I'm working on it, but I have virtually no self esteem, unless I am hypomanic, that's the only time I think I'm the bees knees.


That being said, I always come across as very confident, and I am. I'm actually super confident, socially and professionally, but I "naturally" don't really think highly of myself (because I have self-loathing issues) and that's attributed to my BPD diagnosis, so I'm grateful that my BP gives me a break from that with every up swing.


Sorry,but idk anything about a correlation between BP and what you've described.


May just be that you're a depressive who happens to ooze confidence and perform well at work because that's where you're in your element.
