Why Self Esteem May Be the Biggest Game Changer

So I was thinking about something recently after hearing a girl say:

“I can never be friends with someone who is insecure.”

I was shocked.

I wondered why anyone would say something so mean. I used to struggle with my self esteem and my way of coping was socializing. So for someone to say that, it kind of made me think a little differently.

I went on with my day, still thinking about what she said.

But now I think I understand.

Self esteem affects how we treat ourselves and how we treat others. It also affects all the decisions we make.

Someone with poorer self esteem is more likely to get into d*ug usage, alcohol, and other stuff.

A person will better self esteem will be more open to feedback, working on themselves, be an overall happier person, and have a better love life and friendships.

Think about it: most bullies have terrible self esteem. That’s why they treat others badly.

But a person secure in themselves will never have to go that far. Friends with better self esteem root for you, are able to give you feedback and inform you when you need to set more boundaries.

Ever since my self esteem shot up, I treat people wayy better, I’ve succeeded in a lot more things, and I am most importantly better to myself.

Some books that helped me:

“The magic of thinking big” by David Schwartz

“You are a Badas*” by Jen Sincero

I wish you all the best.
