I don't know if I was born with or without self-esteem, but it has always been elusive in my life. Something I've spent time chasing on and off over the years. Currently I'm trying to dedicate myself to this goal of building self-worth and self-love, but it's so difficult. My negative mental tapes are like a broken record. But I find when I take out the tape and replace it, it's almost like a mental shift occurs. It's just a matter of having the energy and resolve to recall these positive messafes...which I don't always have or do.
Tonight I slipped up, and caused a bit of drama...or at least thought I did. But now I realize I simply shared my opinion on a matter and it was taken badly. I didn't mean to be offensive, I simply said it like it was...and some people reacted badly. I was kicking myself and nearly crying over it until I read the self-esteem thing. I shouldn't have replied to the messages and argued. I tried to keep civilized. After an apology I walked away and deleted all connections. This person is connected to my POA, so I think that was the right thing to do, though I'm sorry it ended on bad terms.
