Self-affirmation may be the first step.

Building your self-esteem may be a slow process but it is the most effective process because it tends to reflect on all aspects of your life. Peace an MBBS student talked about his struggles with low self-esteem and how it affects his studies but that is not a limitation for him to speak up. He spoke about his low self-esteem and how he is going to build it up to the best level it can be.
