Okay, this will be blunt, and harsh, but true.

Stop whining. Stop caring so much. Stop trying so hard. Stop "being a loser". You are playing into the stereotype.

It all starts with you believing that you have "low self-esteem". What are you good at? I'm sure there is an answer to that, and when you realize the few to a lot of things that you are good at, or enjoy, then use that as a means of creating some sort of identity for yourself; rooted in the things you know and enjoy. The trick is, at some point, you'll realize it was who you were all along, but now you'll be confident in it! Hooray!

Also, I'm a firm believer that people, no matter how insightful, are usually the opposite of what they describe themselves to be because it becomes an issue of "if you say you are, you clearly aren't". It's a shot in the dark but I bet on the inside you are actually a self-righteous prick who thinks he knows better then the rest of the world. It's cool, so am I. And I used to be all "self-loathing and miserable and 'no-one-understands-me'" but I'm not so I don't anymore.

Just be yourself. You'll do better.
