Poll: You and your self-esteem.

[Pegghead]

I'm a pretty confident person, I'm able to do things such as public speaking with ease.

 

[Chipperz]

I cannot accept compliments. Even though I'd like to think that people actually think I'm a nice guy, a combination of low self esteem and paranoia make me think that they're all lying to me!

AHHH!

You're Irish. You're genetically a nice guy. It's not a compliment, it's scientific fact. I couldn't walk through Dublin without getting hugged by people. Didn't even get my wallet lifted or anything!

I don't bother with self esteem any more. Every time I start getting confident, something happens to make me feel like shit again. At least if I already feel crap I won't get any worse!

 

[Squidwogdog]

Considering i find myself the most unatractive girl alive and do not consider myself good enough to have the boyfriend that i currently have... I think i can safely say my self-esteem is low. I have noticed the ammount of guys asking me out (not trying to sound vain) and yes i do get noticed by them with flirty eyes watching me but i hate it and can't understand it either. What is wrong with their eyes? Can't they see im hideous or at least the fact that there are better out there?

omg
exhibit one here

your fine you've got a boyfriend, guys find you attractive, capitalise, it might be a girl thing but i'm pretty sure we are getting a bit to upset over what isnt a total ass of a situation

 

[NimbleJack3]

Looking at the results so far, they spike at 'not much'. Yay for us.

I really need to lose flab. I think I'd look quite good if I dropped 5-10kg.

 

[pernastin]

Me and my what now? Nah, I guess it's alright. Sometimes. Mostly I'm too lost in my own cogitations all day to notice anyone else. But then sometimes I'm so paranoid I'd rather stay under my bed playing DS all week. Inside a faraday cage, with a tin-foil cod piece, only drinking hootch and eating canned foods because they probably can't spike those with their mind-control phlebotinum. Well, not really that bad, but I think the point got across, and then some. Certainly orbited the planet and went over my head. The well adjusted mentally healthy one, yes.

Oh, and I voted for meh because meh.

 

[Lothae]

While I have to quibble with your use of "average" as a measure of self esteem, if that's a medium level I'd have to choose it - while I'm gutsy enough to go up in front of a crowd when the performer's asking for volunteers that will inevitably be humiliated, I'm still concerned about my appearance and rather shy at parties/social events.

 

[NotAPie]

Not much but enough to keep me going.
Besides no one can really tell

 

[AndyVale]

I have a lot. I was once good looking and quite sporty, so it's sort of carried over from that.

 

[Communist partisan]

only give me the chanse too stand for everything i say and you'll know and whith that i mean yes i have tons of it

 

[Allstar309]

I dont get, people with low self esteem. most of the time, it is their fault they have it because they are either A) attention seekiers who actually have good self esteem (40%)

or B)they are ashamed or embarassed about what they do or who they are, how you occupy yourself or how you feel about your self, shouldnt reflect on who you are. your a bud of greatness,

seriously its all about how you hold yourself, its all in the posture! trust me!

coming from someone who use to apologise for every little thing. oh yeah, work on the trust thing to

I totaling agree with everything you just said. except the last bit, newb

 

[FurthestLocutus]

I rarely doubt myself?

 

[Sigma1992]

I have barely enough self-esteem to go to highschool or town and I can't talk normally to somebody who I haven't known for years. Moreover I think that compliments are lies when aimed at me.

I guess my paranoia comes from the fact that I have always been considered like a freak at school because of my differences.

But sometimes I can be a little bit more confident when I am not at school, it's a pretty weird situation.

 

[The Maddest March Hare]

I took introverted and turned it into an art form.

 

[Snork Maiden]

Epic extrovert.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

Little to no.
It's okay, though. I don't have to like myself to be a functioning member of society.
Plus, it's a lot harder to make fun of yourself when all your bad qualities are overshadowed by good ones.

 

[kingcom]

None, i view myself as a grain of sand along the endless beach of existance. I wait until my time in life is over then i cease to exist, 100-1000 years later it will be as if i never had existed at all...

 

[Nazulu]

Not much I say. I get nervous around strangers very easily and I always feel like people are watching and judging everywhere I go.
