It's not really a peak... It's well known and very common... You are your own worst enemy... reach down... do you feel your ballz ? Then everymorning as you look in the mirror to brush your teeth or shave, tell yourself you are worth something and have something to offer.. whatever that may be which is unique to you... it's called daily affirmation - SNL did a skit on it which whom I believe is now a congressman from Minnesota..
but the daily affirmation or another method to convince yourself of your own selfworth is the only way you can change your self esteem issue - no matter how it was started you have the ability to change it... simple.. free your mind and your ass will follow
