When twitter often put a hashtag code in their messages such as #ifyoureallyknewme, it allows us all to find messages with a common theme. This hashtag interests me because some of the people using it seem to feel to feel bad about themselves.

Look at a few anonymous messages

• #ifyoureallyknewme you’d know I have very low self-esteem, and no confidence.
• #ifyoureallyknewme .. you’d know, i’m not always who i choose to show you. #reallove try get pass my strong persona.
• #ifyoureallyknewme you’d know that i’m not really the person you see on the outside. I wish people could see past my waterline.
• #ifyoureallyknewme you would know tht I’m actually a really sensitive person..but ppl mistake tht for weakness..so I never show it
• #ifyoureallyknewme I care about everyone else before I care about myself.
• #ifyoureallyknewme You would know I sometimes feel like a loner and that noone cares about me.
• #ifyoureallyknewme you’d know that I wished I was better looking :/ I always think I’m not pretty enough -_-
• #ifyoureallyknewme youd know not to ask me whats wrong with me. Ill give you a list if youd like.

I sense low self-esteem, caring for others first, hiding who you are, not feeling you are enough and being overwhelmed.

What would it be like to

• be able to be comfortable with who you are;
• accept that this is what you’re feeling and thinking;
• to remember and be able to list things that make you like yourself and be proud;
• to find ways to be self-assertive, self-accepting and feel okay about what’s happening;
• be able to be honest and accepting of what’s going on;
• show more of yourself to others and be resilient against hurt;
• expect good things for yourself.
