Ever since I was accused of having low self esteem ("This is why we can never be together."), I've gone out of my way to prove to myself how much this isn't true. I'm not sure where that impression came from. I certainly had low self esteem when I was a teenager. I don't always think I'm the best person ever, but I like myself. I like how I look, I like who I am. I like the kind of people who like me. So I settle at the end of the night and say I don't need to prove to people that I am an attractive likable person, because I know I am.
