I'd probably say mine is a little below average.

I definitely agree with you that a good night's sleep definitely helps on the self esteem front. I don't take medication so I can't speak there, but a good night's sleep really seems to help me throughout the day in feeling good about myself.

Good, I think! I'm intimately familiar with my strengths and weaknesses, and can appreciate how they combine to make a unique, three-dimensional person.
Growing up helps with this a lot, for you young'uns who are still in your 20s. You get challenged, you get knocked around, and you stop being so afraid of failure, rejection, and criticism. Those things happen to everybody, because nobody's perfect, and you're no better or worse than anyone else. So just live and be interested and engaged. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, as they say.

It's so much better than it was last week! I felt left out and sad a few days ago, due to hurtful comments made to me; But I sort of feel better.

It's weird, when I'm with friends or in a group of people I think I have good self esteem and confidence, but when I'm alone I tend to feel terrible about myself and what I accomplish in life.

Yeah it indeed helps though it can get tricky when your medication screws up your sleeping patterns.

My self esteem is actually so bad I don't even have the confidence to post here. I just assume (probably correctly) that everyone sees me the way I see myself and will just completely ignore and disregard whatever idiotic dreck I post. I don't say that out of self-pity, I actually think my best possible contribution is to just shut the f*** up. I do know some people remember me and wonder where I've been so there's your answer, and it's relevant. I hate myself and think I'm too stupid to live and none of my opinions are worth dick. I do think I'm handsome and witty though, so I think I'm fair to myself.

Stared high when I was younger, then my health problems started to hit me at around elementary school, which sent my self-esteem crashing to low levels.
Health got worse around high school and college, and at that time I was kinda isolating myself. As I reached my twenties, I started to contemplate and try to resolve my issues. More or less, I was able to practice my confidence once I started working. I found out that I can do a great job at work, and I was surprisingly popular.

I may be dumb. But I'm not a dweeb. I'm just a sucker with no self esteem.

It depends on how other people are treating me. Even just a couple of months ago I had no self esteem at all and sometimes had no motivation to get up in the morning. But lately, thanks to coworkers and a new person in my life, I feel much better about myself and am genuinely happy most of the time. Haven't felt that way in a long time.

My self esteem will boost if the OP likes my post But seriously, I don't even focus on my self esteem because it changes so often. Ups, downs, and all arounds but LIFE still happens.

I'm a bad cartoon character. My ego is wayyyy over the top. But I think I balance it well. I think I am the greatest, but also think everyone else is cool.
I was like you Orange. Had simular high school experences. But as an adult it all changed. One day I was looking in a mirror and hating myself, when it dawned on me. Why did I actually hate myself? What did the guy in the mirror ever do to deserve all the crap he has taken? Nothing, he is a good guy.
So I started liking me and its been down hill ever since.

I've never had any, so I guess my self esteem is nonexistant.

I have really awesome friends and a hectic social life which keeps my self esteem pretty high. I've learned to value myself and my relationships with others and not really give a f*** about negative energy. My philosophy is if someone doesn't like me for who I am they can go f*** themselves.
