I don't mean to sound like he's some kind of Narcisist--not at all. There is an element of self-centeredness to really low self-esteem though. Have you ever heard someone with really low self-esteem talk about always feeling like people are looking at them and judging them? As if everyone is focused on THEM all the time and they are the center of attention. The real truth is people probably spend less than 1/100000 of their time even thinking about that person, but you can't convince someone with low-self esteem that.





This is profound in that I, ME used to be just like this-- Have you ever heard someone with really low self-esteem talk about always feeling like people are looking at them and judging them? As if everyone is focused on THEM all the time and they are the center of attention.

Lightbulb! The funny thing is that once the "bomb" dropped I DIDN'T CARE what anybody thought of me! I now am out of THAT mode, with a lot of self-talk I could probably do anything!! I'm not afraid anymore..
