I personally know that I am unique and interesting. I think I have achieved enough in my life and through in my interactions, that I am smart and an interesting person and I have no doubt on it as others feel it as well. But for some reason I feel the need to constantly prove it to others, Although I know if I have self-worth then irrespective of me proving that im worthy to others, I must feel that self-worth but that is not the case. For example, If I am sitting with my friends, I will constantly try to make them feel that I am up to their mark, even though I think I am better than them, but still in that group I constantly feel the need to prove myself, mostly because they all are a group of intellects and they do not consider me as worthy as themselves, and I think as long as I am proving it to them, I am okay or else, they would still think I am inferior. Another example is in my relationship, My girlfriend has a really high self-esteem, she is a single-child, born and bred to know that she is unique and she is entitled to things and she gets unfair with alot of them but that isnt the important, whats important is that she acts and behave like she is great. So, as her boyfriend, I constantly feel the need to prove her that I am worthy of being in a relationship with her, Although I personally know that I am better than her, just like I know that I am better than my friends. By better, I mean that whichever things my friends discuss, I have a better grasp at that topic than them, and whatever my girlfriend does to satisfy me, I do it better to her. If it helps, I am currently 21 and in the final year of college.
