When you really don't want to do something, so your cover story is that you are in self isolation due to having Covid 19 symptoms.
Self Lie-solating: "Sorry boss, I have a cough and a sore throat, I will have to stay at home for ten days."
Then swiftly return to binge watch a new Netflix series.
That my friends is self lie-solation.

The self coming through as confident or hiding behind its ownself.
Self-esteem is an indicator of how people have treated you or you have perceived the treatment.
Can be positive or negative.

"That outfit it so you" will effect self-esteem. This is an example of a statement that can be taken positively or negatively.

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."

The age-old conundrum of "people who seek self-improvement vs. people who need self-improvement" --- generally speaking, the people who are conscientious and unashamedly self-examining enough to actively seek ways to improve themselves do not really need to self-improve very much, whereas the people who truly do need to improve themselves will not admit that they even HAVE a self-inadequacy problem, and so they arrogantly/impatiently refuse to seek or accept help in improving their character or behavior (think, the infamous "getters gettin' got" conversation between Madea and Dr. Phil).
Client, to counsellor, at the outset of their weekly meeting: Breaker one-five for reality check --- come on back?
Counsellor, playing along: Yeah, go ahead, Breaker --- reading you wall-to-wall and treetop-tall.
Client: Thanks --- that's a big ten-four, good buddy. Well, I'm in the process of trying to improve myself, and so I thought I'd send a random shout-out over the waves to check my progress. I've been trying to be more sociable and patient and helpful to everyone, visualize things more from their perspective, and so on.
Counsellor: Well, eights and other good numbers to you on THAT one, good buddy --- that's certainly a positive start. Have you tried self-help books?
Client: Oh, a great BIG ten-four THERE, good buddy --- I've read at least a half-dozen of 'em cover-to-cover, and loved every page; the problem, though, is that I never seem to find any new ideas --- most everything in there is stuff I already know about and am actively practicing, so the books just reassuringly confirm the nature and wisdom of my efforts, not provide fresh perspectives for further improvement.
Counsellor: Ah... well, ten-four, good buddy --- I totally "get you" there... the old "self-help paradox", eh?? The only people who'll read those books are ones who don't need 'em!
