Lone Goat posted:Counterpoint, if someone goes out of their way to compare themself against your exes, just tell them the truth and watch them wilt because if they're dumb enough to ask they deserve everything they get. If your self esteem is dependent on being compared favorably to someone else, you don't actually have any self esteem.

OctaMurk posted:Also, rolled my eyes at the part where she was upset about working with excel a lot, as if it is a tool for people beneath her intellect. (1) Things need to get done, and you are getting the excel work done. Excel is used by people who make 100x what you do. It's a tool, and mindlessly entering things in excel commands a different pay than creating value with excel. (2) It sounds like a toxic environment with incompetent management, and moving on from it is a good idea. (3) Being defiant toward management and acting in a way that makes the company look bad isn't a good idea. There's a difference between bringing up concerns in private and undermining them at an event. There's a difference between probing about whether things are a consideration for a future event or not and being combative, aka toxic yourself, based on your own expectations. Given it's from her perspective, it's hard to say how much #3 is happening. The management clearly sucks because they do garbage tier things, like interrupt her when she's in a meeting with a client. How come she hasn't gone to the boss above her manager? Similarly, if she is pulling the stuff in #3 they suck at managing because they haven't fired her rear end yet. girl pants posted:She has a bachelor's, a master's, and six years of experience at 23?

What doesn't make sense? The truth is that if you're looking for someone to compare yourself to so that you feel better about yourself, or worse about yourself, you'll find them. There's always someone better at something and always someone worse at something than you are. Its all a matter of where you want to point your telescope - which is your decision, not an objective measurement. If you're setting your own bar for self worth, why not set it wherever you want?

All comparison is odious is a fair platitude but doesn't hold up under reasonable scrutiny. Totally divesting yourself of comparison is such an unreasonable contention that I doubt more than a handful of people could even possibly qualify as having self-esteem under it. Following it to its logical conclusion, the only allowable (and bulletproof) source of self-esteem is that constructed by an internal framework - i.e. self-satisfaction from personal goals and living within a personal moral code etc. But even those things inevitably borrow from comparison to other human beings, because every subjective concept we understand comes with reference to others - fitness, artistic merit, morality and so on. Just don't laser in constantly on other individuals or put all your self-esteem eggs in one basket. e: Palpek's platitude is way better. So much better it makes me feel like poo poo. gently caress you Palpek.

the obvious intent of expressing the value of self-esteem is that which you lay out in your second paragraph (an internal framework of self-worth). for the sake of verbal autofellatio you pretend that it was your proposal made for the sake of argument and then needle it with semantics that don’t actually discredit it

My [21M] mom [48F] found my themed porn collection and now things are beyond awkwardquote:No easy way to say this other than my mom accidentally stumbled upon my porn collection two days ago. This would be a non-issue except for the fact that my porn collection is 400+ mother/son incest videos, 30+ mom/son literotica stories, a 600+ image mom/son imgur album and even loving online comics of the same nature.
