I have never had great self esteem. I honestly do not see myself with the eyes others have. And you know what? That is perfectly fine. I struggle with where I fit in society. Perfectionism and imposter syndrome war for control of my life. But then there is all I am capable of.
I can make candles. I can make lovely jewelry. I make resin art. I paint. I sketch. I do digital art. I do watercolor art and other multimedia art. I code in c++. I sew. I crotchet. I garden. I bake. I cook. I edit. I write poetry. I write stories. I do amateur photography. I have random bits of useless knowledge in my head. I help people. I do cover design. and sometimes I am even a decent person.
in the social life I struggle with interacting and being friends. I don’t see the beauty of my own body but I am able to see the intelligence and kindness within.
so maybe it’s just me over thinking what self esteem really means.

Self-esteem, is based off of our earliest feedbacks of how we are either good or bad, this came from the interactions with our own parents, and, because they didn’t know how to be fitting parents to us, many of us, grew up, getting put down constantly by those around us, and we allowed that to shape us, to damage us endlessly, but, we can, SNAP out of this “i’m not good enough” state of mind by, keep on, reinforcing our own selves, be the parents we wish that our own parents can be to us, by loving our selves, more. And, our self-esteem will finally, get, built, back up, then, nobody can make us feel that we’re, not good enough anymore.
