Low Self Esteem

BLAMING OTHERS
Misfortune is always everybody else's fault.

DENIAL
Insisting that anything bad, or wrong was not true.

UNABLE TO EXPRESS FEELINGS
Being confused about feelings, and being afraid to express them.

DEPENDING ON OTHERS FOR SELF ACCEPTANCE
If you like me, I am ok. If you accept me, I will accept myself.

LACK OF PERSONAL BOUNDARIES
Not knowing how to draw a line between your own problems and other’s problems.

 

Low self-esteem affects every aspect of your life.

You have developed an opinion of yourself over a period of time. This opinion includes how much you feel valued and loved by others, and how much you value and love yourself.

Your opinion of yourself may vary from one day to the next, but if you find you are in the habit of dwelling on short-comings, and think you are worth less than other people, you are suffering from low self-esteem.

 

  • Negative self-talk. You may constantly put yourself down and say things about yourself that you would never say about someone else.
  • Frequently apologizing. You may take the blame for things that are not your fault.
  • Focusing on your flaws. You see every little imperfection in yourself, and forget to notice what is good.
  • Reject positive comments. If someone pays you a compliment, you respond with a negative statement such as, “No, I haven’t really lost that much weight.” Or “This old thing? I’ve had it forever.”
  • Avoiding risk. You cling to what is familiar and are afraid to try new things. You talk yourself out of doing things that might raise your self-respect, such as returning to school or changing jobs.
  • Avoiding eye contact. You have a hard time looking other people in the eye.
  • Constantly seeking approval from others. You don’t feel satisfied until you know you have gotten approval or reassurance from other people. You are constantly asking others if they are mad at you or if they love you.
  • Pessimism. You expect bad things to happen to you. You don’t notice the good things that happen to you on a daily basis.

If you decide that you deserve better. You deserve to be happy. You deserve respect from yourself and other people.

If these are true for you, then its time to make a change in your negative self talk, and your internal image of yourself.
