Opinion of yourself

[RFayette 🇻🇦]

Good: fairly intelligent, considered to be pretty compassionate/helpful, pretty diligent/determined when I put my mind to something or really need the grade
Kids at school tend to see me as very nice and innocent, even though I don't necessarily see myself as that.
Bad:  borderline autistic behavior, low social skills outside of my science/math club and friend circles, periodic carelessness/laziness

I'll give myself an FF, though as a poster, I admit I'm not the greatest by any stretch.

That kind of describes me...

It's interesting, the other kids who have computer programmer/software engineer fathers that I know have similar personality defects.  It's kind of weird.

What you describe sounds an awful lot like the mental condition known as Antisocial Personality Disorder. I would advise you to seek psychological counsel.

And become a weak victim who exists to be exploited like the others? I think not.

Atlas polls about self-esteem and mental health are all over the place; this one's more encouraging, I suppose.

I really loathe being complimented.

Me too, actually.

This, especially if it's something I didn't feel like I deserved.
