How can I build self-esteem and form deeper connections with people?

[clearskiess]

İ hardly make connections with other people it really upsets me I feel like they think I'm disturbing I don't know why I feel like that...

Don't think inwardly, think outwardly. Human beings are naturally self absorbed (and becoming more so with each generation). The quickest way to make a connection to someone is to ask them a question about themselves or an interest of theirs that you've observed. Generally people's favorite subject is themselves. The more people that engage you back will just naturally increase your self esteem. You'll realize that self worth was ALWAYS there inside you. It just needed to be realized.

As far as being disturbing. Everyone is weird. You just need to meet the the people with the weird that matches yours.

I think that a first good step would be... to decode that feeling of yours

why would you be disturbing, in which ways? and, are you actually disturbing or is that just an idea in your head, lol...

Self-esteem can be built through a change in your thought patterns. The easiest way to do this is things like daily affirmations that encourage your sense of self and confidence. Also, projecting confidence is incredibly easy even if you severely lack it, 90% of confidence is just faking it. As for deeper connections, what efforts have you made with your friendships in the past?

Self‑esteem grows when your internal dialogue becomes kinder and more accurate. Often people don't even truly know themselves, whether it be positive or negative.

Talk more with the people at work, at sports, at interest/hobby groups...

Just chat about stuff, the connection will form naturally

Letting go what people think of us and just be proud being you. And the right people will find you, vibe with you, & love you for you :)

Building connection starts with being able to be open with each other, learn about each other, and being authentically yourself. Make time to talk, do things you both like or explore new things, and have fun :)

Just take your time and really get to know them and most importantly let them get to know you
