after some thought, i realized my self esteem isn't as hopeless as i thought. see, i'm confident when it comes to stuff like school and work. its just in social-type situations i am very unconfident, specifically anything relating to girls. and you know what? girls don't like guys with low self esteem. its roughly equivalent to smearing poop all over your body- once someone gets close to you, they'll see something stinks and they'll get the hell away from you. but i can't blame them. being with a girl with high self esteem is much better than being with a self-hater. back to the point, i do obviously have low esteem, but i have hope.
and how to correct this? i still have no idea, but i heard something on the radio a while back that sometimes you should brag about yourself to improve your confidence, and the radio never lies. anybody who has ever talked to me knows that i am pretty humble, i almost never brag about anything. people who brag a lot get on my nerves and on hot chicks, but that's a different story.
so i figured, why not try that myself? i know i have stuff i can brag about. some of it is pretty materialistic, but i think that's okay. honestly, there's no reason for you to read it, but i figured bragging to other people would be more helpful than talking to myself.
-i am good at pretty much anything i do
-i am musically talented
-i am smrt. i was valedictorian in high school, i got a 35 on my ACT, and a full scholarship in college. i know common sense is more important than book smarts, but book smarts do count for something, just ask any of my supervisors at kroger or trw.
-[i think] i have a lot of money for somebody my age. depending when i move out, i should graduate with $50-60g in the bank and no loans to pay off. that easily means house and new car straight out of college should i want those. and don't forget, i am pretty much assured a job at trw after i graduate
