It's hard to have low self-esteem. Sincerely.
There are so many people more fucked-up than me, that I have barely time of those who are more successful and sexier. It's not supposed to be a competition. But it is, obviously. We all know it. I'm not particularly interested in the competition, but it relieves me to know that I'm winning.
Even though, I don't really enjoy it when people acts like they're inferior next to me. I prefer it when they're cocky and vain... at least I can laugh at them, and pretend I'm submissive, but letting them know I'm not. But when it's the other way around, it's only funny for a couple of hours. After that, you realize you can never really be friends with someone who feels inferior.
