Title Missing (2016)


Fixed



Children? Now and then I wonder how the boomers (I am one) could ever have come up with the concept of "low self-esteem".

And not to get sidetracked into politics, the man elected president in November 2016 seemed to have just plenty of self-esteem.


As I understand it, narcissists have little-to-no self-esteem, and cope by convincing themselves (and others) of how awesome they are.


not just the children :D
