... there ARE things more important than self-esteem.
I don't know you at all, capricorn, but I know you well enough from the respect others have shown you here in this thread that you HAVE those things that are more important than self-esteem. By having those things you have, contrary to your own opinion, earned a great deal of esteem.
It's a simple thing to hate yourself. Choose the right methods, and it can be an easy thing to make others hate you as well. Instead, you've gained the esteem of your peers and friends, and that is most certainly NOT an easy thing to do.
So, are you going to call them all liars? Or are you going to start to learn from them? If you've blinded yourself to your own merits, use the sight of your friends and see yourself through their eyes.
(psssst!! I've tried it myself ... it really does work!)
