People with low self-esteem rarely lead fulfilling lives.
They often distance themselves from others. In this way, they refuse the love and support of others. People with low self-esteem and self-confidence are rarely able to make the most of their abilities. Instead, they revel in the injustices of life and reflect. Low self-esteem is a loss to the person himself, his family and society.
People with low self-esteem don’t really see success and have a hard time coping.
This is reflected in statements such as: “Oh, anyone can do that” or “There was nothing wrong”. In this way, they weaken their performance, which is usually very good. They tend to think that they don’t deserve success. They also have no idea how to enjoy success. And when something goes wrong, they blame themselves. With masochistic traits, they explain to the world that they knew things were going to go badly. These are all important symptoms of low self-esteem and should be treated as soon as possible.
People with low self-esteem also have a terrible habit of breaking down. They keep telling themselves that they are not good enough and that what they are doing can fail. Over time, this negative talk or negative self-image turns into beliefs. In fact, they are trying to plant these seeds of negativity in the people around them. Very often, such people then unknowingly try to infect others with this negative seed. In addition, they tend to people suffering from similar problems. The end result is that they burden each other even more and end up being much poorer individuals than they were to begin with.
High levels of dissatisfaction are another indicator of low self-esteem.
There are people who spend all their time complaining. They no longer see the positive aspects in others or in themselves. This cynicism destroys their self-confidence and undermines their self-confidence. Fear of tomorrow.
Also, people with low self-esteem spend most of their time worrying about the past and looking forward to the future. They hardly notice normal life in the present. As a result, they don’t enjoy the present, even if you are successful. In other words, they prevent you from enjoying life and being happy. It’s a kind of self-destruction. Eventually, this becomes a self-perpetuating vicious cycle that prevents people with low self-esteem from breaking out of this negative spiral.
These people are rarely relaxed and calm.
They are often looking for new jobs and types of work. Lack of self-confidence is also the reason why they keep looking for another job. They absorb the crises of others and blame fate for their unhappy lives. To get at least temporarily “high,” some people turn to alcohol or drugs, overeat, or seek quick sex. However, this rarely helps them in the long run. It’s a short-term sensation and they usually feel worse afterwards than before. So they feel guilty and feel that they have failed in their responsibilities. They are unable to achieve a lasting sense of happiness and satisfaction.
People with low self-esteem also have problems being around other people.
They are reluctant to enter into intimate relationships and take precautions by erecting barriers to others who might get too close. They do not like to open up to others and reveal their innermost thoughts. They prefer to stick to old bad experiences. For example, the experiences of someone who hurt them deeply or walked away when they were at their most vulnerable. Of course, with such self-denial, they do more harm to themselves. They do not benefit from the company of others and prefer to keep you trapped in their negative world. Eventually, they may reach a stage where it becomes very dangerous for them.
People with low self-esteem need help. Once the above symptoms are recognized, measures should be taken to improve them. After all, what is downplayed as a “bad mood” can quickly turn into impending depression. And in principle, everyone in the area can help. Family and friends, maybe even teachers. But if the behavior does not change, you should contact an experienced psychologist.
