ORIGINAL: LanceHughes I'll gather a few quotes from BLoved and put them all in one "Quoted box," and then add my comment(s) below that. quote:
ORIGINAL: BLoved Low self-esteem has always been a problem. People don't believe they deserve better, so they set standards according to their sense of self-worth, which isn't very high. And of course, they really despise those who do not share their sense of low self-esteem. Hell of a society we live in when so many suffer from such a problem. Low self-esteem is a result of never having been valued or loved. quote:
ORIGINAL: BLoved The difference between high self esteem and low self esteem is in what you will tolerate. Those with low self-esteem will tolerate anything, because they don't believe they deserve any better. Those with high self esteem won't tolerate as much, because they know better. If you need someone who will tolerate anything look for those with low self-esteem because I'm just not that kinda guy. Folks, I think I've figured out why we (responders/posters) have such difficulty with BLoved's posts. He is using a non-standard (i.e. his own) definition of self-esteem. Standard definition: Self-esteem is one's opinion of one's own self. High self-esteem is having a good opinion of yourself and low self-esteem is having a bad opinion of yourself. BLoved's definition (paraphrased from above) Self-esteem is [in] what one will tolerate. Those with low self-esteem will tolerate anything. Those with high self esteem won't tolerate as much. Self-esteem is demonstrated by the behaviour one will tolerate. Those with low self-esteem tolerate a great deal: spousal abuse, for example. High self-esteem would never tolerate being treated in such a manner.
