SELF-ESTEEM VS NARCISSISM

Hi there! Today I'm gonna talk about Self Esteem VS Narcissism. What are the differences between these two? You can also call it being CONFIDENT OR INSECURE...

Confident people are naturally outgoing, chatty and fun-loving. While Insecure people are mostly introvert and quiet... I lean more to the insecure side. I love reading and studying while confident people likes spending time with people. I am considered to be the more-serious child... My question is is it okay to be insecure? Will you come off as proud, arrogant or negative?

I am pretty confident about my looks, hair, skin and figure but hides my other flaws to outside people... We love being with people who understands us, like my sister and mother but avoid people who gives us stress... How do you train yourself to be confident? Visiting a psychiatrist will be a good way to help you learn and grow everyday.

Here are some words that helps to explain what loving yourself is all about...

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself. 

If your goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the correct feelings toward yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn't matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you. 

I think everyone should take some time to fall in love with themselves... Like finding out how you liked to be loved, what you truly love to do, your favourite scents, your favourite song, your favourite food, your least favourite food, your pet peeves, your bad habits, your good qualities and everything you thought you never need to discover... Get to know yourself and then fall in love with yourself.. You need to love yourself before people can love you...

With so many instagrammers looking beautiful and taking beautiful pictures on social media who is deemed as being narcissistic or vain, it is good to stop and smell the roses once in a while to develop good thoughts and practices. Whatever it is, I hope everyone stay hard working, happy, driven and motivated everyday as we keep learning and growing together! Ciao!
