Re: Do you think hypocrites have low self esteem?

Being a hypocrite and being one who criticizes is not the same thing IMO. It seems some are interchanging the two words. I don't think being a hypocrite has anything to do with self esteem, but if anything, it would be high self esteem/narcissism rather than low. You jump to point out the fault in others, but could never fathom you could be guilty of the same.

Not necessarily. I think some do and some don't.

It's almost like your asking two questions OP............the title and then the quote.........I don't think that someone who is critical is necessarily a hypocrite................................raven

I think they often have very HIGH self esteem.

They can't see their own faults...just the faults of others.

I agree with this.

So do I. The biggest hypocrite I know thinks she deserves to be worshipped.

Hypocrites like this are often very arrogant.

Re: Do you think hypocrites have low self esteem?

My first thought: Maybe (their self esteem) a bit too high for their own good.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

p.s. And then, telling everyone what to do, and then doing the exact opposite. (Maybe a control issue.)

Re: Do you think hypocrites have low self esteem?

I do not think being a hypocrite has anything to do with self esteem. Most hypocrites I've known simply do not care what others think.
