sadness help: Have you ever needed someone to tell you something honestly positive about yourself? - Help.com

I think we all do from time to time. No matter how self confident we are, we need reassurance and to hear it from someone else to truly believe it.

Thank you. I’m glad I’m not alone. I’m usually a very positive person, but my life has fallen apart this year and I’m lost in hopelessness.

Yes! I know that feeling! But I try to remember that even when I feel like theres nothing positive about myself that its not true. If you’re feeling like that then you could always try calling a family member or friend just for a chat, they’re bound to see something good in you if they’re your friends after all!
Help lines also are handy if you need someone to talk to…also handy at 4am in the morning when no one else is awake.

I think the same way, I need someone to tell me a good thing about me…even if i have to ask lol but i always follow up with something great about the person who i’m talking to

yeah..I think everyone needs it even if they don’t show it
it’s best if it’s a close person telling you..=)

You really understand how other people feel. You’re right! People do need to be reassured. That way they know they are going in the right direction!

Best wishes,

My new attitude is that if you notice something you like, think is pretty or awesome or any other good thing about someone (yes, even strangers) that you should tell the person. I have found it wonderfully uplifting to randomly tell others nice things about themselves. I’ve seen this lift other people too.

Thank you Kairi. I wish I knew if I were going in the right direction. I’m so conflicted.
