Growing up I had low selth esteem and no confidence but now I have bags of confidence and a good opinion of myself. I'm truly turning my life around for the better in so many different ways.The only problem is now that I realize how people treated me in the past was unexceptionable.When I talk to my dad he doesn't show that he's paying much interest with his body language and he once said to my mom in conversation while I was present that I have more faults than most although I am a genuine lovely person for a matter of fact. When I talk to my mom about my thoughts she doesn't really listen either, she will talk to my 2 years old when I in the middle of talking to her. She also said I have the shad bits of her and my dad in her when I was 12 because I'm scatty like she is ect. I know my parents care they just don't see my value or ashume I will never amount to anything significantPlease help me someone

I feel a'lot better now and I'm not concerned with what my parents think about me anymore; it was just upsetting at the time to think about my hurt.
I think I'm just going to invest the same amount of energy in to them as they invest in to me.
I'm doing a Makeover next week so next time I see them both they can see how great I will look and how far I've come. I would love to say to them watch this space but I don't need to because my actions will say it for me when I'm very successful later on in my life.

Life is too short to spend your time on people who don't value you due to their own personal issues. It's hard when they are your own parents, but not all parents are good parents. I suggest that you limit the amount of contact you have with them, and put your energy and emotions instead into people who value you and treat you well.

You have confidence and have turned your life around, you've done that on your own. So good for you. Just keep it up, you know inside your OK.You don't have anything to prove just be yourself, its working fine.
