The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Stephen R. Covey) / quote 167 of 203
Self-worth that fluctuates with status
If I’m in the presence of someone of greater net worth or fame or status, I feel inferior. If I’m in the presence of someone of lesser net worth or fame or status, I feel superior. My sense of self-worth constantly fluctuates. I don’t have any sense of constancy or anchorage or persistent selfhood.
