by SP, Woodring If you are overly sensitive to criticism but overly critical of others, you have low self-esteem. If you habitually put others down, you have low self-esteem. If you constantly focus on the past: “Oh… The good old days!, you, my friend, you have low self-esteem. If you constantly make negative "I am" statements, if you always put yourself down, you have low self-esteem. If you fear new experiences and changes, I you scream and kick yourself because you want everything to remain the way they are, you have low self-esteem. If you have trouble trusting other people, if you automatically trust other people because of their nationality or the fact that their skin color is one shade lighter than yours, you have low self-esteem. If you think you need a boob job, liposuction, if you look at yourself in the mirror and you think your nose is too big, your ass is too flat, or any part of your body is anything but perfect simply because it’s yours and yours alone, you have low self-esteem If you constantly brag about “my car”, “my house”, “my jewelry”, “my big screen TV”, my... my… my…, you have low self-esteem. If always want to hear how pretty you are, if you always want others to tell you “how wonderfully dressed you are today”, if your day is ruined simply because you didn’t hear it today, you have low self-esteem. If you run around shopping for no reason, and if the first thing you do after you buy it is to get on the phone and tell the whole world what you just bought and how much it cost, you have low self-esteem. If you have a very hard time look at someone in the eye when you are talking to them, you have low self-esteem. If you put your head down when you are talking to another human being, I don’t care if it’s Rene Garcia Preval, Georges W. Bush, the queen or England, or the Pope, you have low self-esteem. If you have a strong need for material possessions, if having the most expensive thing in your neighborhood is what makes you feel secure, you have low self-esteem. If you are constantly accusing your spouse of cheating without any proof or evidence, if the only thing in your mind is worrying about what your spouse is doing when you are not around, you have low self-esteem. If you do not believe in yourself, if you think any other human being on the planet is better, you have low self-esteem. If you have a hard time expressing yourself, if have a great idea and you are too afraid to share it with others, you have low self-esteem. If you have a low level of self-awareness, if you spend all your time and all your energy trying to maintain a false image, you have low self-esteem. If you spend all your life and all your money trying to keep up with the Jones, you have low self-esteem. If you are upset after you read this, that’s good. I just made you realize something about you that your family and friends do not have to guts to tell you. You have low self-esteem.
