I'll be honest here, but I still find it hard to believe that you have low self-esteem. I have yet to find a valid reason for you to have it. Yes, I am aware about how people IRL treat you on occasion, but it's still no reason to have it. You are you and no one else, so no need to try to be like everyone else.

Same goes for many here. It's likely that us denizens of the internet are all here due to a lot of us having low self-esteem, especially in social situations IRL. There really is no reason for any if us to be. The piece of advice I gave at the end if the last paragraph can be given to basically everyone with low self-esteem, though it may be a tad cryptic lol.

I used to suffer from low self-esteem, and in many ways I still do, but then I realized that I was forcing myself to do things to make others happy and these were the same people who made me have low self-esteem in the first place, so I just stopped doing those things and happier for it. Heck, I even found people who don't force me to do things I don't wanna do and I would be more than happy to do things for them.

So, to anyone in this situation, stop forcing yourself to make others happy thinking that it will make you happy and start doing what YOU want to do and do things that would help you become who YOU want to become. You'll feel better about yourself when you start doing that. If you still need companionship (which you likely do), then find others doing what you are doing and talk to them as they are likely the same people who won't force you to do things you don't like. Oh, and everyone makes mistakes, so don't get bent out of shape when you do so. Just fix it as best you can and move on.

And what I just said more or less shows a rather universal human experience seeing as this advice is being given in response to someone with Asperger's and I myself had this happen due to me being gay. In other words, we are all human lol.
