If you were forced, every day, to interact with people whom you know believe you're worth less than the dirt beneath their feet - people who gladly admit this as if it were something to be proud of and constantly remind you of it - would you be happy? I know I wouldn't.

If I was a homosexual living in America, with 70% of the population subscribing to a homophobic religion, I'd be pretty fucking sick of it. It would take a very strong person not to feel undermined. And the idea that it's ok to give those 70% free reign to just stick "no gays" signs up everywhere makes me feel ill. I know not all of them would of course. But you have to consider the consequences. If you let one person do something freely, you need to think what would happen if a lot of people started doing it. Otherwise, you're being very socially irresponsible and short sighted.
Also, I'd like to know where in the marriage vows it says that you admit to having had sex and/or will definitely have sex. There was that one guy who came round asking some very personal questions though.... hmm. Feel free to send me a private message.

Why do you think the "losers" in high school often commit suicide?Then you have low self esteem. Do you know what self-esteem is? It's not something you have that stays at roughly the same level throughout your life. It changes, based on your perception of yourself. And your perception of yourself can be and is affected by the way (you think) others perceive you. If you were prohibited from performing any services whatsoever, how could you believe you were useful in any way? If you were deemed so unclean that the very idea of accepting your money for a service - a service given to others for the same amount of money - is abhorrent, how could you have any self-esteem? If you don't believe this to be true, come live with me for a month. See how long it takes you to break.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.
Why settle for normal, when you can be so much more? Why settle for something, when you can have everything?
Alpha isn't worth arguing with, One. He's quite convinced of his own moral, emotional, mental, and physical superiority...or at least, exceptional at pretending to be so in order to troll this forum.
I guess you have to have pretty high self esteem to think the omnipotent creator of the entire universe, all the cosmos, every galaxy and the mind numbing number of planets is keenly interested in where you stick your nob.

I wouldn't call it self-esteem. Maybe self-aggrandizing and all consuming vanity, with a healthy cock-sauce of delusions of grandeur.

Quote:And your perception of yourself can be and is affected by the way (you think) others perceive you.Only if you already have a low perception of yourself.

Still here. Still think I'm right, even though people routinely insult me. Doesn't bother me, because I have high self esteem.

If you don't think the self is affected by its interactions with other people and its environment, then I invite you to consider what would happen to an infant offered no contact with any human being its entire life.

I'm guessing it's not a self-help book. Is it that you were born lucky, with everything going your way since birth? Or did you have to work at it, struggling through adversity? Or is it just because of your belief in God? Or none of the above? RE: Being gay is a fetish.

You don't have self-esteem problems when you think you can do no wrong!
