Self Esteem

[Sparx]

Based on a conversation I had with a friend of mine recently.


Do you have high self-esteem?

Do you have low self-esteem?

Do you care what others have to say about you?

Do you like your appearance?

Do you like your personality?

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

I think my self-esteem is somewhere between high and low.

Do you care what others have to say about you?
It depends on what others say. Mainly yes.

Do you like your appearance?
Most of the time.

Do you like your personality?
Yes. Who would I be without it?​

I have fairly high self esteem. I like my appearance, and I like my personality. There are a few things however, that I'm a little paranoid about. I hate it when there are people behind me, wispering, then snickering. I always think they are talking about me. I also am somewhat self consious as to what I wear. I'll wear what I want, when I want usually, but I'm also the type that won't wear ____, because I'll get laughed at.

 

[Sparx]

and to answer my own thread,

My self esteem is okay.

I'm happy with my outward apearance.

I love my personality.

I could care less what others are saying.


I tend to get dressed and not look in a mirror before I leave the house.

Today I wore a bluetshirt, black tights, a short black pleated skirt, and green tennis shoes.

I obviously don't care if people are shocked or stunned by how I'm dressed.

 

[Maleficent909TL]

I have a high self-esteem. I really don't care what others say, unless they're saying it where I can't hear it, like if they're whispering behind me or something.

 

[latinachick69]

i have high self esteem, i dont really care wat people say about me, because if its bad its not like i think that of me, I like the way i look , and i adore my personality i wouldnt be me if it wasnt 4 it

 

[Loves Disney]

I have fairly low self-esteem. I'm not getting into why, though. lol.

 

[WORLDwarQUIFFLE]

Do you have high self-esteem?
Do you have low self-esteem?
Lowlowlow. But it makes me better myself.

Do you care what others have to say about you?
It depends. I don't want people to think I'm a bad person, but other than that I really wouldn't care.

Do you like your appearance?
No. Not really.

Do you like your personality?
Mostly, yes.​

First, I admire what Sparx does; she does her own independent thing. I admire people who do that. I think it would be too difficult for me...

Well, as to my self-esteem I thnk it's moderate. I have very fast metabolism. Therefore, I am skinny. When people look at me they say, "Damn Alexandra your so skinny!" And then they put their hand around my wrist to witness it themselves.

I hate when people do that. I have always hated it. I remember all throughout middle school I wore sweaters or jackets because I was just sick of people telling me those things.

The only way I could defend myself was to have a big attitude towards people. Now, don't get me wrong I wasn't mean towards people, it's just that I said really rude things when they said things about my weight.

People thought I was anorexic as well and I wasn't, is, or never going to be. I've always never cared about how much I eat because it doesnt matter how much I eat; I will always stay as skinny as I am and that's it. I've worked hard all through 4th-8th trying to ignore it, but it's hard.

You don't realize how hard it is for people to admit these things. Never in my life have I written something like this and especially to the public view and especially not my family. I've just been trying to change, ignore, and relax a little towards this issue. So far it's working because I have new friends who support me and don't care about it, make fun of me, or wrap their fingers around my wrist.

So as far as my self-esteem I think it's moderate and it's being worked on each day of my life. I think its working. And most of all, I'm happy with myself now.

I think i have high self-esteem. Im a kid who's in band.. I have 120 people ( some more then others ) that watch out for me.. I eat lunch with these kids every day, I spent forever with them during marching season and about 70 of them every day during band. We are all way different, but we have that place of music in common. And you know what.. I could really care less of what other people think of me? I mean i think im a very nice and friendly person, but im myself, which is normally shy around people i dont know that well. Yet once i know you, Im very talkative and you are just waiting for me to be quiet. I love my personality, because I think im such a happy go-lucky kind of person.. I love to look on the bright side of things, have a little fun in my life.. and laugh with my friends.. Although i have to say.. before i got to this point which is high school, Junior high was terror. There was not the unity of band, there were way to many cliques to count, and it was as if i was out of balance, and that was a time of my life when my self esteem was really low and i felt like i had to fit in. Now in high school where cliques are not so big, and band is filled with so many different kind of people.. it seems like not fitting in all the way is perfectly ok... because i have a tone of friends who like me just the way i am.. and i have made a few really super good friends that i dont know what id do without. And in my book even though i have tons of people who look out for me.. have a few REALLY REALLY good friends is better then having a million aquaintances. I just think trying to be something your not is not worth your time.. why not be yourself, and love life just the way it is for you! Ok.. im done rambling now

-My self esteem isn't too pretty. I am overweight, and even though there are many people who also have my body-type and are happy and have a high self-esteem, I'm not one of them. I don't really look huge or anything, but scales and junk don't lie. I do diet after diet, go to gym after gym, nothing that I stick to works. It hurts really bad, you know? To know you're stuck, at least for now. I have a good time when I'm not thinking about my weight, but when it's just me and the mirror and my thoughts (sorry if that sounded dramatic), I can't help but tell myself inside "you're so ugly and fat". I know I'm not ugly, but I can't help what comes into my mind.
-Do I care what others say about me? Well, I guess. People don't really verbally say anything about me, because everyone in my grade cares so much about themselves and other things I won't mention, that they don't even bother to care about me. Fine, whatever.
-And do I like my appearance...no.
-And, do I like my personality...yes. I think, no matter how much I want to be skinny, and no matter how much I want to be accepted, I might try to change my diet, but I'm never gonna act like a total jerk or be mean just to do that. Because that's not what it's about. I may not like my outside, but it doesn't mean I don't like what's inside. I think I'm pretty sweet, and I accept others for who they are. Even if I don't get treated the way I want do, it doesn't mean other people should go through life like that

 

[2HOT2touch]

yes, i have high self esteem, some people might call me concieted. As long as someone isnt saying something that is untrue about me, no, I don't care, it just boosts my self esteem even more, because they think im so important that they have to talk about me, i guess that makes me kinda famous. yes I do, i am pretty confident about my appearence, like i said, some people would think of me as concieted. I love my personality. Im a nice, sweet person that can get along with anyone pretty much as long as your nice to me I have no reason to be mean to you. but if your mean to me you better believe I will be 10 times worse to you. Im pretty crazy at times, but i have my mellow times as well. I pretty much love myself. lol if thats possible.

 

[VolleyballQt07]

Do you have high/low self-esteem? I'd say in the middle.

Do you care what others have to say about you? Yes. Although I shouldn't, I care what others think of me.
Do you like your appearance? Sorta. I have lots of muscle in me so I ain't tiny and I don't really like the zits and stuff on my face.

Do you like your personality? Yes.

 

[Pearls]

Do you have high self-esteem/low self-esteem?
Low.

Do you care what others have to say about you?
Yes. I'm really sensitive about that, actually. I try not to.

Do you like your appearance?
Depends on the day. Somedays I think I look sorta pretty, somedays I don't.

Do you like your personality?
I'm okay. Sometimes I get loud and I think I annoy people, sometimes I'm shy and don't say anything at all. Most of the time I'm just weird.
I guess I like my personality.

 

[Mickey1122]

My self esteem is very high, and I am very confident, but not to the extent that I am popmpous. You can tell when a person is confident by their body language. I have an upright, purposeful walk. I can spot it in others and in myself.
My answer to "Do you care what other people say?" has to be treated differently than all of the others. My school is very small, and everyone gets along with the good majority of the people around them. You don't hear much, "That outfit is terrible." That can be a good thing. I know that when people talk about me, it is generally in a positive light. I can't be bothered to worry about the people who don't like me. Why should I waste my time trying to convince them of anything. IF, however, one of them confronted me with an insult, I would be sure to tell them off for being rude.
I do like my appearance in general. I have mentioned in other posts that the only real cliques are goth and emo (please let's not squabble again). Besides them, everyone pretty much dresses similarly.No one really stands out as different. Here, the standard 'boy clothing' is collared tops or nice long sleeves with jeans or courdoroys.(sp?)
I liek my personality a lot.

 

[Johnny*Depp*lover]

Do you have high self-esteem/low self-esteem?
low

Do you care what others have to say about you?
Most of the time, yes

Do you like your appearance?
nope

Do you like your personality?
sometimes. sometimes if theirs an akward silence, i'll ask stupid questions or say stupid things to try to break the silence.

 

[OnceUponAStar*]

Do you have high self-esteem/low self-esteem?
Extremely low

Do you care what others have to say about you?
Yes, I care too much.

Do you like your appearance?
Perfectionism kills.
Do you like your personality?
Not Really.

 

[Mara]

Do you have high self-esteem? Do you have low self-esteem?
Somewhere in the middle.

Do you care what others have to say about you?
Yes. Not overly so. It depends on the person, though. If a random person came up and said something negative of me, then yes, I would feel hurt. But only mildly so, whereas if someone I knew personally said the same thing (and I knew they weren't just joking), I would be nearly crushed.

Do you like your appearance?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I'm mostly content with my appearance, but I don't like mirrors very much - I can always find some fault here or there.

Do you like your personality?
I think so. Most of the time. I do often wish I were more talkative/social, less self-critical. And I sometimes feel like I ought to be more empathetic than I am.

i am paranoid. i think that everyone hates me. if i tell someone an anaswer to a question and i know it's correct but someone else says another answer i know is wrong i will still start questionong myself and saying oh maybe the other person is right.
i don't like walking through big crownds or past gruops of teenagers on my own either i think theu're all looking at me even when noone is and they're all thinking errr look at her look at how she is dressed so last season and errr how ugly is she. and i try to explain myself a lot like if i wear a top i like but dont think my mates will i'm like oh i didnt want to but my decent ones are for some reason all in the wash.

i'm just paranoid i guess
