intellegent – what’d i do wrong now???

lol it’s supposed to be a good thing. i worked hard at it! well… for about a minute… now it just come naturally… :}

BTW – if you met me you’d know it was me in a second because of that part of my nature. lol just a little hint. that’s how people define me.

(and guys are REALLY insecure – for the most part they’re WAY too intimidated! the only guys who aren’t put off are the ones who don’t get it :})

chevra stop fighting.

I really hope it’s all shtick. I’m seriously starting to get nervous. With an attitude like yours, I don’t think you want to go out at this point. You should not feel proud of “guys being intimidated by you”. I hope this is all in jest.

“charlie – it’s not ALL shtick…”

At what point does a healthy self-esteem and a big ego collide?

it’s a fine line. i think i have it down pat. don’t worry – i’m not a person who assumes everything is ok. i’ve spoken to a rav about it. he said “keep it up!” lol i’ll be honest – i used to have a crushed self-esteem- while i was messing up in high school (before and afterward too). it took me a little while to build myself up again. now i’m probably more healthy than most people in that area. don’t worry – i’m ok!

:}

hey it’s not an ego. it’s self esteem

an egotistic person thinks “i’m better than you.” they’re confidence is based on how much better they are than the next guy.

high self-esteem is just – i’m special because i use the talents God gave me. and yes, when i do something better than the next guy it’s cuz God made me more capable in this area. and when someone does something better than me – mine is still great – even if i got a 95 and he got a 100.

i’m not better than everyone else. i’m just… ME! got it?

brooklyn : your’e wrong it is an ego.

i don’t think you’re right on that one. i’ve had many discussions with rabbonim that i’m close with and i’ve been to a few classes on this topic.

brooklyn19,

ego, self esteem, whatever. You have a really wierd way of thinking and you have a very high opinion of yourself whichever way you wanna look at it. Calm down about yourself. There are other people as great as/greater than you created in this world.

i dont get welcomed?

lkjhgfdsa:Welcome to the cr. let me tell you the rules. 1) no not nice language. 2) only maturity thank you. How old are you?

hey if rabbonim told you that, then I aint gonna argue. Besides why argue with someone as brilliant as yourself? I’m bound to lose. 🙂

oh, and welcome, just the same!

brooklyn,

I’ll fess up, I’m only 8. You got me.

I agree completely to that repost – that the inability to admit that one is wrong is due to the ego not self esteem.

you do give the impression that you know it all but I was able to tell that that was due to shtick and that underneath it there is just a healthy self esteem

Charlie brown is the character in the book about this boy in England? I think he gets into mischief and it takes place during the war so they are evacuated to the country? Or is that the guy from peanuts? I know, I’m confused.

as i wrote it, i realized i was mixing something up. forget it.

asdf- u should just know that u really are a trend setter, bec when i made up my user name it didnt let me do zxcvbnm it said it was already taken…so zxcvbnm is lurking somewhere and we have to wait for him/her to come out of hiding

sure -go right ahead lol

squeak,

I have no clue who you are referring to by edmund. I think there is an old book that my elementary teacher read to us (it was out of print even at that time) about a kid. I don’t remember the name but it was probably somehting similiar so I mixed it up.

mohelkadosh

Welcome.

Are you really a mohel?

Are you kadosh?

squeak,

Are you referring to C.S. Lewis’ Narnia series?
