Have you noticed that it is apparently no longer cool to have low self-esteem?
When people mention it, they disclaimer.
"It's not like my self-esteem is low, or anything..."
Also, it gets mentioned often in connection with violent crime and icky habits.
"The rapist usually suffers from low self-esteem."
"If she had any self-esteem she would exfoliate more."
It is a quality people can use to attack each others self-esteem.
"You're just a little low self-esteem whiner."
"Yeah, and you're using your own insecurities to try and bring me to your level."
Weirdness.
Not that I'm feeling, erm, self-hating! NO, I like myself just fine. It's these *other* people...
;O)
