I'd say I have low self esteem, but it isn't detrimental to me. I accept who I am and for the most part I am a pretty humble guy, so I don't really see the need to fluff my own feathers. I do know when I am right about something though and I am not afraid to speak up when the time is right.
Do you think that high self-esteem requires bragging? I am not sure. I think those who are truly confident in themselves, are pretty modest. Maybe they understand the dunning-kruger effect better or something.
Yeah, that is a good point. I guess I wasn't really thinking when I wrote the comment originally!
