I am a woman whose talents are few and far between. That is a complete lie. It implies that I have more than one talent. The truth is that I am one of the least talented people you will ever meet.
Some might say that the paragraph above is just me being insecure and having a chronic lack of self esteem.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. If you say something about yourself that sounds terrible but is actually true, is it still an insecurity and self esteem issue?
I need to lose 10 pounds. This statement could be construed as me just thinking I need to lose 10 pounds. In fact, I actually do need to lose 10 pounds. I am not a very tall person, and my BMI is not in the healthy range.
When does truth cross over into self deprecation?
Several other bloggers that I read (totally stalk their blogs daily) have read Beth Moore's new book called So Long Insecurity. I ordered this book about a month ago, and I've been slowly making my way through the chapters. I think this book is wonderful...especially for women like me who suffer from a chronic form of insecurity. I will keep you all updated as I read this wonderful book.
You are so full of bull shit. How many people do you know who can twirl three batons (that are LIT ON FIRE!!) at once?
ReplyDeleteTake me for example, I don't even know what self-esteem means.

I love Beth Moore. Sounds like a great book.
ReplyDeleteYou have at least two talents. Blogging and Tweeting. Both worthy skills as far as I'm concerned.
I can't wait to read it.
