a random name, thank you!
>>
>>33874062
Your welcome.
And >>33874059 has a valid point.
It is best a girl like you absolutely stays away from this degenerate hellhole.
>>
how to i delete the thread then
>>
>>33874071
It doesn't matter if it gets deleted there is an archive website. https://archive.4plebs.org/
>>
>>33873810
Bro I swear every fucking thread
EVERY FUCKING THREAD
Whether you are real or not OP I DON'T CARE,
The bots realized that the way to get the most interaction is to start threads with "I'm a girl"
And literally over the past couple of months I've seen a shift right infront of my own eyes, of threads going from like 5% girls to 50% of all top interacted with threads being a "g.i.r.l" and someone asking about their "boyfriend", no, women didn't magically gain confidence and start using 4chan more, it's a chud or several chuds who activated a bunch of LLM's and unleashed them on this website so they can do their research project or just for personal satisfaction
Fucking hell man.
Some dude is laughing and you're all lapping it up like you are flies eating turds, dead internet theory is here and it's especially strong with 4chan. Absolutely disgusting
>>
>>33874080
yeah but isnt it still better so that people on here wont see it more too?
>>
>>33874083
um okay.. half of those words im pretty sure arnt real
>>
>>33874083
Yeah it is disgusting.
>>
>>33874086
They can look it up one the archive.
>>
>>33874104
yes but people just scrolling thru 4chan wont stumble across it is what i mean. clearly from these replies im getting, theres a bunch of weirdos online so im following whatever th eperson above before said
>>
>>33873810
Practice four things at least 20 minutes a day every day for the next several years. Every day. Also, minimalism, save, and invest.
>>
>>33874119
do u have any recs on what those things could be? ive tried all the usual stuff but mayne like rlly niche stuff will be cool
>>
>>33874134
what the fuck
>>
>>33874139
Do yourself a favor and NEVER come on here again
ABSOLUTELY NOT
>>
>>33874155
thats the plan after i firgue out how to delete the thread somehow
>>
>>33874160
It will expire after a certain amount of time. But when its archived people can still find it. You made enough mistakes on here, im sorry.
>>
>>33874168
thank you anyways
>>
Just stop posting and the thread will eventually die. Do not reply to it anymore.>>33874160
It won't delete otherwise. Just close it and walk away.

Enjoy your martial arts. Lol
>>
>>33874168
You SHOULD NOT post a picture of yourself, especially in public. People can easily triangulate where you took the picture from.
>>
THIS THREAD IS CLOSED

>you build self esteem by overcoming struggles. setting goals and achieving them
not OP but goddamn I wish it worked this way
for me it seems to be more like:
>I have a goal I want to accomplish
>I work to make it happen
>by the time I make it happen, whatever I needed to learn to do it feels normal
>nothing I do actually helps build self esteem, because by the time I did it, it's not impressive to me anymore
>>
>>33874083
I don't believe there are 18 year old girls here for a second
>>
Do you want to hear that you're cute?
>>
>>33873949
fucking faggot, kill yourself
>>
>>33873810
>Im an 18yr old girl who has always been struggling with her self image her life
>create a thread on 4chin
>gets instant attention and gratification
That's how people start being addicted to online attention. And everyone ITT is to blame. I would've been the same if I was a 18 year old girl
>>
>>33874014
>>33874046
>>33873949
4chan isnt that bad just dont use your real name, dont post yourself and stuff. Girls do use 4chan I belive (not larpers)
>>
>>33874198
because all your goals are artificial. some people will be satisfied with achieving artificial goals but most will not. try taking up more difficult challenges then. people dont have to struggle for survival and thats why people need to have hobbies now as an only way to have the sense of purpose (having a goal, putting in effort, and achieving it)
>>
>>33877156
yeah im 19 and a girl and i use 4chan all the time im schizphrenic tho
>>
>>33874198
It helps for the average person. Doesn't work for mentally ill people though.
>>
>>33877171
what's even the difference between an "artificial" and "real" goal, though? get the feeling you're just talking out of your ass, having been through the cycle of thinking "this will be the achievement that fixes my self esteem" only to reach that goal and find it did nothing for it many times
>>33877190
>Doesn't work for mentally ill people though
so basically it's fucked and nothing can fix it?
