Senseless Symptoms?
by Anon
Another anonymous contribution of low-self esteem symptoms. What do YOU think?...
Feel that people don't respect me.
That I cannot be good enough like everyone else(cos they seem to be).
That I barely get things right and yet I want to be right a lot of the time.
There's a deep lack of confidence in me. I wish that would go away cos I think that's actually the main issue.
Feel sometimes that I am not cool enough because I am not white and do not have that long silky hair. This started when I started school in a European University.
I feel that I don't have tangible or technical skills. Feels like I wasn't born with any talent.
A New Way of Seeing Self-Esteem?
Steve here, and for the last few years (since Oct 2012, actually) I've been seeing (and thinking about) low self-esteem in a different way. Not as a problem to fix, but as feedback to notice (and nothing more). That's right: nothing to fix, everything to notice. And all this became obvious to me after being introduced to the Three Principles behind life (in Oct 2012).
I created a free 1-page Self-Esteem Guide that explains more, anyway. You can read about it here (NO EMAIL REQUIRED) - SMNash.com/self-esteem-guide/
Thank you - Steve
