You can stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself you’re not ugly, and tell yourself all the good things you like about yourself, but when you still don’t meet people, nobody wants you or will touch you, and you can’t even find anyone on the internet to talk and have a connection with, well, all of that shouts a lot louder to me than any self affamation process does. Having someone to talk just does wonders for me. There just isn’t anyone who wants to.

Positive self-talk can help they say.
I think that requires talking in the mirror.

I think the whole self esteem stuff is a bit overrated. I'm not suggesting you should loathe yourself, but I don't think this ideal of loving yourself is some perfect goal either. There is a place for self doubt, for self criticality. Judge yourself and do so harshly. It will make you a better person.
TheLoadedDog said:OK, I'll try a different tack.
Look in the mirror in the morning, and say (loudly):
"GOOD MORNING, YOU MAGNIFICENT *******"
