Saharah Blue Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 66 Your results indicate that your sense of self-worth is fairly healthy. You rarely put yourself down or fall victim to self-depreciating statements. There are certain attitudes and beliefs that have been found to contribute to and "feed" a positive self-image, and you appear to have many of them. Examples would be believing that you deserve to be loved or respected, believing that you're good enough for someone, and focusing on your good qualities rather than only your perceived faults. While you may not necessarily feel all of these things all of the time, your opinion of yourself is generally quite positive. This is a healthy attitude to have, as a poor sense of self-worth can hold you back from pursuing your goals, cause you unnecessary stress, and even become self-fulfilling prophecies. I took this the other day and it was 10 points higher, I had some disappointing news today and I can't help but think that really plays a part in how I feel about myself. For awhile I was doing a self-esteem test every now and again, because it it really does fluctuate at different points in your life or different times of the year. I really wonder if this is part of what has helped me keep going in life, and through my recovery just knowing that even if I can't feel it at that moment, I do deserve to be happy, I do deserve to be loved.

ntt14 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Sahara blue - you're right. A lot of us should make ourselves retake this test on a good day to remind ourselves that we don't always feel the same way. On a bad day, it's hard to keep perspective and see that anything has ever been any other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saharah Blue Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Yes definately, try it when you feeling at your best, having a grand day, it will help to gain a better overall picture of your self-esteem, which can help boost your own self image. Just remember each test is only a snapshot. Its not written in stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple-chick Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Snapshot Report Sense of Self-Worth 5 Your results indicate that you seem to have a very low opinion of yourself. You tend to put yourself down a lot, falling victim to your own self-depreciating statements. Essentially, you are suffering from a lack of self-worth, an issue that many people encounter at some point in their lives. A weakened sense of self-worth can result from a wide range of factors: perhaps you've recently gone through a particularly difficult period in your life, or you didn't get the support you needed from others when you were growing up. The important thing however, is not to figure out who/what is to blame; it is to recognize that it's now up to you to boost your self-image. There are certain attitudes and beliefs that have been found to contribute to and "feed" a negative self-image, and you appear to have a lot of them. Examples would be believing that you don't deserve to be loved or respected, believing that you're not good enough for someone, and focusing only on your perceived faults rather than good qualities. While you may not necessarily feel all of these things all of the time, they are ingrained in your mindset to the point that they are surely affecting your life. You may not even realize it, but these beliefs can discourage you from pursuing your goals, cause you unnecessary stress, and even become self-fulfilling prophecies. A change in mindset could make all the difference in the world. god i was hoping it would be abit better than that... say atleast 15/20!! ooops xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtMatters Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I scored 20...how come my blurb said something different? lol I have been having to deal with feelings of rejection by my family and some of my friends though so this doesn't suprise me. I don't think I necessarily bend over backwards to please people though...but it does bother me when people are upset with me/critisize me/think I'm a failure etc You tend to be rather worried about being rejection by others. As a result, you may often find yourself bending over backwards to make sure you get and keep other people's approval. Rejection by the people in your life would be a serious blow to your self-esteem, and may be something you have experienced before. It's important for you to realize, as difficult as it may be, that the only approval you should be worried about is your own - and that the potential for rejection actually starts with you. In essence, if you don't respect and approve of yourself all that much, you project an image to others that says "I am not worthy, I am not good enough for you", which can result in the very rejection that you fear.
