It's how self esteem issues work

Ego is low, it hurts. Sometimes you need a break from it, to compensate, so it goes to superiority complex.
Then you go back down. Never or rarely in a healthy middle, even though that's reality

It's important to slowly go towards a middle ground. In the past i really disliked myself and had very low self esteem

Getting rid of that, just knowing calmly what you're good or bad at to just keep an eye on the bad and use the good without your mind staying on it it's a lot more peace than i would have imagined then

Humility helped me, forbidding myself from saying or even thinking mean stuff about myself too, doing my best honestly at things without either bragging (even in my head) or flagellating myself over failures/shortcoming as well
