What do you think of yourself?

Oddfan · #1 08-20-2003, 07:41 PM

I was just wondering what the overall self-esteem is on the forums.

Sekto Springs · #2 08-20-2003, 08:02 PM

my life is completely unexciting and normal

oddguy · #3 08-20-2003, 08:34 PM

I voted for the "I'm doing good" option. I don't hate my life. It's pretty good actually. I'm not a millionaire yet, but I can't complain.

Mac the Janitor · #4 08-20-2003, 09:25 PM

I actually detest myself...if I was another person, I'd probably kick my ass...

Majic · #5 08-20-2003, 10:22 PM

I'm pretty good. School is already being a bit stressful, buts thats what I can expect for being in all Pre-AP/AP classes in 9th grade. Marching band is quite the pain (honestly, marching is ALOT harder then you think, especially with a marching baritone). But I enjoy my downtime, etc... Good good good...

SeaRex · #6 08-20-2003, 11:15 PM

Average high school life. I get angry at things.

School is... bleh. Physics is going to kick my ass. I just know it.

Girlfriend. Going on for 10 months now. Alternately love and drive each other crazy. Etc. You know how it goes.

Art sucks. F*cking apathy. F*cking TV. F*cking distractions.

So I'm in between. I'm lucky to have such a good life. But stuff makes me go "rwar!" sometimes. "Rwar" is not good. "Rwar" bad.

[sentence fragment]

Sekto Springs · #7 08-20-2003, 11:35 PM

lucky you....my life is so boring, im creative and all but it gets me nowhere where i live, everyone is depressed and glum, its always "yucky" outside and extremely wet.

school sucks on so many levels, everyday the same friggin thing, the teachers dont even care about our education, they'de rather play with their office supplies! with all the bullcrap that was taught in my school ive gotten away with about a third of it, i only still go for goo measure!

Joshy · #8 08-21-2003, 03:34 AM

I hate myself, if i wasnt myself and somebody else... i would bash myself everytime i see myself....

***Alcar*** · #9 08-21-2003, 04:07 AM

Amazing, I love me. Seriously, I can't get enough of smiling, laughing and being generally happy.

Alcar...

Facsimile · #10 08-21-2003, 08:01 AM

Life is gay. I have the worst self-esteem of anyone I know. They all at least say "I am kind of good at that." Whereas I say "I suck at that, let me sit down."

Fez · #11 08-21-2003, 08:28 AM

Same as Alcar for me, always happy, me life is looking good.

Oddfan · #12 08-21-2003, 12:35 PM

I hate myself in fact if I wasn't me and I saw myself I would say man he's ugly thank god i'm not him.

paramiteabe · #13 08-21-2003, 01:09 PM

I am doing good. Though I think everything will be getting better as the next few years come by. I am getting closer to what I want to do with myself which is something in Illustraition as you all know.

Other than that I think everyone is their worst critic.

Paramiteabe...

Silversnow · #14 08-21-2003, 05:38 PM

I don't hate myself, but I don't think I'll ever love myself either. Everyday is like routine now, but I guess that'll change as soon as people start doing something.
But I smile sometimes, quite often, but not enough. I have wonderful friends that makes me happy and a lovely family. I dream too much. And I think I'm fat and disgusting. But I guess that has something to do with the guys yelling "That's a huge b*tch!" after me eberytime I walk past them.
I think I can smile more if only I could turn around and kick them so hard they'll be forced to pluck their privates out of their ears.

OANST · #15 08-21-2003, 09:41 PM

I make do considering how much I sabotaged my own life. I am a recovered heroin addict who had my first child when I was 16. I dropped out of school after moving out of my parents house and see no way available to me to actually go to college. I am a musician who holds music in such high regards that I can't bring myself to actually stay in a succesfull band because of the corruption of fellow bandmates who never really shared the same vision as I did in the first place. I am now 22 and my second daughter will be born this december. I work in a sales job where I nearly make enough to support my family, but not quite. I have to move within the next month or two but have no money and no credit to do so with. I see no possibility of life improving for me but instead I see a stagnant, repeating cycle ahead of me. Okay. My pity party is over. I make do. Thats about it.

GrigtheSlig · #16 08-22-2003, 12:09 AM

I'd have to say i'm in the middle somewhere. I don't hate myself, but I do wish I had more friends.

Al the Vykker · #17 08-22-2003, 02:01 AM

Its taken me a long time to get where I am, and I can finally say I am happy with me. I think four or five years ago when I was like 10 and 11 and into the preteen phase, was the hardest time for me. I wasnt happy with myself, I had problems with people, I was sad a lot. I can safely say, Ive grown into a really "handsome teenager", and sprouted several inches, and have really changed a lot, voice wise, and everything. And people have noticed and Im accepted by several different groups of people within the "food Chain" as I would call it at school.

I also have been having success in highschool starting last year as a freshman and into this year, keeping up my grades and keeping an A GPA, along with keeping up in music and joining a lot of groups. Maybe this year I'll have enough strength to try and date another girl after a great relationship that ended last year though.

Anyways I'll add more tomorrow, Ive got to get ready to go to sleep, I have jazz band early tomorrow.

Its great to just be optimistic about life and whats ahead, its hard yes, but I smile like I used to once again. Like I used to long ago.

Mac the Janitor · #18 08-22-2003, 02:42 AM

Yeah, contrary to what I said at the beginning of the topic, my life is actually really great. I'm starting this year as a freshman, and things couldn't be better. I don't go with any trends; instead, I kinda do my own thing and dress "original", and at times, quite weird. This may sound a tad cocky, but regardless of how I dress or what music I listen to...it seems like everyone likes me. I'm just known as that happy weird kid everybody knows. I'm basically friends with everybody, without taking sides or conforming to a group. Nobody's ever mean to me or makes fun of me; everybody just leaves me alone. Which is weird, 'cause I'm not particularly buff or threatening. I have a ton of friends, basically everyone in the school (as stupid as that may sound), a great girlfriend, and just a great life overall.

Flowers for everyone.

***Wil*** · #19 08-22-2003, 06:31 AM

Truth be told, I love life, no matter how boring or frustrating it gets, although if asked, I will respond that I'm further along the negative side of the scales. I think it's because I've gotten used to being faced with desperate situations and total tedium that I've started to love the irony and soap-opera trauma of it all. Not that I like soap operas, yuck.

So I'm not sure what to vote. On the whole, I lead a crappy existence, but over the last few months, I've been endevouring to change that, which means two things:

1 - I've really enjoyed trying to better myself.

2 - Things will doubtlessly get better.

So... I still don't know what to vote. I'm a jerk, I'll vote my life as crap.

Oddfan · #20 08-22-2003, 12:35 PM

My life isn't going so well i'm not lying I have no freinds at all not even any neutrals everybody that meets me in person just becomes my enemy in week tops including girls ovbiously and I don't know why. I know I'm ugly and I'm not fat but I'm not skinny either just a little chubby I'm not very smart, in school I have a C average but I'm nice and have alot of common sense very wise about social stuff and human emotion but it doesn't seem to be enough.

***Xavier*** · #21 08-22-2003, 12:45 PM

I'm doing good.

I like my life very much, but it could be better...
I have friends
I need money
I have a GF
I'm obbsessed by collecting stuff (mostly hard rock cd's)

I guess I could have a better life, but I'm happy with this one

***Alcar*** · #22 08-22-2003, 12:46 PM

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed what some of you had voted on. I was particularly amazed at one person which voted different to what I would have expected them to.

Alcar...

Oddfan · #23 08-22-2003, 12:49 PM

Who would that be?

***Cloverfield*** · #24 08-22-2003, 03:08 PM

I don't hate myself, but I don't love myself either. I'm just me and I live with it. I accept who I am and I'm not going to change myself. If people don't like me as myself, then that's their problem. I'm not going to change. My life isn't perfect, it could be better ... but no one's life is perfect. I've had my share of problems ... particularly in the past year ... but I got through it and pulled out of the depression I was in.

I haven't always though ... I used to dislike myself (don't think I ever really hated myself). I never really thought I was a very good person, and didn't think too much of myself at all.

MrBoj · #25 08-26-2003, 02:09 PM

To be truly happy and to love others, you first need to accept yourself and love yourself. If you don't respect your mind and body, how can you respect others?

DieselCat18 · #26 08-26-2003, 11:27 PM

Im' doing just peachy- keen....... just drivin around with my windows down....... If I was doing any better I'd be twins.....

Don't worry friend, as soon as you start to get older and older the better it gets. Im a sophomore right now and life is great in highschool, and I can just smile about it again!

Just dont give up keep trying your best, and be yourself!

DieselCat18 · #28 08-27-2003, 01:55 AM

I'm really amazed at some of the responses on this thread. Now I'm the last person in the world that needs to be doling out advice. I have had several low points through out my life and I have found that as long as I believed in myself that I could change things. I needed to to decide what I wanted and then put all my effort into achieving that. If you are a kind, giving and respectful person, others well seek you out. I believe it's figuring out knowing who you are and what you want first, then working to become that person. It's really easy to say and another thing to go out and do.... but that is what life is about.... Just like Abe who had a destiny... so do all of us, which we control. Hang in there those of you that feel life has not treated you fairly....

GrigtheSlig · #29 08-27-2003, 10:35 AM

Thanx DieselCat18 for the inspiring words! I don't really hate myself, i'm trying to work on my confidence! So I don't have a horible life! Everything can be better!

Disgruntled Intern · #30 08-27-2003, 11:24 PM

I don't hate myself, but I certainly hate my current situation.
