Very Sad asked in Social SciencePsychology · 7 years ago

How can I develop a sense of worthiness without feeling pompous or narcissistic?

In life, I feel that we all should be confident and proud of who we are as individuals. And in that instance, we should join a group and feel proud of who we are as a group. Well, I keep thinking that people do not want me to be part of their group because I come off as arrogant or too self assured.

I had a girl who I really liked A LOT! but she let me go because instead of asking her out, I kept B.Sing. all the time about other things. I regret that a lot to this day. It happened three years ago, and now I'm going crazy thinking about her. I still have her number and I might call her and tell her about me and how much I like her now and I liked her then. I am hoping she still has the same number. I think my arrogance might have killed it for me. I don't want to go on through life being that way, but I feel that I need to have some kind of worthiness to succeed in life otherwise I would be even worse off.

    It sounds more like insecurity to me. Your worth is not in confident. Confident come from doing something really well or from the environment who tell you. Your environment told you something differently than you wanted to hear. It is bc your insecurity. If it has been 3 years, I might think she moved on but worth the try. I would try to be friends and then see where it goes. My ex was condescending and he thought he was great.

    Then I told him off but I apology. It shocked him and now he wants to see months after and I am confused. When someone hurts you, you don't want to open wounds. That how I feel about him. He made no effort to apology for his actions so I will just keep moving forward with life. Be a kind person and you won't regret.
