Poor self image and Social anxiety are often related....

Re: Do you have a good self image?
I have a very fragile self-esteem if I think people are testing my confidence out. I don't really see myself as a successful person in the world. I have some success at a personal level with people I know well.
It took me a long time to establish some kind of identity in the world. Still I'm not usure where I best fit in, where is my ideal niche. If I develop more spiritual discipline, I will stop caring either way.

Nope. As far as I'm concerned, I'm the most hideous thing to ever come into existence:
:! I don't see one positive thing about my appearance....... or my "self".

But the problem is that we then rely on others to love us. It makes us dependant. We're addicted to love.:

Very poor self image, i feel like a nerdy, generic looking guy, Now if you've ever seen mighty boosh the scene when vince and noel are painting and vince paints a picture of a featureless ball with hair as a portrait of howard. This is how i see myself no matter what others see. Because i'm skinny i'm not a big muscularly clad guy either so that conflicts with the universal image of an alpha male too. All of this sort of jargon plays with my head and distorts my self image. I also think i might come across as too serious in group situations at work and at parties out of trying to hide! Which doesnt give me clarity on who i am and my character. My humour is sometimes taken well but other times people dont get the reference or the delivery, ugh.

Everyone is addicted to love. Everyone wants someone to accept them
. Alas, I'm currently out of love for myself at the moment. I'm broken and I do need to get help. But, if it makes you feel less worried about me, my self-image has drastically improved from how it was in the past.

You could argue that I admit. But on a scale of 1 to 10 how addicted are you? I guess if it's a person I really respect and admire, yeah I'm addicted, maybe a 7 or 8. Less so with most people these days because I'm starting to see through my own illusions. A lot of people I don't really care whether they like/love me or not. As long as they don't hate me and want to harass.
Got off topic now a bit haven't we.

When I see anyone I might be remotely interested in, my poor self image surfaces. Basically I am damaged and haven't lived well at times, and I am not sure I can change. That is why I am more comfortable not having those thoughts, my self image is neutral in my own company. I accept my limitations. I don't expect anyone else to have to deal with them.

I have such fragile confidence. There are days where its higher than usual but it usually comes down faster than it went up,all it takes is one comment or strange look to murder it.
haha it depends, on time of year/month/day and amount of chocolate reserves/food/accomplishments/terrible things happened/stress/good things found out... very variable... for me...

I hate myself, i bully myself so much and whenever i try to encourage myself i just end up thinking why the hell would you ever think you deserved to be able to do that, why should you learn to drive, why are you wasting your money trying to make a better life for yourself, you don't deserve it and no one is going to care about you anyway.
...yet i'm really quite nice to other people that ^ makes me sound like such an ugly person, but i would never dream of speaking to other poeple like that.

Yeah, I know how you feel, rebyoo. Sadly, I feel the same way about myself. Even though, I really shouldn't.

I was almost tempted to vote yes, just because the yes option looks so sad and lonely and forgotten. :
