Do you feel that you are the best and you deserve the best?

Question

I certainly do and I make no apologies.
I do apologize for the number of adult women who don't feel this way it is really sad.

Arianne's answers causes me to feel defeated because she is 15. My goal would have been for women to think "Yes I am and Yes I do." This is powerful self affirmation. When I read the Q&A in the relationship section I realize this is what women are missing. I have several therapist in my family who confirm this. Most of their patients are women with low self esteem and who simply don't feel they deserve the best.

However, I already have my best answer. You are Brilliant. As Dr. Phil says you either get it or you don't. You definitely DO!

Answer 1

If you can learn to love and respect yourself, to accept yourself as you are, without judgment, then you will honor yourself by the choices you make. Yes, you are truly the best, you are unique in your own universe. Acknowledge yourself, honor yourself. And, as you make choices, in friends, in "things", in occupations and in life in general, you will make those choices that honor you. And others will recognize you as an honorable person. You are absolutely right and I celebrate your integrity.

Answer 2

By best, do you mean, over all people?

No, I am not the best, and I do not always deserve the best.
If I work hard, I'll earn the best, and then I know I deserved it. But as of now, at 15 years old, I see so much more people struggling that honestly would be more grateful than many people are. I take for granted all these materialistic things I have, while so much poverty would kill to have even a meal of dinner like I do. They work so hard, especially for their kids to have a better life. It's them who deserve the best.

Do I honestly think I am the best? No. I do believe I am my own unique individual.
Do I deserve the best? Everyone deserves the best, not everyone gets it though. I'd rather get the best when I earn it.

Don't apologize. I don't need it.

--- EDIT, yo.

mhm arianne's feeling a tad slow now. and it`s not because she's talking in third person. eh, i`d feel even more bad if a 50 year old woman had a low-self esteem. please, don't be confused that i have a low self-esteem. i`m positive about so many things -- its not even funny.

i know wayne dyer. and oprah. and "The Secret". and tyra banks. eh, i don't watch dr. phil, but, i`ve got it around there. i know self-confidence is important. but you can't always be on the top pedestal. i admire people and believe that they deserve so much more than what i take for granted, because i DO take things for granted.

but besides that, my own personal self-esteem when it comes to approaching my goals, i am confident in REACHING them. but before i even begin, i don't feel like i deserve the prize until i have worked hard for it -- because i know so much other people work hard for the same thing - even harder maybe - and don't get it. for example, if i sit idly at home in bed skipping a basketball game because i was too lazy, i`m not going to be going "oh! i`m the best!" but when i`m on the court, playing the game, face to face, i`ll believe i am the best, work hard, and earn the best there is to it. and if i don't get the prize, i`ll know someone worked so much harder than i did for that "best" thing whatever.

i`d rather work for it and deserve the best, knowing i am the best, than have it handed to me because i believe i am the best.

Answer 3

To an extent I would think that a large number of people manage to see all the good qualities within themself and then tend to see themself as the best and deserving of perfection in a significant other.

I know myself I am shy when it comes ot actually making a move, but I am completely selfless and always put the girl's happiness and well-being before my own. I am very polite, can be serious when needed, but am otherwise a fun-loving goof who can act as immature as is allowed.
Yes I feel I am very good and worthy of a nice girl, but that does not make me expect one and does not make me forget that my personality may not be what some are looking for.

Answer 4

The way to show you are the best is by your actions and how you carry yourself around other people.Don't praise yourself, let other people notice and tell you that you are the best. Then if you are the best of course you deserve the best. I think you still have a lot to learn. Were you born with a silver spoon?

Answer 5

I wouldn't say the best, but I would say don't sell yourself short. If you except the best chances are you will never find it and end up sad and lonely. Just do the best you can, recognise all man/women are not created equal and we did not have all the same opportunities out of life. But don't be a victim.

Answer 6

You sound pretty stuck up. The view that you are the best is completely flawed. However, I do agree with the critical selection of lovers. The person you are meant to be with will seem like the best to you.

Answer 7

I am one and only. I am exquisit and exentric. Many women think less of themselves for many reasons, but we all have alot to offer. We are like snowflakes: we are all different in many ways, but are still beautiful, and feel good on the tongue.

Answer 8

yes what ever you do to make you the best you deserve the best. off course its a way to praise yourself of doing the best.

Answer 9

I never feel like that ,I feel that we are all the same, and I know when I'm wrong to someone and I say that I'm soory , And I'm just a humble person

Answer 10

Yeah, i do. I make no apologies for myself either. In fact, I even tell people that I love myself and they should love themselves too. THANK YOU FOR DOING THE SAME!
