writes:I've been a single child and all my family surrounded me with love. But for about a year now, I have self-esteem issues, I'm insecure and I feel unworthy of their love. Believe me, I'd love to know why, but I simply can't find its roots. I don't know if it lies in my childhood, when I was pointed out for every mistake, when my family (aunts and cousin) were telling me that I was a failure, that I was fat and that no guy will ever look at me. Well, in the last 6 years, I regained my confidence, I felt beautiful and smart.But ever since I met my bf, we're being a couple for a year and half now, I feel like all these hidden issues emerged and intensified. BUT WHY? He is the most loving and understanding man, he tells me I'm beautiful and that I should that too, he tells me how smart I am and how much he loves me, he always keeps his promises, but for some reason, I just think he's saying it just because he's my bf. He's trying to help me get over it. Also, whenever I'm talking to someone, I talk about myself and I refer to things from MY point of view. I think I'm overly narcissistic, I've made some research on the internet, but I'd still like to know from people like me or people who have met other people like me: Why do I feel the need to talk about myself so much?

 Often when people have self-esteem issues they subcontiosly talk about them selves for a boost. When they talk about themselves it gets the other person thinking about them too. So in away you could be trying to get them to think better of you. Think about getting a thrispist. They are there to listen to anything you say and can give you advice and techniques to help you. :)
