I lack self-esteem and therefore I lack confidence. But one argument I've always heard is this:
Imagine a diamond mountain. To other animals like eagles and coyotes that mountain means nothing other than an obstacle or a home. But to humans because of the value they put into diamonds in their minds, it is a show of immeasurable amounts of wealth.
And so applying this logic to self esteem. Apparently it you simply put value into yourself and think highly of yourself, suddenly you'll be taking care of yourself in the traditional sense (dressing up, cologne etc.) and as a result of this youre going to be more confident and more able and so you will be more successful and as a result have more respect in general.
Do you really think this is true? Or are there flaws to this argument. Can one really put value into oneself if no one else puts value into them? Kind of like "them" here referring to coyotes and oneself meaning "diamond mountain". Is this logic flawed?
