Struggling with Low Professional Self-Esteem
by toughIdea9215
Last post
 Friday
...See more Hi! I am new to 7 Cups but I joined recently because I have been dealing with a lot of different mental health issues. One thing I have been struggling a lot with is self-esteem when it comes to my professional/educational worth. I have been dealing with a lot of feelings of imposter syndrome in my job that I have right now, despite being supported by awesome leadership. The reason that I am posting to this thread is because I am also a college student and would like to take on a summer internship this summer, but I recently had a bad experience a couple of months ago with a prior internship. The boss and I did not communicate in the same style at all, and I was often scrutinized heavily for my work. I am grateful to have a boss now at my actual job who can give constructive criticism instead of just tearing me down. But the problem is that I want to grow my professional experience, which is why I want to take on a summer internship alongside my current job. I am just feeling as though every internship is going to be like the one that I had a couple of months ago with the harsh boss. Those experiences I think are why I am struggling so much with my self image professionally. I felt as though I was treated as less than. The boss definitely had a superiority complex, and for that reason he did not feel that he needed to treat anybody with any type of kindness. I hope I don’t sound like I am being too sensitive and like I can’t take feedback. This boss really actually was at a different level when it came to offering suggestions or corrections and now it just feel like my work isn’t good enough and like I am not good enough to get another internship.  Does anyone have any advice on how to heal from workplace trauma, a.k.a. unkind bosses? Or any advice on how to realize that my professional worth doesn’t come from only one situation? Because I am young and a college student, I don’t have a lot of professional experience yet, which I also think contributes to my feelings of inferiority when it comes to the professional world. I really don’t know where else to turn right now so that’s why I’m posting this here. Any advice that you may have is greatly appreciated🫶🏻

Self-esteem self worth

...See more I have been dealing with self worth esteem issues since I was young. I am 29 years old almost 30 and I feel like I dont worth a ***. My self esteem comes from external factors which is the problem. I always compare myself and have high expectations from myself. I always beat myself up for not being where I should be. it became more intense since the job market got trashy. I cant seem to find a job that pays well and I know Im not alone but its eating me out from inside.. and I feel like I will never get the job..I got a masters degree in Information Science amd have a bit of background but I dont know what it is its just a constant rejection from get go.. I applied more than hundreds applications not to lie if I say its more than 500.. I moved my home from another country to have a future but it seems like this better future and American Dream has been dead for a decade and I had no idea… I am so hopeless anyone feeling the same? :)

On setting up boudaries

...See more There are many ways of setting boudaries and everyon masters its own if they are lucky... not everyone is in a situation where they feel comfortable to put boundaries. Which one is your style and more importantly, do you consider moving away from an uncomfortable situation a valid way of putting boundaries? Let's open a discussion :)

...See more Idk what this is really (other than social anxiety) but like one of my old special needs school friends added me on ***, all they DM'd me was some kind of hideous 3D avatar thing smiling (I dont use *** much Idk what that means), Im a bit concerned, are they taking the ***? I may claim to be introspective and *** yet I'm so non self-aware.  Past incidents of emotional dysregulation are just beyond the standard definition of upsetting. Im struggling to decide where to get the bus to to smoke, ideally as close to home as possible so by the time I get home Ill still be high enough to read r/morbidquestions or smth. But i want to be stoned in Seaham because I like Seaham even though its a bigger distance. Im the king of downvoting downvote me into oblivion your highness 👑 *** I take pride in = having an enquiring mind, "overthinking", being autistic, coming up with fake  scenarios, cringing at how based other peoples vocabulary etc can be,  *** I take shame in = oversharing, needing therapy, caring what others think, "lashing out" (more so than all the others), kind of to a lesser extent vaguely Giving a *** about aesthetics, crying because someone else seems more [the way I would like to be] than I am, extremely impulsive careless self-neglectful behaviour ambivalent = obsessing over typology labels (although more the bottom than the top), identifying with Snufkin

feeling just so insecure

...See more on this website titled Similar Worlds (as a reddit alternative because I am permanently suspended) I made a post about NPCs because it happened to be on my mind  the commenter with the username "trash" made me feel so insecure. He was the kind of person I thought I was but then I checked his profile history and I felt shocked at how wittier (and also less of a self-obsessed introspective pick-me narcissist faking *** just for love and admiration in comparion) they were. so ashamed of how irrational I am. so ashamed of how shallow I am. so ashamed at how everyone is noticing how anti-self I am. too confused to think straight. too complicated issues to be given a helpful enough but also not too upsetting response.

Fluctuating

...See more I have self esteem issues. Whether it’s friendships, love, my job - I have only a few times felt like myself. My job has been making me insecure. I recently found I like other aspects of my job more than others and want to see if I could somehow find a role for me in my company to do that. I like the people but sometimes I don’t feel like myself or that I’m too much (hence the term Too Chalant). I’m having a hard time with project management tasks but also know I’m doing my best - but clearly my best isn’t enough. I ask for help but just get criticism and hear my coworkers saying “this is concerning” Wouldn’t you rather have me ask how I can be better? Instead - I get criticism and I’m not growing. I’m just being shut down. My friendships make me insecure. I love my friends I really do, but I always feel judged. I have in my mind that their expectations of me are so high when it comes to myself, my job, boyfriends, etc. I know they love me but I want to scream that my life is none of their business. I know they care and I love them but I really just want to be me and make mistakes but not be scrutinized by them constantly. I really try and better myself with affirmations but they never work. I really want to believe what I’m saying but I’m a “seeing is believing” person. I have positives and negatives but in my mind, my negatives outshine the positives. I don’t know how to stop it. Sure, I pat myself on the back when something good happens, but there’s always the “you could have done this better” concept that outshines that one positive moment. How do I stop that? And how do I believe the affirmations I see and get the negatives out of the way? I truly believe in the “Let Them” theory. It’s taking time but I want it to work. It’s hard when you have so many people that care about you and you feel so so loved, yet at the same time you are the loneliest you have ever been. I have a great support system but I want to be there for myself too. How do I work on this?

...See more I don't normally get any followers at all on *** because I rarely use it, although I have posted a few things (mostly selfies and quick meaningless diary entries) and added long lost friends from the special needs school (*** is for smoke only). However someone made a friend request and I am not happy. My ego is ruined. My day is ruined after some weird r/im14andthisisdeep level quotes Bible references account followed me on ***. I feel like my younger self. Everyone thinks of me like "dumb cringe Drunning Kruger Indian ESFP RLOEN in Ni grip that thinks theyre smart but is in fact an idiot making the dumbest predictions ever" also transvestite that tries to look cool but always looks *** ridiculous whenever compared to an actually cool person and is also misgendered by like everyone and has outbursts in public Ugliest possible human ever please help I JUST WANT EVIDENCE FROM OTHERS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THAT I AM more ecto than endo/meso more night owl than morning lark (generally speaking, this is very vague) more I-N-T-x and more ennea 5/6/7/9 than ennea 2/4/6/8 more androgynous-masculine than feminine, macho tough, or like ugly non-binary etc etc etc The way i want to be basically Not to mention the kind of comments id get on my youtube channel that made me insecure af about my personality Please help, I am drowning in insecurity

Dealing with Criticism
by aph997
Last post
 March 1st
...See more Hi everyone, I’ve realised that I have never really learnt how to deal with criticism or failure before. I internalise it and it grows and grows until it’s all I can think about. I have depression and it starts off a spiral every time. There are incidents of failure in my past that I think about regularly and I engage in negative self talk. My question is how do you deal with criticism? Is there a way I can stop it ruining my life? Thank you x

self-esteem is dependent on MBTI / enneagram
by camo303xvp
Last post
 March 1st
...See more Idk if I should even post this, it's so personal and awkward. But it really bothers me. putting something I wrote (or a sentence I relate to) into uClassify and getting ESFP Or taking MBTI tests and getting ESFP it hurts more than anything else Like to the point of being unable to enjoy anything, to the point of crying [in other words: my entire day is instantly ruined] goes to show how I'm too impulsive to live It makes me overly observant of, and extremely critical of, my own behaviour (especially regarding strangers in public, or just other people in general) am I being too loud? am I oversharing? am I being dramatic? am I acting impulsively? other people conversely acting more and more INTJ in comparison makes me feel even more like [aforementioned typology I do not want to be], resulting in more distress Not to mention how embarrassing it is to be like this to begin with (unhealthy obsession with typology)
