Does your self-image affect your life?

[Music Fiend]

Please help me out. Daps and reps for everyone. *** I Know some of yall gonna *** thats cool tho.

As many of you know and replied to part 1 of this thread the other day... For one of my upper division communications classes I have to write a 20 page report that combines psychology, sociology, and communications on how our communication affects self-esteem and how self-esteem affects communicaiton.

I have to do research from 2 platforms to add additional dynamic to our papers. Some are doing interviews of "successful" and involved students, and then interviews of coworkers who didn't go to college, etc. I however, am doing interviews on black students (on campus), and anonymous discussion via "thecoli".

So my questions (Please answer honestly; since this is anonymous):

1) On a scale of 1 to 10; how do YOU feel about yourself and your self-esteem?

2) Does the way you feel about yourself differ from how others view you? Are your beliefs about yourself based on proven experiences in reality or are they based on fear or dreams/fantasy?
example: One might say they feel worthless; but they are treated well and loved. but their fear of abandonment causes them to be mean to others.
3) Do you avoid things in life because of how you feel about yourself? What things do you avoid and why?
example: One may avoid things because it affects how thhey feel bout themselves. One may have good esteem but avoid public speaking, social media or relationships because theyt make them feel less together and inadequate or "exposed"

Thx yall, anything helps.

1) On a scale of 1 to 10; how do YOU feel about yourself and your self-esteem?
I would say about a 6 or 7, my feelings about myself tend to change on a day to day basis. Sometimes I'm on top of the world sometimes the world is on top of me.

2) Does the way you feel about yourself differ from how others view you? Are your beliefs about yourself based on proven experiences in reality or are they based on fear or dreams/fantasy?
I don't know how to answer this.
3) Do you avoid things in life because of how you feel about yourself? What things do you avoid and why?
I don't like when everyone knows me, so I tend to be more reserve and do things by myself or with my wife only.

1) On a scale of 1 to 10; how do YOU feel about yourself and your self-esteem?
On average its probably an 8. If I feel I could have done better or something different to make a situation better, it will dip for a brief moment, but I usually have high self esteem

2) Does the way you feel about yourself differ from how others view you? Are your beliefs about yourself based on proven experiences in reality or are they based on fear or dreams/fantasy?
I feel that I am a lot more critical of myself than others (parents included). They are usually based on what I feel my potential is (not really a proven experience or a fantasy?)

3) Do you avoid things in life because of how you feel about yourself? What things do you avoid and why?
When I was younger I used to avoid conversation that makes me uncomfortable. That can range from voicing displeasure to asking a girl for the digits. Now that I am older and more assertive, it doesn't happen as much/at all


Good luck on the paper

Right now.. In fall/winter.?

1: I think I'm like 6/10 self esteem, sometimes I feel really shytty about myself an where my life goin
2: I post a lotta Gucci, Louis, Versace shyt online an my lil rap thing pretty known out here, so all these people prolly think I'm like 9/10. My shyt is probably not based in fact and more in fear since I don't think I'm that good looking but hoes say I am... But maybe they jus like the money shyt iono... Tbh I probably am in the middle of what I think about myself an what others think
3: I stay home, smoke weed, play video games an make music. I'm not going out or to a party unless I'm working,, performing or sellin bags,, sometimes I'll have my boys over or go to there place if it's a chill setting but ion be with the wild shyt.

All of these answers are brought to you by Maine Season Depression btw. In the summer I'm 10/10 an everyone knows it an I'm outside till the AM an at every party

I would say it's about even

Not really, but sometimes I won't go on a date if I don't think I look absolutely awesome lol

How could your self image NOT affect your life? How you view yourself in relation to the world around you (responsibility vs indifference) will probably have a bigger effect on your life than anything else.

1) On a scale of 1 to 10; how do YOU feel about yourself and your self-esteem?
I would say I'm about a 6.

2) Does the way you feel about yourself differ from how others view you? Are your beliefs about yourself based on proven experiences in reality or are they based on fear or dreams/fantasy?
Depends on the person. I feel like I'm harder on myself than others. They are definitely reality based.

3) Do you avoid things in life because of how you feel about yourself? What things do you avoid and why?
Yep. I use to be painfully shy. As I've gotten older I've grown out of it a little. I really don't like parties, clubs and such. Too many people.

That is obvious. we all know this. But that doesn't provide qualitative or quantitative research for my paper.

10

2) Does the way you feel about yourself differ from how others view you?

I guess. I don't know how others view me.

Are your beliefs about yourself based on proven experiences in reality or are they based on fear or dreams/fantasy?

My beliefs about myself are based on proven experiences in reality.

3) Do you avoid things in life because of how you feel about yourself?

I do avoid things in life, but it's not because of how I feel about myself.

 

[Bless't]

1)8
2)I dont necessarily think so. It's all reality based, of course.
3)Nah.

1) On a scale of 1 to 10; how do YOU feel about yourself and your self-esteem?

10 but it isn't because I feel like I'm better than anyone else , I'm just cool with who and what I'm am and comfortable in my own skin. In a world with 7 billion people, everyone can't be perfect or world changers but people can accept their roles and the responsibilities that come with it. I'm happy with who I am because it's who I am and that can't be changed nor would I want it to be. Some people might call it being cool with complacency or mediocrity but the areas I focused on doing well in, I did well in.

2) Does the way you feel about yourself differ from how others view you? Are your beliefs about yourself based on proven experiences in reality or are they based on fear or dreams/fantasy?

Nah because people know me for being me. It's based on real life experiences, I know my limits and capabilities so I don't hide it.

3) Do you avoid things in life because of how you feel about yourself? What things do you avoid and why?

I avoid putting myself in situations that are detrimental to my well being. For example, I'm not about to take my black ass through a white neighborhood without all my shyt in order for my vehicle and driving because I know what the potential outcomes will most like be. I'm not about to kick it hard like that with people I don't know, in areas I'm not familiar with because I know from experience how situations can turn out. I keep people at an arms length because I don't know them and not really trying to figure out if they are trustworthy or not and if you aren't trustworthy then I don't need to be fukking with you like that in the first place

[MJ Truth]

Of course it does. You are what you think. Self confidence and belief is the genesis of everything you do in life.
