Not anymore. I did up until yesterday. Now I feel inferior.
Sometimes
Healthy, yes.
over all…nope
Nope.
pretty much
yeah, for the most part.
Yes, I would say so.
No, but I’m working on it.
Now, yes. 5 years ago and before… no.
Yeah. But being fabulous makes it easy to have a high self-esteem.
depends on the day you ask me
yeah.
i have God by my side- he makes up for all my flaws and weaknesses.
Yep.
wow, a handful of ppl sad no.
i don’t think mine’s that healthy either.
Dan, you are asking all the vulnerable questions today.
No, I don’t, not right now. I used to, when all was feeling somewhat right with the world.
eh…not really.
wowsy, wowsy, woo woo
sometimes
No.
it kind of depends on if someone’s been mean to me or has been nice to me. don’t you notice how your opinion changes with other peoples opinions and depending on how you feel about that person?
No.
As a matter of fact I do…
sometimes, i sway back and forth
No. I really don’t like myself at all.
absolutely not.
nope
horrible
I do now. It’s hard keeping it up battling the people that think I don’t, but I’ve learned that if I don’t treat myself well I can’t expect anyone else to.
Fuck yeah, baby.
Not really.
I’ve been told I have the worst self-esteem in the world.
Maybe if I had any at all, I wouldn’t be so damn lonely.
Because I feel like impressing people who would be attracted to my introverted self: no.
love this question, after the one about our personal weaknesses.
No, i could have better self esteem, but damn life is hard. (though it can always get worse)
At this point of my life, I would go with no..
It fluctuates. 90% of the time I don’t feel good about myself, so I guess that’s a no. I’m really surprised at the high number of people who also said no!
I pretend to.
yeah…i think so. i think im building it up quite nicely. it may not seem it sometimes though…. how bout you Dan?
saying “I’m awesome” just doesn’t get the point across!
OF course… Everyone else likes me… why shouldn’t I. ;-b
It’s improving.
I know I don’t. I am confidant in my work abilities…but other than that….no.
Nope. Definetely not
Well, now this is an interesting question, I think in most things my self esteem is average. I am very self conscious about my looks especially my weight (even though my husband loves me more and is more affectionate now ~4 kids later). I am confident enough to eat in a restaurant by myself, in fact covet those opportunities. I am still learning to speak up about my beliefs and morals but, that is growing in leaps and bounds thanks to us moving out of our safe little town this summer. All in all I would say I am more confident than some but less than others. Very good question!
Nope.
And it will take a very long time before I do.
<33
No. I had some self esteem once, but I got dizzy.
I love being me.
no
no not really. Well, so I’m told I don’t think about it much.
I don’t believe in self-esteem. But I have a lot of Christ-esteem!
Yeah.. maybe.. sometimes.. hmm.. well i’m not sure.
Yes, I think I have a healthy respect for myself.
Not even alittle.
I’m God one day, and a dust bunny the next. And Dan, no one likes dust bunnies.
at times
I doubt it. I mean I’m not down on myself all the time, but I don’t really think I have a high esteem either
It’s okay… but I’m fairly critical of myself, more than I let on.
Pretty much so. I feel that I can accomplish anything as long as I am in the right mindset.
I think I have more than some people, but I don’t think I have as much as I pretend to at times. I can act very confident when I want to, but deep down, there are so many things I hate about myself. I’m a lot more insecure than I put on.
you know, actually I do. Most of the time I feel confident and good about myself. Sometimes hubby makes me feel stupid and inferior…but I’m getting over that and learning to ignore him. I feel strong…loved…and I like it.
*HUGS*
yes, unless i’m in my car driving. I feel SO self conscious driving through town. it’s rather disgusting.
Maybe a little too much sometimes, which is unhealthy…but most of the time, yes, I do believe my self-esteem will get me where I want to go in life.
Healthier than most, but I do crave praise.
No
I’m self-critical and pessimistic – take a guess.
I wonder if this is in response to my last answer
Yes, but I didn’t when I was young.
if we could all just get along, there’d be no need for self esteem.
Yeah, healthier than many people I know.
Yes, I think I do. And I have noticed that those with a healthy self-esteem tend to get along well with others.
The answer is not in self-esteem, it doesn’t work.
In the past no but it had been something I had been working
on for a long time. I have been to “Searching for Significance”
seminars and read the book and done the study. It really has taken
reprogramming my brain to see myself as God does to overcome how I was raised
and conditioned to see myself. Now if I could only get over my
self image, I would be all together.
Overall, yes.
definetly not.
yeah. i sort of clicked on this just to see if all the commenters said “no” like i expected. everyone on xanga is the same. slightly introverted and depressed; vaguely creative but not really.

god dammit i hate myself i feel so stupid when i double-submit my comments. everyone must fucking hate me, and they should, because i suck.
No. Sometimes I think too much of myself, sometimes too little.
Absolutely
Yes. Everyone has periods of self-hated, but overall, I’m pretty okay with myself. I’m not an egomaniac, but I have rarely ever been jealous of anyone; admired, for sure, but rarely, rarely ever jealous.
no
I’m fine. Takes a while to get me down.
’nuff said….
most of the time, no. it’s so hard to get it just right.
yes.
It could be better…
I’d like to think that I face reality. In saying that, I look at all the areas in my life. I know which ones need to be worked on. Do I work on them to the best of my ability? Probably not. So, does that mean I have lower expectations of myself, thus, a low self-esteem? Hmmmm? Sunday morning introspection. Do I listen to myself, or do I already have it programmed inside me of what Christ says I am? I think I would rather listen to the programming.
Most of the time, yes.
I know that I have no self-esteem. But I’m okay with that.
not really
Sometimes I think I do. I believe everyone struggles with self-esteem issues at one time or another.
no.
No, not at all. Sometimes I feel like I’m somewhat attractive, but I usually feel fat and ugly, despite what other people say.
Some times Yes : )
Some times No : (
It falls ill occasionally, but pills make it better.
Yup.I am honest about my flaws and strengths and accept them both.
A lot more than I use to have^_^
What is healthy?
Is thinking too much of yourself wealthy?
Screw the self-esteem steam
No one’s on anybody else’s team.
Nahhh
Not in the slightest.
yeppp!
Absolutely not…and I haven’t for years.
Well it’s a hell of a lot healthier than it was in 2005!
Good enough.
i can get down on myself alot… it depends on the day and how i’m doing in my spiritual walk. It’s important to me to remember than there’s no such thing as “good enough” but I can give my best to the glory of God.
btw that whole self-esteem doctrine is very unsound- we’re all flawed and in error and can’t claim an inch on God so thankfully grace is free
I think I do. I pray regularly that my children will have a healthy self-esteem that is rooted in the fact that they are God’s handiwork.
Not even hahahaha
I’m entirely too self-critical.
no
Trying my best to make it healthy. But still an ill- self esteem.
it’s better than what it was, but it’s still not good.
I’ve got a long way to go yet.
No
Yes. For the most part, yes. I have my up days and my down days, but my self esteem is generally at a healty level.
definitely not.
i know my true value yet sometimes let my own self esteem not be as healthy as it should. silly human insecurities at times, when instead i know the things i should focus on and the fulfillment i could have rather than letting myself have low self esteem
Yeah but I still need to develop it a little more
not really, a bit
haha….
NO
That is a difficult question to answer. Some days I do better, but dont we all? It is not hard to be knocked down by life from time to time, the stronger ones…the ones who know who they are and what they stand for…they just regain their footing a little faster.
Thats a very open question.
Personally mine changes by the hour.
So I guess it must be in the middle to be able to swing between high and low.
If you had said NORMAL self-esteem, I would have said yes.
But you said HEALTHY and that means no. But blame society and media, as I do for basically everything. – Kare
