How do I overcome my lack of self-esteem and let him know I like him?

Question - (18 February 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 February 2011)
A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've liked this person( in this case,X) for about 2 years but never had the courage to go up to him and tell him. We're close friends now and even though I feel like I can communicate with him now, the horrors of him reacting negatively just stop me from bringing this up.

1. Big Fear of rejection

2. Assumption that He's going to say no

Due to certain events in the past week, My self esteem has just hit rock bottom. I feel like I can never be liked and I'm never going to have a person who would like me. I'm not bad looking at all, but this constant search for approval just drives me crazy. And so, even if I thought I'm not so bad looking, it turns into a "I'm ugly"

At home, I feel great, I feel beautiful, but as soon as I step out of the house, the insecurities just start to surface.

And these days,(I feel terrible while saying this), I feel disgusted with myself. I feel ugly and so, Insecure.

The other day my friend was questioning X if he liked someone. His reply was No and even if he did he would discreetly work towards getting her. ---This made me cry so much, coz I just know that, that girl could never be me.

I'm just feeling pathetic. And I can't stop crying.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 February 2011):

I would think that you might have got a feeling that he was interested. If you haven't you are risking a friendship. You either carry on as you are or make your feelings known. What's the worse that can happen - he says he doesn't think of you in that way. Then you'd know, but may feel a bit hurt. Or you could think about dating other people - it will give you another focus and who knows he may be a bit jealous.
