where do you have high self-esteem? where is it low?

[layinback]

obviously, self esteem can be high in one area and low in another. men have a hard time admitting low self esteem so i expect much cynicism and ridicule.lol

 

[nodiggitydave]

my low self asteem would probably be about approaching women to date.

my high self asteem would be I believe myself to be intelligent, and that I believe with enough practice in the area, absolutely anything is possible.

 

[Sub-Zero]

low self esteem in alot of social aspects, low self esteem in looks and size and strength (most of the time).

high self esteem in self satisfaction, enjoying and accepting who i am and what works for me, and not worrying about changing

I'm most insecure professionally, it's impossible to know everything and I don't have the luxury of specializing. At least it motivates me to study.....

I think I constantly front to keep myself from sinking into an abyss that I am afraid I will not be able to crawl back out of...

I don't front to others ever.

I front to me CONSTANTLY.

Talk about a dichotomy.... oi

high? in the court room. . .i do (among other things) forensic accounting and then i testify as an expert witness. . .i love to sit in that damn chair and answer questions about what i do for a living.

low? eh. . .probably in the rack. . .i've been with my wife for almost 18 years (15 married) and i still feel the need (most of the time) to confirm that i did a good job. . .actually, i don't know if it's self-esteem so much as i like to hear that breathless voice telling me that i delivered the mail. . .er. . .male yet one more time

serious question...have you tried "medical" marijuana? it makes me able to enjoy what im doing instead of always worrying about what im not (or what i cant control)

I couldn't even fix my fucking brakes just now. Of course, it'd help to have the right tools, but I'm not about to fuck it up.

Even though I've been the recipient of various visual arts awards, there is forever a self-doubt about my capabilities. In the back of my mind I know there are far better technicians than I. The paradox is, I consider myself the consummate conceptualist...my ideas regarding projects are my greatest source of pride, I just need to learn to fabricate exactly what I *see* in the most refined visual langauge I can.

High self-esteem above my eye-brows, and low self esteem below that line.

my mom had borderline personality and she doted over me. in one sense, it energized my ego, and conversely, made me very insecure. through the years, i have learned to harness all of my character assets and liabilities and use them to help others. having blatantly crazy parents gives one an advantage because things are so fucked up, you have to do something! it is the children of seemingly "normal" parents, who fall through the cracks. i have low self esteem in most every area of my life and i use it to my advantage and besides, it empowers me to help others.

I was "born lucky," my genes are good.

my genes are good, a little wacky but good. from a strictly genetic standpoint our genes are excellent, we are tall, handsome, highly intelligent, charismatic alpha males. everyone in my family owns their business and makes plenty 'o jack.......we are all just a little eccentric. ( you are "eccentric" if you have money and you are "crazy" if you are poor ) lol

 

[borris]

I have high self esteem about my future


and low self esteem about my past

 

[jh1]

high with being a good parent, my career....

low with having healthy relationships, girls in general...

I've posted the crazy/eccentric difference quote on here...I understand. I consider myself "lazy" because I was a good athlete/student in high school without effort and it transferred through college. In my professional life, I compete against lifetime geeks, that look the part, and the way I look works against me. I have high retention of business but getting new business is a struggle.

the way I look works against me.

Looking like a complete douchebag dipshit usually does.
