I used to just try to better my own skills and compete against myself. There is a balance in life. There are some things I will never be able to do and many I can. Telling someone they are always better than everybody else is a lie. Telling someone they are always a loser and worthless is also a lie. Just tell the truth.

Guess the demographic with possibly the highest level of narcissism in the US. You can find them on inner city street corners.
Self esteem? Gangbangers' is out of sight.

Excellent lesson in life. Good going.

The problem in our world is not too much self esteem.Unwarranted and inflated self esteem is a severe problem.

Explains the extreme narcissism of both Hussein Obama and Rapist Clintoon. I am sure both were overly praised for doing nothing by their mamas while young.

Yes. A true sense of high value in yourself is not a comparative thing with others. It is a sense of intrinsic worth and love because you are you. It’s a sense of unconditional acceptance and belief in you. Comparisons with others are often signs of low self esteem.

Liberals do not understand the difference between self-esteem and self-worth.

Just as often, neglected, abused, teased, bullied, insulted children develop into narcissists.
