6 Symptoms of Low Self-Esteem
Low
self-esteem is something that many people across the world
deal with on a daily basis. Poor self image
and lack of confidence leads to a fearful mindset. This article
will show you several symptoms of low self-esteem that you
can use to see if you, or someone you know, fit(s) the bill.
1.
Inability to make decisions.
A
person suffering from low self-esteem often has extreme difficulty
making decisions
for themselves or others. You’ll rarely find them in managerial
or supervisory positions simply because they lack the ability
to make good decisions in a timely manner.
2.
Enormous amount of shame.
Poor
self-esteem always causes a sense of shame
inside a person. They are ashamed
because they don’t look a certain way or act in a way
they think others
expect them to. Shame is often a driving factor for
someone suffering from low self-esteem.
3.
The need to be perfect.
One
of the major signs of poor self-esteem is the incessant
need for that
person to
be perfect. A huge majority of perfectionists embrace
that frame
of mind because they think by being “perfect” they
will please others or make others like them more.
4.
Inability to handle criticism.
The
lack of confidence a person with low self-esteem has
causes them to be unable
to accept or handle rejection or criticism.
When presented
with such a circumstance, a person with low
self-esteem often retreats or becomes depressed because of
a comment made by
someone else.
5.
Overly pessimistic and/or critical.
In
order to protect their own feelings, a person
with
low
self-esteem often takes
out their inner feelings on others. They
become extremely critical, especially of those closest
to them. They
are often pessimistic,
and can rarely see the positive in any
situation, let alone
hope for the best.
6.
Constantly worries about the future.
A
person with low self-esteem tends to
“predict” the future
by worrying constantly about things
that “might” happen. They find
it
difficult to
simply live in the moment and have
an intense fear
of
bad things to come.
Do
you or someone you know fit the bill.
End
the cycle.
Do
something about it.
