Self esteem

The REASON Jordan Peterson says it doesn't exist is that you feel that way explicitly because you have external validation.
Hym "BUT... The REASON Jordan Peterson cries like a bitch is the realization that that external validation can occur in the absence of merit. In spite of the fact that you are a piece of shit. So now you are collectivizing against me to prevent me from getting it because YOU THINK... That all of the 'hard work' you have done should amount to or equate to 'creating AI' and it doesn't. You can't match the creation of AI but what you CAN DO... It try to obstruct me so that I have to be down here with you... AT ANY COST. And it WILL cost more than you can recoup. This is why self esteem isn't real."

Self-esteem oscillation

A psychological pattern in which a person's self-evaluation shifts between self-importance and self-doubt. The individual alternates between feeling superior and inferior. The alternation is both random and reactive. The self-esteem of the individual can alternate alone without any influence, although external factors like success and failure can influence the self-esteem aswell.

The magnitude of the alternation can be big to some individuals, but it can also be small. It's often big enough to be internally (and sometimes externally) visible, but not big enough to have a major impact on the day-to-day life of the individual.

Self-esteem oscillation is descriptive, not diagnostic. It can appear in otherwise completely healthy individuals. The central issue is not arrogance or insecurity alone, but rather the instability between them. Self-esteem oscillation is curable.
"He sometimes comes across as arrogant, but it's really a case of self-esteem oscillation. One day he feels superior, the next he doubts his self-worth again."
