Whats the difference between low self esteem and just constantly feeling like an idiot?
Salaam Walaikum Low self esteem is when you have low confidence. Low confidence can be alleviated by taking up a hobby or preferably a skill like music, art, mathematics, or marksmanship. Setting realistic goals and accomplishing them and if you ever doubt yourself you have a reference to look back at and it will make you feel better. The first step in that direction would be to rationalize the emotions, the ones that don’t make sense you should break down and put in their place and then never think of it again. Basically mentally pick it apart and if it breaks down into nothing and has no reason for being that is actually relevant even to its own existence. Like crap pulled out of thin air, you realize how pointless it was. • How do you classify yourself as idiot? • What can you do? • What can’t you do? Being honest with yourself is a tricky subject. Emotions can interfere with what you believe about yourself. If you’re honest with yourself it could either mean you think you’re dumb.
