SELF-ESTEEM is for losers.

Self-esteem is always based within the feminine mode of respect. “Everyone should have good self-esteem“, regardless of their actual contributions or abilities.

One should esteem oneself regardless of whether one is worthy of said esteem.

To this end, the dullard is praised as highly for butchering the English language as the wordsmith is praised for his beautiful sonnet evoking ancient imagery.

The incessant validation drives me crazy. Why should someone be congratulated for expected behavior? For example: one coworker answering a question correctly was rewarded with excessive praise. “That’s right, Kimberly. Thank you very much for the great answer” Why is proficiency praised when competency is expected?

This is greatly different from the previous masculine environments in which I’ve worked. Praise was doled infrequently and only upon achievement of great tasks. It makes me uncomfortable to be rewarded for menial duties.
