A lot of people take other's opinions to heart. I used to take every negative thing that was said to me to heart. I would be so sad when people would make fun of me in middle school. All my life, I have had a very low self esteem. When my mom was married to some con man, he would call me hurtful things, and my confidence would just go down. These days, if people say something about me, I just try to brush it off and go on. My self esteem has risen since my past experiences. The progress that I have made throughout the years is very good. I'm proud that I was able to bring myself back up a bit, even if I cannot completely become confident.
