How to stand strong when life gets tough?

[Anonymous]

I can't focus on my own life because of people's thoughts. I'm under pressure and I can't plan my goals. I can't spend time with myself or people. I can't accept myself and it turns into depression and low self-esteem. Why are people so like this? How do I stay strong

By realizing that you get to choose what you do and how you react to what happens in the world around you. You will not have control over your life until you decide to take control of it.

Self esteem is something you gain with time and memory, focus on being a good student or employee or athlete and your confidence will grow with experience.

You must study God, His Natural System, and His Program for Human Life on Earth.

It will not alleviate *all* of your problems, BUT it will gradually give you the *resiliency* to overcome many of your problems. It is also supposed to give you hope and motivation, though I can't say that I've figured out those parts yet.
