Day 1 / Group Counseling / 160905

In truth, the group counseling I started in order to broaden my interpersonal relationships also includes, beyond that, giving kind words to others.

I'm glad because today's session ended after I heard a really wonderful remark that the idea of being able to give others concrete, positive feedback is a very altruistic notion.

There seem to be more people than I'd thought, really more than I'd thought, with low 'self-esteem.'

There seem to be more people than I'd thought who agonize over having low self-esteem.

Is there really an answer? My self-esteem is high right now, yet even so I agonize. About other people's self-esteem. Hoping that, for the time being, in this group counseling I'll be doing twice a week, I can play a role that 'contributes.'
