Why Do I feel People Can See Through me?

Why do I feel like people can see through me and know that I have low self esteem? even when I try to appear strong and secure, I feel they'll eventually realize that they can disrespect me or ignore me.

I know what you mean. Ironically the reason why you feel this way is because of your low self-esteem. You don't believe yourself to be truly strong and secure which makes you feel like an imposter and you think people notice it.

Once you gain more self-esteem you won't feel this way anymore. It's worth working on it and you can still put on your brave face meanwhile.

Yes, thank you. I'm doing work on self esteem.

I've posted something similar an hour ago. I too feel the same. This weekend I'm seriously going to see a therapist. Hang it there, things might improve.

I'm doing "inner child healing" I was abused so I do have a lot to work on respecting my self esteem. Thank you for replying I'll check your post.

First of all you are not a mind reader, so you have No idea what is going on in their heads, just as they have no idea of your thoughts. I think a few trips to a good therapist would help put you on the right road. You are special and unique in your own way. You need to learn to love yourself (I did), respect yourself and accept who you are, I learnt all these valuable lessons in therapy. I know you can do it, and it always helps to have some help. I live a free and happy life, I am confident and do not let other people bother me. So go for it Daedra, we will help you and offer support and love, sending Big Hugs....Sprinkle 1.....

I seriously feel the same way, I almost feel like people can see it in my face even when I try to hide it, they take advantage of me and abuse my weaknesses, you aren't alone and just know those people have weaknesses of their own too and if they are taking advantage of yours then are just projecting something they haven't dealt with at you and we just have to try to not take things so personal even though it can be literally impossible for a highly sensitive person, but I am right there with you! 💜

Hello Daedra, Am sorry you are feeling this way and are struggling with people seeing you from your point of view. I can understand that what we go through in life and our environment shapes us in so many ways. I grew up redrawn to myself and believing how people perceive me but after a while up, I learnt to believe and see myself as I am. People will always label you but that is their own opinion. What matters is how you see yourself. You can also learn to boost your self-esteem. Being strong can be developed until you master it. You are unique in your own way with great potential. Sending hugs and love your way. Check this out and I think you might find it helpful. bit.ly/38etFfY

Ollyview, Thank you, I was feeling good, but some situation brought me down to my insecurities again. I'm learning to let go of the bad feelings sooner and move on, as I know that nobody is perfect. Thanks for the love and hugs, right back at you, thanks!
