I'm self-deprecating - I spend a lot of time telling myself that things are OK, as opposed to having to tell myself to get over things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am incredibly self-deprecating. It stems from self-doubt.
I think self-deprecation is such a disease, and I want to cure everybody of it and so that's my contribution.
Self-depreciation is a disease. Once it gets a hold on us - good-bye!
It's been said to me that I'm self-destructive because I'll walk away from things that are good.
I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I've achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I'd feel confident that I'd still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
I didn't want to go down any scarier path of low self-esteem than I was already on the track for. So during my second year of college I was like, 'I'm over it! I have to go see what this other thing called life is about!'
I am absolutely and inherently self-destructive in that I am always making sure I'm doing what I want to do.
The idea of taking what's useful and discarding the rest is something I say to myself almost on a daily basis.
I have a very healthy dose of self-loathing. But I think we all have a past of being whatever our story was, of feeling not good enough. It can propel you to work harder and do more, but it can also be a tremendous trap, and you can't see beyond it.
I have a high self-opinion - I don't need to hide that. I don't need to be self-deprecating.
