My T says I have low self esteem, and I do agree that I do in some areas (maybe major areas), but not in all.
I have good self body image, I am a good mother, I am friendly and it seems like people generally like me, I know I am intelligent, but I lack self confidence as a musician, I won't dance or sing in public, and I have trouble trusting likely due to past child abuse. I know I think too much in black and white, but I am getting much better lately due to therapy. But If the director critisizes me before a concert, I really take it to heart, and feel terrible. Or if someone says something mean to me, I really get upset.
I just started running for the first time and I am entering 5k races even though I have a 17 mile pace. LOL
So I guess what I am wondering is, doesn't everyone have something that they are self conscience about ?
