Search Results: self esteem and confidence

I absolutely would; because I got bullied a lot back in middle school and high school. In middle school it was more physical, while in highschool it was more verbal. I was nerdy and geeky (still am) so I was deemed as being uncool by the majority low IQ Latino/Mestizo school demographics (whom mostly dropped out), and thus, was worthy of bullying.

I was also out of shape, weak, short (still am), had very low self-esteem and confidence, and didn't know how to fight. Of course, the bullies were mostly male, and I felt that they did so sometimes out of spite due to girls flirting with me. Me being bullied turned girls off, and as a result, they quickly lost interest in me once they witnessed it. It was a kind of social proof that they didn't want to be seen with someone uncool and bullied a lot.

Nowadays, I'm super strong, practice half a dozen martial arts, am in the Army Infantry, and have accomplished a ton since then, so I have sky high confidence. I've gone through a complete transformation since then, and it wouldn't and hasn't happened nowadays.
