Low Self Worth - Tumblr Posts
I think it’s kinda funny that you like me
‘Cause I don’t really like myself.
Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy that you want me
‘Cause I don’t really want myself.

I’m just a girl
Not pearl
Not too shiny
Or a beauty
But you say that
I am anyway.
~
I think you're kinda crazy
But maybe that’s me
‘Cause I don’t really
See what you see….
~
Not sure if I like this
Or it’s just low-self esteem
Tripping me up when it sees that I’m weak.
~
Yeah, I wanna believe
Just wanna believe what you say is true….
But there’s a part of me
That you don’t even see
And it’s the part of me that I hate
Clouding my mind with its daze
How can you love this mess in the mirror?

I think it’s kinda funny that you like me

Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy that you want me
‘Cause I don’t really want myself.

I’m just a girl
In a material world
Trying to find where
I fit in the mold.
~
Is there even a mold
That could hold me?
Or is there nowhere that I can go?
~
I don’t really know
I don’t really know
Why you think that I’m gold
When I’m a rock and don’t let you close.
~
I think it’s kinda funny…
Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy
That you love me even when I don’t.
~
What do you see?
Oh, tell me what you see….
Faded tear tracks on cheeks
Or the blood on my teeth from...
Oh, wait, that’s lipstick you see
Trying to hide the real me
Beneath the paint of the world
And I’m like, “Oh my gosh, is that me?”
Yeah, it’s funny what you see when you hide.
~
What do you see?
Do you really see me?
Or a puppet on a string
Suspended from the sky.
~
I don’t really know
Yeah, I don’t really know
How to feel but I know one thing is true.
~
I think it’s kinda funny…
Yeah, I think it’s kinda crazy
That you love me even when I don’t.
I don't know who needs to hear this but,
It's okay to say no
It's okay to set boundaries
It's okay to be mad at someone
It's okay to tell someone they crossed a line
It's okay to change your mind
It's okay to back out of something, yes even if it's something you initiated/started
It's okay to want space
It's okay to go back on a promise if it compromises your safety, mental health, etc.
It's okay to cut people out of your life for the same reasons
It's okay to not talk to people for the same reasons
It's okay to have limits
It's okay to say no
big fan of polite and minimal explanations when you need to get out of work, school, plans etc. just a definitive ‘sorry but I can’t make it today.’ and then if they press for details or are rude about it say ‘sorry, something came up. thanks for understanding’ i’m over the idea that you have to exaggerate/overexplain your situation even when you don’t want to do that to be worthy of flexibility and grace in your life
Have you ever gagged at the thought of yourself.
Thank you for what you said. Really. I have so much fucking confidence in myself now. "You've reached this far only to still be dumb as fuck" is what you told me. I've never done this before?!! It is NORMAL to make mistakes god dammit. Your fucking supportive comments is the last thing I need right now.
He hates it. All of it. It's trash to him. Just like me. I've disappointed him as usual. He said it's below basic level. BELOW. BASIC. LEVEL. FUCKING. BELOW.
I am a failure. As usual. I am below basic level. Below basic level.... below..........
