FEELING LIKE CRAP

FEELING LIKE CRAP
YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE MEANING OF SELF ESTEEM

I took almost a day to read this interesting and easy to understand book. I also had that kind of challenge in my life. So, some of this sharing here had resonates with me and i wanted to share it.
Self esteem can affect our sense of who we are and who they can become. The lack of confidence, self loathing, defensiveness and hostility towards other people is the signs that you can pick up form a damaged self esteem, i think i see it in my on bro.
I want to investigate the roles of relationship with my cold bro and i am afraid how it would affect my future unconciously and unintentionally. If i keep on doing the same thing and expect the different result, i would call it madness.

'Self esteem begins with being understandable and being understood'

Finally this part of excerpts in the book with resonates with me again and i feel quite true:
There are young people who original, formative experience of being loved was fleeting, ambiguous, compromised or simply non-existent. The danger for all of them is that they look for external proof of their worth(money, clothes, sexiness) to compesate for the lack of an internal sense of being lovable that they can believe in and trust.

Presto!
