    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.
     
    I have a healthy amount of self-confidence- like anybody, it changes depending on my mood, but it's usually pretty constant.
     
    Pretty low. I don't really have any self confidence at all. I've never had a high self esteem, and I don't think I ever will haha :x
     
    I consider myself a lucky person with a beautiful life, and I think I do all my best to keep it that way and it works. So put me on the top part of the scale.
     
    The concept of self-worthiness is not something I've acknowledged, as my outlook on the world purports that there is nothing worthy to prove, nor any worthy party to prove to. Given this, I can't say I have an esteem of self to call high or low.
     
    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.

    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.
     
    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.
     
    Sometimes high, sometimes low. Fluctuates as with, I think, every other person.
     
    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
