How is your self-esteem?

I guess you could say mine is high to middle. Because I'm pretty happy with myself and I've put most of my past behind me.

I'm stronger than I've ever been and just want to keep it this way even though I know I do have my bad days.

What would you rate your self-esteem?

Pretty high, I'm very happy with myself 16
High, even though I do have my bad days every once in a while 51
In the middle 47
Low, I'm working on it 58
Very low, I'm not happy with myself at all 42
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Wow, I'm shocked how many people have a low self-esteem. How come?

      You're on a website where people are questioning their actions (a symptom of low self-esteem). That's why the figure is higher than you think. Same thing as noticing a proliferation of small people when at a children's hospital.

      That's true. Some people can make a person feel like shit while others could make them feel wonderful.

    Quite high, I have liked 3 girls in my life, the first two I was afraid to talk to and had nothing in common with, the one that I like now i can talk to her easily, make her laugh and she likes video games and game of thrones and science, and I'm not even joking she's sooo hot, she is basically the female me, she doesn't know it but just from having a crush on her she has made me so happy I have a VERY good chance with her, she showed me the band OneRepublic and feel again is my favourite song I AM IN LOVE

    My self esteem is somewhat low, only because I find people around me almost intolerable to the point of severe isolation.

    I would say that I know I make a very valuable contribution to society and have literally changed many people's lives for the better. I have no reason to dislike myself - except for being too tolerant of my rotten mother. However, I did a test on google when self-esteem was mentioned on IIN before and I scored really low. Dunno why!

    Personally, I think everybody should be my friend.

      I never would of thought your self esteem would be low. You seem to be one of the most secure women on this site. But I wouldn't always trust online tests.

        Thank you. I must admit I don't really know what self-esteem means.

        I am able to walk into any pub / club on my own, I can handle anything that people throw at me eg. neighbour complaining about my son playing ball etc. I have no problem with my looks / weight, I enjoy my time alone, I am not criticised or belittled in any way ....

        Oh I don't know - maybe you're right. The google site was maybe an ad for counsellors and they were looking for new clients :o)

          Yeah I see no problem there.

          But I see self esteem as an excuse sometimes anyways. I read how high self esteem can be a problem too. Well the people with (fragile) high self-esteem anyways.

          Just be happy with yourself is what I always say and be nice to others.

      I surprised that it's low. You carry yourself like a proud and confident woman.

        So was I. I don't worry about myself very much as I just get on with things. I am very confident and find it funny that I have 'haters' for that in the pub.

        Can't remember what site it even was but it's not something I worry about. I'm just me and the impression I give is that I don't take much crap - therefore people don't test that theory :o)

    I went with very low. There are times when I'll think somewhat positively about myself, but something will happen and it goes back to being negative. I'll go up 2-5 levels only to fall backwards to 1:/

  • I dont really think about myself in relation to others or the world.

    So im not so sure what self esteem really is.

    I am actually not proud to admit this at all -ashamed even- but if I would have to rate my self-esteem it would be below zero (dramatic, yes).

          A lot of people read the site and aren't brave enough to comment. We people who say things, we're the visible minority of the iceberg that is above the water. There's a whole mass hiding below that remains unseen but nevertheless notices you and Saycheese.

            Yes.. the more time I spend on this site the more I start to realize that's true. people are also genuinely nice here, it's kind of refreshing to see. Unlike most websites this one seems 'real' (besides the trolls, of course. but they are entertaining to see too sometimes)

              Yeah, I think so too. The biggest problem is when nice people leave and the balance changes. I'd hate to see you leave. That's why I said something to make sure you know you are appreciated. :)

    My self esteem is alright. Around my friends it's very high but by myself it's alright. I've learned to accept my flaws and myself as a person but I'll admit that I'm not the most attractive man out there.

    Used to be abysmally low back when I was depressed, but now I would say that it is healthily high.

    Pretty high. It varies from very low to very high, I suppose my average at the moment is rather high though.

    Quarter to Everest. Whats that even mean? From now on ima say that as a response to how I feel.

  • OCDC

    It varies, but at the moment I've gotten to the point where I think so badly of myself that I don't care what other's think of me, (as it can't possibly be worse than what I think).

    Kind of bad, but positive in that I now seem more confident.

    Now that I think about it, it is really odd.
