How's your self-esteem? High? Low? Neither here nor there?

Mine's awful right now. Don't really want to explain further today. Guess I will say that it's never really been that high, except for rare times when I actually do something noteworthy and awesome. How about you guys?

I'm in your boat pretty much exactly how you put it!
Feel like I'm absolutely nothing. Lower than it has been awhile in fact. People do enjoy building me up, only to knock me down in the end.
What is my self esteem to you people, a bunch of Legos?!

But yeah, I do have my ups and downs like most people~

Mine really, really varies depending on what's going on in my personal life. But I always try to separate what's going on personally with me from what's going on socially; even if I don't feel like I have much self-esteem, I always try my best to make people think that I have. Imo faking that you have high self-esteem makes it easier to believe that you have too, and all you have to do to have high self-esteem is believe that you have it anyway.

Mine is neither low or high at the moment. I think my self-esteem is more in the middle.

I accept what I've been given in life and make it work. I have nothing to regret, so I think I'd be on the upper part of the scale, but it does fluctuate a fair amount too. I can feel totally worthless sometimes, but not often.

It has always been low.
I never feel people appreciate what I do, or at least try to do, for them. I think of myself as stupid, can't do anything, etc.

I had only two things on my mind:
Paul Newman and a ride home.

Very high. I'm confident enough to be a leader of sorts in a lot of things I participate in IRL and I have faith in myself and my opinions. It's been steady like that for quite a while now - all I know is I'm not going back to the emotional state I was in when I was thirteen and fourteen.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

I have very high self-esteem, but relatively low-ish levels of self-confidence. Essentially, I'm proud of who I am as a person, my achievements as well as my faults and how to deal with them. However, I'm not very good at ACTING upon this, and tend to be quite shy.

Ordinarily, I'd bundle the two together, but a friend of mine thinks he's the complete opposite of me (lots of confidence, but absolutely no self-esteem), so it's made me think of the issue in a whole different light.

My self-esteem is the best it has ever been in my life, and ever-growing. I love me; I love my life; I love everyone and everything around me (for the most part, anyway, lol). Not long ago I figured out that part of what I love about a certain someone is that I see in him all the best things about myself. I am awesome and he is awesome and the future will be awesome 'cause I'll make it happen! Yay life! :D

High. I don't really know why, I just have the feeling like I was important person or something like that.

I've always had really high self-esteem and it's only in the last few months that any of that has changed. And even then, I'm... pretty sure it's just the medications I'm on messing with my head a little and sinking me into a depression, since that's in the side effects listed for at least one of them. :/ Couple that with having to take time off of school for health and being unable to get a job for the same reasons and you've got me sitting around doing nothing noteworthy. That's not great for my mood either. XD;

But generally my self-esteem's been pretty good and as long as I keep telling myself (or using the excuse? ;c) that it's the meds saying otherwise, I think it'll stay that way.

Depends on what I do each day. If I get out and walk about town, I feel amazing and stimulated for the rest of the day, and my esteem skyrockets and I'm able to progress and produce more easily. Likewise for accomplishments, obtaining new knowledge, and some social situations. Otherwise I'm on the upper side of 'meh'
