"Children with low self-esteem suffer from the pain of being themselves."

"When we look at statistics on how children with ADHD fare down the line, in terms of lower-than-average educational achievement, employment, and marriage stability, one wonders how much is the disorder itself holding people back, versus how the disorder made them feel about themselves and their capabilities from earliest childhood."

People who have a scarcity mindset in relationships tend to settle for less than they deserve. This is because they believe that there are not enough good partners out there, and that they have to cling to what they have. A scarcity mindset can lead to low self-esteem, insecurity, and unhealthy behaviors in relationships. #scarcitymindset #relationships #selfesteem https://www.yourtango.com/heartbreak/what-is-scarcity-mindset-relationships?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FMind+and+Matter

I believe I have reached a new low in #DoomScrolling as I page through #LinkedIn to see how many of the people I went to high school or college with are much more successful than I am.

#SelfEsteem

I need to stop agreeing to things that are suddenly sprung on me without fair warning or time required to properly consider the implications. I also need to do everything else on this list:

Every time I looked in the mirror I would see ghastly deep frown lines above my lips that no amount of moisturiser would reduce.😫. This week I had a brain wave every time I look in the mirror I smile at my reflection. The horrid lines are barely visible, Plus it has boosted my self esteem, I have been feeling happier all day and smiling more at other people too. OK so I see more crinkles around my eyes but they are far easier to live with. #selfcare #selfesteem #thelittlethings

My brother sent me a rather disturbing text as a response to me sharing a project from my grad studies.

I'm not going to name him, but what he said to me was: "...sorry I'm such a disappointment..."

What I said to him in response is something I believe with my whole heart & I think I want to share it with the rest of #BlackMastodon

Black men,
Please start loving yourselves. This world is already on your back. Don't you climb up there too.

This is what I said... (cont'd)

Feeling like lukewarm garbage today - despite being in bed for 13+ hours last night, I only slept for about 7. That was without Ambien, though, so maybe not bad in the grand scheme? Feels like I’m could be coming down with something, though, so I’m gonna take it real easy the next few days.

On the bright side, I had to pop out and run some errands yesterday and I looked (imo) cute as heck. If there’s one thing I adore about being in my 40’s, it’s that my #selfesteem and #confidence concerning who I am and how I look, has skyrocketed. I wish I’d liked myself this much when I was in my 20’s!

@mike I'm not a huge pop music fan really. #SelfEsteem and #Superorganism are my current go to pop artists. Both are very good.

I’m a lukewarm mess. I’ve slipped into a #depression again. #Lethargic, #overwhelmed, low #selfesteem, anxious. Kickstarting my exercise and healthy eating routine to see if I can regain control.

Reminder that #masturbation is good for your #health!

#SelfPleasuring has been shown to have clear #psychological benefits, for #SelfEsteem, self #empowerment, #BodyPositivity, and for the relaxation and primal pleasure it brings.

#Orgasms release chemicals which are good for your body and brain, and move your blood and muscles in a health-promoting way: orgasms promote #heart function and #BloodFlow and #BloodPressure!

#Ejaculation, male and female, releases substances being stored in the body long-term, keeping seminal and vaginal fluids fresh and flowing, flushing out stale stuff and toxins, preventing everything from overgrowths and #UTI to #ProstateCancer!

MASTURBATION IS GOOD FOR YOU! Don't let people lie and tell you otherwise! Remember that #NoFap is an #AntiScience cult!

Please, for your own good, masturbate: your body literally evolved to have regular release!
