I got a heart I don't like seeing people that hates on themselves, so I'll try to bring their spirits up if I can. 37%
Fuck no could care less about their personal demons I got my own issues, does that make me a bad person falserelic? nah 3%
Depends why that person has such a bad mindset, then I might feel bad for them, if they about bullshit then I could care less. 34%
I got low self-esteem and I try to think positive, but just can't sometimes. 26%
I knew someone who had low self-esteem, but it didn't end well. 0%

I try to be reasonable on why some people have low self-esteem, but not all of them. A few weeks ago I met this lady at the gym. She's a nice lady, but she has such a negative mindset about herself its annoying. She goes on rants about how she can't keep a boyfriend, she feels like she's not good enough, and then she complains about her weight and blames it on her ex-boyfriends.

Now she's telling me she's planning on having gastric bypass surgery, and at that point I almost ended up saying something that could of hurt her feelings. One she's not really that big, and two she doesn't put much effort into working out from what I've notice. To me it seems like a lazy pointless copout, now I know why some people needs gastric bypass surgery, but in her case it's just stupid.

The only thing I told her was if it makes you feel better then go for it, but think long and hard about your decision. she's an adult she can do whatever she wants to do, but I don't have sympathy for her.

We all got our own problems so yeah I sympathize. We all got shit to deal with. I try to keep it positive and I don't get involved in any drama. Works for me.

And though I have pretty much zero self esteem, I tend to keep my issues to myself because I figure nobody cares or wants to know and I am just bothering people or driving them away if I tell them I am upset every single day because I tend to seductively slip into existential melancholy around whenever-i-wake-up-o-clock. So I focus on others rather than myself because I am not really worth a whole lot and have very little to contribute.

My self esteem generally blows but i dont exactly advertise it to people so never really been in a situation where it came up. I guess i just think people got enough of there own shit without hearing my issues, though i'v posted some dumb shit on here before basically whining about my life.

My self esteem is at an all time low at this point in my life so I can certainly show sympathy towards someone who has the same issue. That said I don't go out and seek attention because I have problems. I don't wear my emotions on my sleeve or at least I try not to and many others do the same, which can make it worse in some cases. Especially if you're in a situation where you have no one to talk to about it.

We're here for ya, VGK. ♥

I've my doubts.

you doubt your subjects!? you are no king...

You've given me reason well enough to doubt you time and time again. Hell, you've just admitted to not considering yourself one of my subjects. Does this seem worthy of trust?

I'm ruled by no king... of course I'm not your subject!

I guess I can list some of the things that contributed to my low-self esteem, outside of my main issue.

1. Developing a bizzare illness that made parts of my body numb, and I was losing control over. Doctor told me I was showing signs of multiple sclerosis.

2. Back in middle school I almost ended up getting brutally jump by gangmembers, but end up getting sucker punched in front of the whole school, and became a laughing stock for the rest of my middle school years.

3. People I thought was friends, turned out to be my worst enemies, and put me into a lot of fucked up situations.

4. Being overweight at the time. I had quite a lot of embassing moments, stuff that I'm not going to mention.

Anyway overtime the shit just started to get to me, and then I started developing a negative mindset, but nowadays I don't let stuff bother me as much. I realized life's to short and people could care less, and that in order to make things better I have to allow it.
