High self-esteem is not telling yourself that you are perfect. I know that I'm not perfect. I make mistakes, because I'm only human. However, being able to admit that is a sign of high self-esteem. I know that I am awesome, but no one is perfect. I have mistakes, but I know that my positive sides outweight those by far, so I can walk around with a lifted head and know that I am the shit. I also know that because I have introspection, I can find and work on my mistakes to become even better.
I have a high self-esteem becuase I know what I am capable of. Not because I see myself as perfect.
If you still don't understand what we're getting at, you're clearly the one in denial.
Couldn't explain it better!
The fact is that high-self esteem guys aren't in denial when they have flaws. If a high self-esteem guy KNOWS he made a MISTAKE, he admits it, and moves on. He admits that he made a mistake, and tells that to himself. He doesn't complain about someone else doing sometime so that he eventually made a mistake, no he did that by himself and he admits that. THAT is part of being high self-esteem; You know your good sides and your bad sides, and accept those. I'm roughly 7 months in the game, I can pick up girls pretty good. Am I high self-esteem?
FAR FROM IT. I make mistakes where I think to myself what the hell did I do wrong? Let's say for instance a test from school. I have a bad mark and the rest of the classmates has average or good marks. Would you complain about the teacher not teaching well, or you yourself didn't do enough for it? Usually I would blame the teacher, now I blame myself, because that is within my control.
The fact that girls pick you up is NOT WITHIN YOUR CONTROL. You can't control the action the girls make. All you can do is become something that they are attracted to, but you can't make them wanting you. That's why no method is 100% rejection proof, because not every girl will be interested in you.
Telling yourself that you are perfect means that you can NEVER EVER make a mistake. If you deny the fact that you are not making mistakes, then you are low self-esteem.
Just my 2 cents.
