My boyfriend has low self esteem issues and I dont know how to help him. He doesnt have anybody else to talk to on this topic and I already don't feel good about my body. He talks to me about how he hates his face. his body, and his appearance in general. At our school he generally gets bullied about his weight and how he looks. It upsets me so much that he has to put up with this and I really dont know how to help him.

      Unfortunately you can’t give him self esteem. But you can help put him in situations, places, activities that you know give him confidence. Is there something he is really good at, or a place he really loves? Compliment those things, I feel like people try to compliment people on the things they hate about themselves and it just reminds them that they are insecure about that in the first place. And compliment personality traits too. I hope all that made sense.
