How is your self esteem? Are there certain things that trigger your positive or negative thoughts about yourself? Do you have any tips on how to improve self esteem?
I'd consider myself to have low self esteem. I don't feel that I'm very talented or "worth" much despite what my boyfriend and my mom say. It's hard to explain but I think in very black and white terms, I often say I'm sorry and I don't even know why, and if I can't do something perfectly I feel like I failed. It's tough and I've been like this since high school. I think the perfectionist in me started at a very young age and started in school. I'm not sure why these feelings are still lingering around like this when I know there's good things about me. I'm also negative even though I try not to be. I brace myself for the worst so I don't get disappointed when everything hits the fan. Does this sound like you?
Maybe you have positive self esteem. What do you tell yourself that you believe to be true and makes you feel good about yourself? Why do you believe it?
Do you have too much self esteem? Are you arrogant?
Just curious. =]
