I can suck at anything you can suck at but better...
I can suck at anything better than you!
No, you can't. Yes, I can!
No, you can't. Yes, I can!
No, you can't. Yes, I can! YES, I CAAAAN!!!!


Couldn't resist :).

EDIT: Had one too many "Yes, I can!" in there.

A really common occurrence I've noticed here on the Escapist is people complaining about how much they suck. Are self esteem issues something inherent amongst nerds/gamers, or do we just have an over-representation of angsty teens?

Anyway, I was wondering about the flipside of this. The Escapees who think that they're actually awesome.

So Escapist, do you think you are awesome? And why?
Eh, a bit of a condescending message to send out isn't it?

I'm a public performer who has some issues, but I've identified them and for the sake of self-improvement only am working on them.

Do I inspire or deserve the ability to provoke awe in others? You don't, I don't, most people don't.
Condescending how? The nerd/gamer bit? I consider myself one. Hell, I sell computers and electronics for a living.

And:

Causing awe or terror; inspiring wonder or excitement.
The waterfall in the middle of the rainforest was an awesome sight.
The tsunami was awesome in its destructive power.

(informal) Excellent, exciting, remarkable.
That was awesome!
Awesome, dude!


Yeah. If you're just going to say stuff like that, don't bother.

Self-esteem isn't a problem so much as the whole atypical autism thing.
Uhhh, what does that mean?
Autism tends to make people incredibly shy. It's not because he has low self esteem, it's just his genes.

Everybody knows I am the best thing since sliced bread, why would I have self esteem issues?

To be realistic, I have insecurity since my past couple of ex-girlfriends destroyed my self-esteem by being complete bitches (I apologize to all women on The Escapist for use of this word) and screwing me over.

I am awesome and sucky...

Well, I'm not an immodest man by any means. In fact, I should usurp the titles of Pope, Caliph and Khan if I felt them to be any better than "Lord". Quake before my insultingly overbearing self-esteem non-issues!

I think I'm alright. I wouldn't mind there being a few more of me in the area.

Can't it be both? Or is that just me? >_>

Angsty teens without a doubt. I'm sure I was the only person in my entire school that knew they were going to do well at GCSEs. It's annoying, to say the least, to hear the smartest person you know say 'I'm going to fail' before every test only to get A and A* in every single one, fucking pathetic.

I'm fairly certain it's that whole teenage angst thing.
Years ago I was the same way, then one day I was just eating some lunch and it just smacked me across the face what I was slowly becoming. A.. *dramatic pause* emo.

And I destroyed the whole angst thing.
Then I realized I was so awesome, I can scare doors open. And they were totally not automatic doors.

It can be both. It depends how severe the autism is.

I suck at things, but I have high self-esteem.
Self-esteem is just that, esteem of yourself. It is how you feel about yourself, not how other feel about you. The moment you let others control your self-esteem is the moment you lose control of yourself. If someone wants to insult you or your family, let them. It just means they are uncomfortable with their life and need to bring someone down to their level and make themselves feel better. Once they realize they can't get anything from you, they'll turn their attention to someone they can.

Depends on my mood. My self-image can swiftly go from the happiest, most confident person in the world to a hopeless, friendless loser who is unloved by Al.

Well I'm not gonna run around shouting "I AM AWESOME!" because that'd make me a complete dick.
I do.

But really, I do it in a satirical manner.
All jokes.
