Put downs

After almost highjacking another thread, I was wondering are you the first to put yourself down or are you the kind that oozes confidence?

I am always the first to put myself down, as I see it as a sort of defence mechanism where I will say "Yes I know I'm fat yadda yadda" etc. etc.

So are you confidence personified when it comes to your looks or are you a self put downer

I can put myself down for sure but like I said if you have people to boost your confidence does your self esteem the world of good.

I also believe beauty is skin deep, and inside I know I am a kind, loyal and a loving person which counts more to me than what the outside of me looks like.

I have all of the usual insecurities

I never think I'm witty or clever enough in conversation, and may come across as either quite shy, or an ego the size of Africa - I'm not sure

What do you think ?

You will having suffered abuse many years ago, it is a question of time and self belief.

A good man will always make you feel wanted, secure and loved and you will see that and hopefully feel that in time.

I guess it could be the whole self esteem issue.

I was a young confident teenager, and something happened and stuff (which I wont go into) but it knocked my confidence sideways, I haven't seen it since I was 19/20.

I envy people who ooze confidence (rather than arrogance) especially bigger ladies, as I can relate to them and think that I'd love their confidence and to be happy in my own skin.

I automatically think that ladies with a beautiful slim figure would never have self esteem issues, but realistically know they can have confidence issues too

I apologise for a bit of a downer of a thread, just got my mind thinking.

I'm not a completely miserable cow who shys away at everything and is scared of looking in the mirror, I have built my confidence up little by little and know it takes time. After all, if I can't like myself who else is going to like me?

I know some won't like me but I'm not overly bothered on here any more, I used to worry what others thought but I'm not that concerned anymore if that makes sense

If you like yourself, then it doesn't matter whether anyone else does, surely..?

I did a huge amount of work with a cognitive behavioural therapist last year so that professionally I appeared confident and collected. By focussing on projecting this (and some simple techniques such as pausing, breathing and smiling), it has become true and I am a much happier, calmer and confident person.

not especialy confident but dont see the point in mentioning my flaws,

people can see with their own eyes what you look like, they can take it or leave it. i think when people go on about their size and other things they arent too happy about then they come across as a bit self obsessed, a bit needy and they draw attention to a persons bad bits so you start to think maybe they are right and they dont look so good so why bother with them, they dont even like themselves so why would anyone else sort of thing.

Over the years been bullied and on sites like fab... I had that for years until I was reading this book about loving yourself for who you are its changed me ...... I then could see I had to be true to myself who I was and start to love myself inside not just care about the outside... Had a mum who drinks and as a kid not knowing if I was going to get beaten up that stoped too when I said no more I was married with kids of my own and still she felt she could control me . I am what I am ....... happy person now and really don't care what a lot think as long as I know I am ok .

I tend to put myself down quite a lot, but at the same time I don't believe it- it is just recognising who and what I am, the good parts and the bad, emotionally and physically.

I am confident enough in myself to take piss takes from other people (infact, I quite like it if it is well done)

Personal comments for the sake of being personal are what usually provoke a negative reaction from me - be them aimed at myself or indeed others.

I used to be very shy and insecure.

One day I realised that I actually liked myself and life quite a lot. I decided life was to short and fragile to let insecurity be the cause of missing out on life's adventure. Now I am very confident. Saying that, I am very self depreciating, it's because I am confident enough in who I am that I don't need an ego. Does that make sense.

That's what I guess I'm trying to say, but its also nice to be liked too.

Sorry I wasn't making myself clear in the initial post and blabbed on and went off on a tangent. Sorry too much sun and medication.

What I initially meant was are you the type to put yourself down (like I did in the Summer body thread) or are you the type who knows you're attractive and can do self praise for want of a better phrase.

Its simple what we give out we get back . What we think about ourselves becomes the truth for us . We are the ones responsible for the thoughts we think the best and worst ,So we have to create balance and harmony of the mind .. limiting negative beliefs to become healthy happy people .. And that takes positive thinking I know ... x
