Lera, accompanied by music, makes a beautiful demonstrative turn around herself, bows delicately, greeting everyone.
Lera (hello, warmly, to the viewer). So what? Shall we start getting acquainted? You already know my name now. And yes, as happens with many, I don't like my name. Is there anyone else in the audience who doesn't like their name? Raise your hands, interesting. Well, don't be shy, all your own.
Looks, counts (if there are decoy viewers, you can participate here).
Lera (warmly, to the viewer). Frankly speaking, not liking your name is kind of not very good. You have to love yourself, absolutely. To love completely and completely, completely and in all places. For if you will not love yourself, then it is foolish to expect love for yourself from the environment. This is practically an axiom that has been convincingly reinforced by the life experience of previous generations… That's how it is.
But!
The whole problem is this! No one is confused by the fact that we have barely been born, we already have to love ourselves. And here again. Why should they? To whom do you owe? And in general – there's not much to love either! Nothing has been achieved, nothing has been achieved. Absolutely nothing has been done, except, maybe, a couple of shoddy diapers – vests. So what? And for what to love? Just like that? Here I was born – love her!
I think this is wrong. That's the one who thinks like that, as a result, often becomes a narcissist. I agree that you need to love yourself, but I don't think that you need to love yourself just like that without any reason. Do something for which you will respect yourself, appreciate what you will be proud of, for which you will love yourself. Something that is truly worthy of respect. Then love yourself to your health. And so, you know, if you lie on the couch all your life, naturally grow a new-fangled sirloin, get into your head the idea of how beautiful, irresistible and the best I am, and admire myself day by day… So-so variant. No, it's better than having low self-esteem and feeling like nobody even with all your life's victories. But it's not good enough either.
By the way! I recently read about a self-esteem training course. I don't know, to tell – no? Is anyone interested in this at all?
