Self-Esteem and Confidence
I think so many people are afraid to express confidence because they don't want to sound arrogant. They don't want to say they can look in the mirror and be completely satisfied with how they look.
I read so many blogs where people express almost a self-hate with what they are and where they are at in life. I am not saying they feel they can lose a few pounds. I am saying they are just don't like what they look like.Do you have a healthy self-esteem?

It depends on the day. Like today i feel bloated, but yesterday i felt super amazing!
I think I have great self-esteem, its just getting others to see how awesome I am is what the problem is LOL
I'm amazing, no matter how shitty I feel about myself.
Haha, definitely not xD I should try fixing that
I usually feel good about who I am, some issues from the past mess with that sometimes but all in all I have good self esteem for a fat girl...
There are things about myself, which I find rather displeasing, however I do not feel that I don't have good self esteem. Also, I wouldn't write an ultra depressing blog entry about the things I don't like about myself.
There is a line between being self conscious, which I am to an extent, and having low self esteem. Being self conscious, to me, is when you have flaws and try to hide them. Say, a little extra chunk. Having low self esteem, is when somebody says "you look nice today" and the other person is thinking to themselves, "they are just saying that." Just my two cents worth.I see muscle and fat, what I am and what I want to be. There isn't self hate, just work to be done and results of work already done. All in all my confidence is very healthy.
I have a healthy self-esteem and plenty of confidence. I just don't value certain things and don't think certain things about myself when it comes to romance. lol
Yes. I have a phenomenal mustache and under eye circles that make me look like an adorable baby raccoon. I don't know what's not to love.
In terms of my looks, I'm totally healthy, but I have a hard time expressing my confidence in being intelligent for fear of coming off as pretentious or snobby.
Unfortunately we've been doing self-esteem education all wrong in this country. Yes, it's important for kids to have positive self-esteem, but people need a *reason* to feel good about themselves. Instead it seems we've raised a generation to feel absolutely wonderful about being miserable.
As for me, I'm pretty happy these days. I mean, c'mon. Just look at me. How could I not be happy being this awesome?
If my honker of a nose would just stop hiding my incredible baby blue eyes!
I'm not delusional about my qualities or abilities. That doesn't mean I have poor self-esteem.
it's better than before; a work in progress.
I see that a lot on here. I'm comfortable in my own skin so yes I guess I do have a healthy self-esteem.
It's improved this year. Finally coming out of a five year funk.
Only a fool humbles himself in this world when there are so many others who will do it for him.

I'm pretty content with how I look, for the most part. Granted, there are some things I wish could be a little different, but it doesn't bother me enough to make me unhappy. I am who I am..flaws and all..so I guess I have a pretty healthy self-esteem. :)

I have a case of self estem,..which is TOO healthy!!
I have low self-esteem, but I feel it's normal considering my experiences in the last few years. I've never been super confident, but I find self-esteem wavers depending upon my situation. So, when life is good, I feel great about myself... And when times are bad, well, not so much.
mine's pretty skewed.
Now, I do have a healthy self-esteem. I struggled with bulimia and a self harm addiction for 4 years, and it's the reason why my last relationship ended on a terrible note. My SO and father have really helped me, though, and I feel really beautiful no matter what I wear and look like.
No, I have absolutely godawful self-esteem directly related to my race and comments on it from when I was younger.
Too much self-esteem today is patronizing or condescending. The result is a generation of underachievers in academics who only have a sense of accompishment if they win at some computer game.
I do okay with my self-esteem. I can do without bad advice and insincere praise.
