I don't believe in self esteem

I think it's a concept that is misleading and self-defeating. Definitely a mis-nomer. To take a step back and guage how one esteems oneself can be something of a waste of time--especially if that someone suffers from "low self esteem." Here! take a moment to discern how you feel about yourself!! Or, if someone definitely does not have a problem thinking well of themselves, here--enjoy a moment taking pleasure in deciding how much you realy like yourself.

You may be catching my point. Maybe not...

Self-worth is not judged reflectively by an individual--it is INHERANT. and it is great beyond human comprehension. Nobody needs to spend a single errant moment guaging it because it is fixed. It's more like, LOOK! You are amazing! Go let your inner light prove that to you!!

Instead of high or low self esteem, it's about doubting or not doubting your own self worth. Realizing or being unaware of your inherant stellarness.

Does this mean you ignore the topic alltogether? NO. Self worth should not be viewed as an assessment, but instead as a fact, a constant; entirely based on our relationship with Jesus Christ. Actually His with us.

really, self shouldn't be studied subjectively. Developing a positive self concept has a great deal to do with forgetting yourself--becoming so very involved in something... something not illegal or self-destructive--that you aren't aware of yourself.

Its a balance every individual has to find ("unbalanced" has much more meaning...)

I don't think social awkwardness has anything to do with self concept--they tend to hook up and walk hand in hand, but not because they come together.

aaaaaaaand
I'm tired
