Do you think highly of yourself?

Question

Be honest.

naartjie · Accepted Answer

I’m on the fence. I know I have a good heart and i literally never ever do people wrong, ever and I’m probably too honest and straightforward most say.
I definitely care for people deeply and have a lot of sympathy/empathy for people and always try/want to help any and everyone, even those who have wronged me or hate/bully me.
But what comes with feeling and thinking so deeply for things in all those good ways, I feel anger and sadness just as deep.
If I’m unhappy about something I always speak up and do something about it but I always come out looking like the asshole so sometimes I think I am.
But I’d rather be an asshole while standing for what’s right even if I’m alone and thought badly for doing so.
So mine more has to do with thoughts, emotions and actions.
Physically? I know I’m not attractive compared to the beauty standards, I’m not conventionally pretty and nothing special so I definitely don’t think highly of myself in that regard.
I also wouldn’t say I’m the smartest academically or the most artistic.
I can often find myself in this circle of a trap where I work hard, think badly of myself, become lazy, realise I need to change things, procrastinate and then slowly get back to step one… which is then followed by step 2 again. Oren feel I’m wasting away potential and not where I should be health wise (physically inside and out).
One thing I will give myself credit for is always trying to do good by people and I’ll always admit when I’m at fault and apologise/fix things asap.

I have problems with that and usually prioritize my family beforehand. Taking care of family should always come first, but finding a balance so you are happy too is important. I know what I deserve, how I deserve to be treated by others. I am no one’s doormat and will slap the hell out of anyone touching without consent and verbally rip into anyone treating or talking to me the way MAGA folks seem to think is ok and just “locker room talk”.

I Do And I believe that's just because of the way that I brought myself up the things that i've been the things that I do in even need to know me and if I see that you need help I will just come over and start helping

I like myself
I know wrong from right.
And I just believe that We are all here to become better people and to help each other. There's a much bigger picture

And I seek that knowledge and that understanding

I think we are all meant To be special people and we all have To do our part , I think we have We have been lied too cheated They are own government. By the way, that they control just about everything we do, whether you believe that or not. Really? Look at it and you'll see what I'm talking about.

But everything that I'm trying to understand.
Focus on the blessing has been not watching TV for the last past 5 years. Because we are being programmed whether you believe it or not. Just try it for 6 months.
And watch the change within yourself and the way society believes in everybody should be there. Anyway, that's not the question. Yes, I do think kindly of myself. I am a good person , and I tried to be a good person

Sometimes. But not enough.

I know I am a good person (I am not disliked by many apart from online and then IDGAF), I am good at my job (the people around me affirm that often), I do neglect to call my family in another country because I am not into idle chit chat and gossip so there's that to feel bad about. I do set high standards of performance on myself in almost everything I do, so I can be harsh with self criticism but I have tried to use compassion that I show others (i'll give too many people too much of me that I spread myself too thin that makes me give myself too little time to myself) onto myself. Basically gtf out of things I am not really into and spend time on me.

Sonorous · Answer

I like to think I have a view of myself that reflects reality relative to the situation I'm in. I don't believe I tend to think of this in terms of a fixed spectrum. It's dynamic, nuanced, can seem dissonant, etc.

molonski2 · Answer

I do , I believe that I'm very well rounded , achieved a lot , am thankful and look out for others , a good all round person with a generous heart , who sure could have done even better , but I think very highly especially when I see what some others do , so certainly Yes , and despite negative input in the beginning.

Good question by the way , and will enjoy reading all the answers later.

adventurous-1 · Answer

I do, I believe I'm a good person and treat everyone as I like to be treated, I listen to what others say even though I might not agree with them or their opinions, but usually there's some something of value when you listen to others speak their thoughts, a way to view things that might not have occurred to you or maybe you never considered. many times you find wisdom in the most unusual places.

Fireguy17 · Answer

Pretty much do.
I have accomplished a lot, made a difference in many people's lives, saved some people, and am very good at my job which many people cannot do.
But I'm also pretty humble and I'm glad for what ever reason I am able to do what I do.

nolabels · Answer

I think of myself as I've been measured to be by various parameters, and as I view myself.

As I've aged and been subjected to certain age-induced limits, I recognize and rue them for their seemingly sudden appearance, but that's all a part of life.

I believe that I still hold my own in rational conversation.

Yes, I guess that I do think somewhat highly of myself in some regards.

I have my faults, as well.

I guess that I'm a human being, after all.

exitseven · Answer

I think I do. I have had many accomplishments, raised 3 successful kids, had multiple careers, and have tried to live by the code of the west.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

This may lead to vanity and pride. But to feel safe about one's qualities isn't wrong. At the same time one also should be aware of one's weaknesses :) I feel good enough about myself.

MicahRaine · Answer

Yes and no.

I know I'm smart, my genes are sort of stacked (I guess I'm just lucky), I treat people well and have good character. At the same time though, I keep letting people screw me over and that's screwed up my finances, ability to trust, etc etc.

Xawyx-2 · Answer

Honestly - no, i'm actually quite modest.  I mean... it's ok if someone has self-confidence, but I don't like egotism and narcissism.

LouieLouie69 · Answer

Absolutely. I’ve spent years honing my character and I have it. Just about where I want it to be. I’m very lucky to be me and wouldn’t trade it for anything!!

DishLady · Answer

Yeah. I think it’s necessary so you can also think highly of others. However I don’t take it to a narcissistic/obnoxious sort of level. Staying humble is a big deal to me.

Finchie40 · Answer

When I was younger I somewhat did at times , but as I got older I realized it doesn’t mean shit and a waste of time , because no one else really gives a fuck lol

itsannalee · Answer

Sometimes yes, when I feel or recognize that i am talking with stupid people.

Menace69 · Answer

Yeah at times even too high for my own good, does not seem erroneus to me though. What's the point in false humility just to accomodate and make others feel adequate of themselves.

xkildy · Answer

The best thing you can do is not think halle of yourself now have a positive attitude about yourself. Love yourself. But don't think highly of yourself, because that comes with arrogance, arrogance comes with a whole bunch of problems

I think I'm a fairly good person, but it's not like I'm perfect.

Still-alive · Answer

Just enough to where I don’t dislike myself anymore but i so try to not get too conceited either. So i view myself as somewhere in between those two things.

WhitneySnow · Answer

I do. But sometimes the world thinks less of you than you do.
