As a result of my self-hatred and low self esteem, I have minimal confidence in myself. My identity is frail and built upon something I don't even truly believe, I second guess myself in everything I do, and employ excessive invective against myself whenever I do anything wrong. I'm too scared of failure to even begin trying things, and as a result there is nothing I am passionate about. Are there any books that can remedy this?

Self esteem is a stupid fake idea invented by the sinister institution of psychology.

I can't tell you what your "low self esteem" refers to, but you don't have a fucking vial in your brain filled with self esteem liquid and yours is low.

i don't think reading will help much with any of this. Believe in yourself, whenever doubt creeps into your thoughts, immediately cast it away and don't be afraid to make a mistake, everyone does and no one should judge you for trying and failing.

tbqh study eastern philosophy OP, no amount of 'self-help' or 'confidence-building' books will help you like the inner peace and calm that can come from eastern philosophy

You need to be inspired OP. For example, after watching Sora Yori (yes it’s anime sue me) I was suddenly inspired to work hard, pass my exams, and then go on a holiday, where I actually met my current gf.

It doesn’t just have to be books. It’s all about witnessing something amazing and thinking “God I bet I could do that, being I have the will now to do so”.

How can you watch an anime where the main characters are females living on easy mode and be inspired?

It’s about the journey anon. Besides, I wouldn’t exactly call that completely easy-mode considering the girl worked everyday for multiple years of her childhood just to get the trip.
