Sounds like to me, your right the opposite.Either that or you do have low self esteem, which means you dont think you fit in or that you are not good enough.Sometimes acting out and being cocky is used as a cover up for it.

Low self esteem is basically how you see your self and the value you apply to yourself as a person. To cut through the psych stuff to the heart it's basically how you are treated growing up will affect your confidence and how you see yourself. If anyone is told often enough that they are ugly, fat, a loser, or stupid, they will believe it even though it may not be true. You can be called fat when you're not and grow up believing you are and end up with an eating disorder. If a you tell a child long enouenough they are a waste of space they will believe it and never come close to the potential they really have. Another devastating situation is when a child tries to tell about someone abusing them and no one will do a thing. They will grow up believing that they weren't worth protecting and this sets them up for more abuse as they grow older. The more it happens the deeper that belief is ingrained. Adopted children often feel that they were rejected and if the biological parent/s couldn't find a way to keep them then they must be......well some have even said evil. What is being said and done doesn't need to be true to affect a person, it's what is said and done. i know of a friend who in grade 4 was stood at the front of the classroom every week. This teacher picked out 2 or 3 of the smallest children every year to do this to and everyone dreaded him. The rest of the class was allowed to make fun of them and if they cried they had to stand there longer. This poor child told her father and he said that he'd told the teacher he could do whatever he liked and the parents would stop him. This is less likely to happen now but it is true and you can't imagine the damage it did to the child. I have found that the only way to combat this is to take responsibility for your won actions regardless of what everyone around you is doing. I choose how I speak to people and treat them. Jesus had it right when He said to treat others how you would like to be treated. It's so simple but it would save so many a world of misery and pain. Join me, make a difference, treat people how you would like to be treated, it's fantasic for your ouwn self esteem!

Dear Julio,
Someone who is over confident usually is more of a loner and does not require many people in their life except for just a few close friends.. And they are usually very quiet about their sucess in anything.. power, strength, brain.. etc... They know how bold and confident they are so they are not looking for anyones approval.. they just go about doing their business.. these people are usually very successful people who no one knows they are successful...
Low self esteem is someone who is very vocal and is always trying to get attention and always causing trouble or just loud and yes cocky and arrogant.. because even though this person thinks they are proving themselves to others..Or they know they are all that... . they are really trying to convience them selves. Someone who says the same things over and over... are trying to convience them selves that they are something big or valuable. Everyone knows that the person who is the most trouble is the winner of low self esteem.. It has been proven over and over.
People who know they are.. and convienced could care less to convience others.. because it is enought that they know they are confident! This has also been proven.

Low self esteem, when you feel bad about different part of your life, or who are are. some people just get depressed where as others need to act out and be the center of attention. they need other people to see that they are there. Kind of like " look what i can do" and they get a kick out of making others feel bad. then they feel more important. But if they dont ask like this and are not the center of attention they get pissy

uhm low self esteem means you are nervous about your looks and personality and everything you seems a little to cocky, you have more EGO then anything so you dont have low-self-esteem unless you feel you do

low self esteem is when you do not belive in yourself enough. so that means you only have low self esteem if you do not belive you can change yourself to be a better person.
if you are over confident then you have high self esteem.

There is a difference between low self-esteem and pathetic. I believe from your questions you are the latter,

That sounds like you have too much self-esteem. Like you think you're better than everyone else.
