Is your self-image low and do you think it should be higher? Maybe it’s something that could be fixed?

My self image fluctuates really

Well if one would only rely on your own image then. I think this the biggest illness causer that you rely on the other people’s opinion too.

It fluctuates, but because of the blunting effect of the AP, I never have full self confidence.

Mine fluctuates a lot too. I feel like it’s really bad in the summer. Like if I’m just wearing a tee shirt, shorts, and flip flops or something like that than I feel like I look like a bum. I think other people look nice though in that type of outfit. Some days though if I dress up really nice then I have good confidence.

My self-image is based on my self-acceptance. I try to treat everyone with dignity and respect, but sometimes I fall short and that’s okay. It’s a learning opportunity.
As for looks, I do bear the burden of being the sexiest man alive, but I’m able to temper that feeling with my extraordinary humility.

I think my bipolar part of my schizoaffective really effects how i see myself at this time or another. Sometimes i think i look like gods gift to humanity haha, and other times i think i look like a literal monstrous feral beast. But lately ive been more realistic and not as concerned with my self-image. At least im trying to.

My self confidence is completely tied up to my image. Waiting for Mounjaro to reduce my excess weight enough to feel like myself again and hopefully have some confidence.

I have decided to think about my self-image without asking no-one else. And, no, I wont become a bad person - I will hear up what people think, but pre-thinking bad things about myself is unnecessary.

My self image goes up and down. Somedays I’m even delusionally arrogant and others have a deep deep inferiority complex…

I think I have a good self-image most of the time
It’s just sometimes when I have anxiety about something I did and I’m like I did wrong , I can beat myself a bit

I find this kinda interesting phenomenon to witness on my behalf. Since I happen to have diminished or vague sense of self quite possibly caused by this illness, thus it is pretty hard to answer what this self even is. They call it depersonalization as a psychological term or kundalini from a more mystical perspective. Maybe it is just a pathology or relief from some of pain possessing ego. Maybe some sort of diffusion in the face of prolonged mental pain. Difficult to tell from within, could be part of low level psychosis as well. Human mind is a mysterious thing to experience, that is for sure. So thank you life for this yet another odd gift strange brains can possess.

I don’t pay to much attention to my appearance. I have little control over it. I try to dress nice. I don’t really think about myself. I get lost in ideas. I’m naturally curious. I can be outgoing or introverted. I prefer to be left alone. I talk to people out of necessity in public situations. I talk to my mom. She brings it out of me. My mom is a talker. She talks to everyone non stop. They all know her at the grocery mart. It’s like walking into the store with a celebrity.
