The card contains inspirational messages. Is it a self-esteem thing or what?

Ok, Flo, I didn't diss this person in any way. I was just asking what everyone thought about the practice of sending flowers to yourself. And they do not pretend they came from someone else. I had just never known anyone else to do this.

I would honestly think they are not very happy deep inside and need to do little things to cheer themselves up. Im not saying they are desperate or something bad like that, I just think they are a little bit lonely or need some cheering up in their lives.

Well, I've sent myself flowers before because I really love flowers and I've never had a person in my life who is big on flower sending. I wouldn't think too much about it. Maybe she was going through a tough time and needed cheering up. You never know-- maybe they were sent on the anniversary of her mother's death or something. When I was in training at my job for pharmaceutical sales, (8 weeks away from home), I sent myself and, (and my roommate) a beautiful bouquet of flowers because I needed cheering up. I don't think it is strange. Now, if you said the card said, "You are so perfect. I love you. Never leave..." then, that would be strange. :)

It sounds like this person is being their own best friend. Instead of dismissing this person out of hand, be nice & send him/her flowers or a card w/some kind words.

Wow! That is interesting. I have never heard of anything like that before. Maybe they feel better when sending flowers to themselves I guess. I don't know.

Depends on why they are sending the flowers to themselves if it is just a treat I guess it is OK kinda dumb but OK you can just go out and buy them and put them on you desk or in your home.
But if they are doing it so it would like like someone sent them then that's sad!!!!

Do what makes you feel good. Getting flowers makes you feel special then do it!
saying I love you in the merror and patting yourself on the back...you need to love yourself and be good to yourself...life is good and we all need to make the best of it. she is not hurting anyone so why do you all say things negative to a girl who sends herself flowers?
I think she is brilliant!

That is too funny,, I have never heard of anyone doing that..although they could of done it, and no one would ever know.
But now come to think about it,,, I am sure it is done all the time...

Many possibilities. Insecurity;loneliness;for the fun of it;to make themselves feel better, the possibilities are endless. I think it's kinda of cute. Shows that the person who does this has high self-esteem of themselves ( that's MY opinion) and that's good. definitely NOT desperate

I guess it's the easiest & fastest way for a, "pick-me-up?" on a blue day for that person.
I don't think it's so much of a self-esteem issue is more that sometimes we all need a little "me" time to ourselves to treat ourselves better.
Nothing wrong with that so long you don't go overboard =)

Either someone with a sense of humor, or a very lonely person trying to get the message through.
