Self esteem, not so much, I hold myself in such high esteem that I don't feel it necessary to do ANYTHING at all to make my life easier - after all - I can handle just about anything, I'm tough, I'm strong, I'm almost invincible - I don't need to be pampered, I don't need to be "taken care of" or any of that stuff... I take care of OTHER people!<br /><br />Self worth - now that's a different story altogether. And I think Daniel has it right when he says that in an abstract way you THINK you do but in REALITY you don't. At least that does seem to be true for me too.<br /><br />I also don't think I respect myself very much... I don't respect the part of me that NEEDS comfort, that NEEDS order, that NEEDS anything. I get needy sometimes, but I don't ever NEED anything from <B>myself</B> ... which doesn't even make sense, yet when I look at the last 3 weeks... it's exactly what I've been doing!<br /><br />And yes, I will accept help but <B>only</B> when it makes the OTHER person feel better, and even if the help I receive isn't really all that helpful. How can I continue to be "needy" if I don't accept the help that is offered? <br /><br />Very interesting how I can be "needy" and yet not need anything. No wonder my life is so messed up!Shirley Twofeathershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911925862486389242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-89266676036157611092009-05-26T15:53:56.992-05:002009-05-26T15:53:56.992-05:00It's interesting that self worth and self esteem a...It's interesting that self worth and self esteem are so different, I really never thought about that before. <br /><br />I do believe that my self worth is higher now than it was when I was younger. I take better care of myself now that I'm older. <br /><br />I think I had some problems with self worth and self esteem when I first went on disability - it seems like so much of both of those is tied to our jobs - however, I know realize that I "put in my time" and deserve to love, appreciate and care for myself now.Cindy Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737043573500353883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36048078.post-36398869465876874792009-05-25T21:01:12.845-05:002009-05-25T21:01:12.845-05:00After reading this a few times I don't think I rea...After reading this a few times I don't think I really have much of a feeling of self worth. Which I find quite depressing. If someone would have asked me I would have said I had good self worth but not now. I don't really do much of anything for me, to take care of myself.
