i did not say that, but now that we are sort of on the same page, let me explain. a person who sees himself as so above others, does not care what other people think of him, because in his eyes he is already perfect. a person who thinks himself worthless, (not that they SHOULD not act to gain respect from others…) is so downtrodden, so down on himslef, that you just cant get any lower. therefore, no matter how low others think he is, it pales in comparison to the low he feels about himself. therefore, the balance is to have enough confidence to know that he is worth something, but not to be so full of himself as to not care about what others think of him. i think i have made myself quite clear.
