Believing in yourself

[Asmodean]

Self-belief is all you need.

It can get you far, if not by itself. However, you still only have a few days with no water and a few weeks with no food. Self-belief is not a magic wand. It will not conjure you that.

What it can, is help (to a degree) in salary negotiations, navigating the traffic, getting past the first date - that sort of stuff. It may help, but it will actually do absolutely nothing for you.

Only by believing in yourself can you love others.

[No one]

Why love when you can hate?

Only by believing in yourself can you love others.

I'm an embrace the self doubt sort of person.
And yet I love a few a other persons.
Makes me doubt the validity of single line wisdoms I read on the internet.

Putting it another way: Without self-respect, how can you expect to respect others?

[No one]

I don't.

In a way, I think this is "the right question." Personally, I wouldn't expect to respect somebody or be respected, but knowing one's own worth and being at peace with it may indeed contribute to more easily recognising worth in others - something to respect.

[MarcusA]

Believe, be, belong.

Why love when you can hate?

The answer is written on the wall sprayed with blood.

[MarcusA]

Believing in yourself is but one small step to believing in others.

[MarcusA]

Believing in yourself is simply saying yes to yourself.

[No one]

If you say yes too much, you'll go blind.

[Asmodean]

Yeah, those tidbits of grandma wisdom never seem to work for The Asmo. Still waiting for His palm-of-the-hand hair for having a wank every now and again.

Maybe it's them stolen severed hands He's been using. They are getting a bit... fermented, what with all this heat...

...Huh? What The Asmo's on about, you ask? Impossible to say. Mysterious ways and all that. Something about hair.

Self-love includes masturbation.

Self-doubt casts a long shadow on the fall of day.
