Questions about self image and self love .
through my own experience and seeing and reading I wonder about something that I would like your thoughts on. how much does self confidence and love of thy self really mean ? looking at peoples lives and quote and quote failures, suicidal people, homeless people, people who are generally unsuccessful in life and just barely get by, people like me that are fat and out of shape, or people who are successful in the workplace who have so much money but always seem bitter or miserable in their own way. obviously there are exceptions to the rule at any time so please dont focus on that I’m talking about averages ie most people. even the person who is super confident may realize that people dont like him cause he is a jerk about it therefore on a another level in the backround he may be miserable. people who are obsessed with making money or doing other things like working out like crazy , drug users , alcohlics , etc I could go on forever they all are trying to fill the void. none of these examples are truly happy and at peace with themselves. over acheivers who always look they got something to prove and on the other side of the coin under achievers who just dont care anymore cause subconsciously they think they cant do it or that they are worthless and cant do anything.
It seems to me so many people are miserable with themselves and all they try to do is fill the void with food, drugs , possessions, s.ex, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc the list could go on and on. So I ask again how important is self love and confidence in yourself ? The more I think about the more I think the world itself needs it more than anything and we all need to achieve that! And please I am religious myself dont give me that well we should focus on others stuff cause the bottom line there is when we do for others it makes us feel good about ourselves and we feel like we made a difference and feel useful etc. So it all comes back to what I said before self love and self confidence are the cornerstones to a good life. The world would be a much better place if we could all just looked inwardly first before we started looking outside and fixed ourselves.
And before anyone says it yes you can have too much self confidence and self love but you know too much of anything is bad and anything can be preverted. All things on this earth have the potential to either good nuetral or evil based upon their uses and amount. life is about keeping the balance. so the minute you tip the scales with too much of anything it can be bad. So if we all again look inside ourselves and changed ourselves too confront our fears and inner demons and did what we could to make ourselves truly happy and restore our lost confidence and became at peace with ourselve then the world would just be a better place . and maybe we could actually be happy .
