Help Someone With Low Self Esteem

Whether it's your friend or the love of your life, all people like to have high self esteem. However, everyone has their inner weaknesses, as well.

Steps

 * 1) Compliment them often. When they do or say something sweet, considerate, sincere, funny, whatever, take it graciously and say it was a nice gesture or they are funny.
 * 2) Be sincere. Although we as humans can't always handle the truth, it usually is the thing that we must hear. If the person asks you a question, answer it honestly and nicely without hurting their feelings or overdoing it.

Warnings

 * Don't let them think you are into them. If they like you, too, and they think you like them, they will just have lower self-esteem when they find out you don't.
 * Don't make jokes that could be taken offensively. It could hurt more than have the desired effect of making them laugh.
 * Don't lie to make them feel better. It will come back to haunt you.
