Low self-esteem affects not only your mood. It makes relationships unbearable, spoils careers, relationships with others suffer, finances either stand still or slip through your fingers. How does low self-esteem manifest itself?☑️ Inability to say “no” A person is afraid to refuse and goes against his will and desires. For example, a friend asks to wear something, but you don’t want to give it away. In the case of normal self-esteem, a person will say “no”. When self-esteem is low, a person is afraid to say “no” because a friend might be offended.☑️ Sacrifice and self-doubt A person is not sure that he will have something better in his life. He has a fear of life. The world seems dangerous. For example, a girl believes that she can only go into business when she has a man.☑️ Sensitivity that brings suffering A person is afraid of criticism. He is very hurt by any comment. For example, someone evaluates his work: “I would add this to this.” He does not separate himself and his work. It seems to him that if the project fails, then he (the person) is bad, not the project.☑️ Dissatisfaction with his appearance A small pimple makes you sit at home. And a wonderful manicure could be better. All the shortcomings are exaggerated, and all the advantages are leveled out.☑️ Inability to accept praise Praise confuses such a person. He begins to mumble something, make excuses, instead of simply saying: “Thank you!” Compliments are not perceived or are perceived with the thought: “They are lying to me.”☑️ Environment A person chooses to communicate with someone who has even lower self-esteem - it’s safer. .☑️ Love for the comfort zone Such love limits development. A person stops improving himself. It’s safer for him to do nothing, because there is a fear that it will hurt if it doesn’t work out. If you don’t do anything, then it won’t work out 100%. If you do, then there’s a chance that it will work out.☑️ Arrogance Very often, low self-esteem is hidden behind arrogance. This doesn’t mean that you need to fawn on everyone, but considering everyone around you to be servants is not comme il faut .Awareness helps to raise self-esteem. There is always time to change your life for the better, to love yourself and accept yourself. With respect and gratitude for your attention, your psychologist Yulia Zhukova. © Zhukova Yu.
