being introverted or keeping to oneself isn’t always an attribute of a low self esteem; for me, it’s actually the other way round. i often feel like most people aren’t good or intelligent enough for me, hence they are likely to misunderstand me and my way of doing things.
keeping to oneself will likely be the case if you value your abilities and feel like you’re good enough for the tasks; not everyone believes in teamwork and this method works for me.
i don’t feel the need to keep a bunch of friends and it’s not because i don’t feel good enough about myself but rather, my perceived insignificance of having such people around me.
This too long , you have low self esteem undecided

OP learn and read about introversion then you will realize you are mixing things up.


There are some traits in ur post that are attributed to introverted people
Because someone is an introvert does not mean he has low self-esteem.

Tacha is an extrovert and she has low self-esteem.

There is one particular tribe in Nigeria with strong and outspoken people but they have low self-esteem

Because I don't keep friends does not mean I have low self-esteem

Low self esteem is all about how you see or rated your personality, it is a social sickness that appears in different forms based on different factors.

Contrary or in addition to the lists, any effort/urge to prove superiority or dominate, or impress, or to be recognized or grab power... etc, are chronic sign of low self.

If you know your real personality, if you can breath without social oxygen, you will know that both low self and high self esteem are sickness of the same brand; just different face.

Op you are absolutely wrong . For one, you said people with low self esteem do not accept criticism but everyone understands this is an attribute of someone with high self esteem .Not accepting criticism is highly similar to overconfidence and someone with low self esteem is no where near any confidence level as you indicated yourself.

Never knew that having no friends is a sign of low self esteem

That one is very incorrect, most Scientists and inventors who believed in themselves have very few friends. Most were introverted like yours truly.

So I disagree with the OP on that one.

Psalm2423:


Please correct them bro. Most people can think nonsense. That was how one idiot came to quarrel with me for always staying indoors. If my job is a work at home position, and I can order the basic things of life directly to my doorstep, is there any need to be jumping around the world? I’m an introvert, I hate phone calls unless we’re close. If we’re close, I can talk for 2 hours nonstop, else, everyone else is a nuisance.

I actually don’t keep friends cause I know they’re more fake than real. Messi is more like an introvert, he doesn’t run all the after match comment, rarely do you see him off-season. So he has low self esteem right? Most rich men just don’t have friends, and they don’t need them.

Albert Einstein
Isaac Newton
Buddha
Gandhi
Jesus without his disciples
Owner of Tesla (I just forgot his name)
Your favorite Bill Gates who stays away from people to come up with new ideas.
Trump (since you said they blame others, then he has low self-esteem right?)
Buhari (same with Trump, daddy has been blaming past administrations).

Please OP research before you write. While some points are true, never generalize. That’s why we have the statement: “all Rottweilers are dogs, but not all dogs are Rottweilers.”
bro I really admire your intellectual prowess the way you broke Everything down tells alot about your personality I admire that alot, most people don't know the difference between low self esteem & been an introvert

If the owners were interested in monetizing the forum, assuming the site has around 40,000 real members (the number be could be lower than that), and they (site owners) charged say $10 per year for subscription, that's $400,000 give or take.

I see you're scared of communication tax.

https://www.nairaland.com/5450079/senate-proposes-law-tax-nigerians

$20 per year subscription for 40,000 actual people, would be around $800,000.

Even if up to 60% goes on taxes, there's plenty left: $320,000

Operating costs in Nigeria, maybe $50,000 to $100,000 (over time, not upfront).

So, theoretically, it's still good.
