Self-Esteem and Self Confidence Problems

Everyone has an idea about the type of person they are and these thoughts are at the heart of self-esteem and they affect how you feel about and value yourself. Self-esteem isn't static and fixed; your internal belief can change throughout your life as a result of circumstance and experience.

If you have low esteem your beliefs will often be negative and you may focus on what you feel are your weaknesses, and mistakes that you have made.

You may have low self-esteem if you:

• Have feelings of inferiority and inadequacy – feeling 'not good enough'
• Feel like a fraud or phoney
• Experience a basic sense of unworthiness
• Feel unlikeable, unworthy and unwanted
• Feel very sensitive to any kind of criticism
• Constantly seek attention and fish for compliments

These are all symptoms of an underlying self-esteem problem.

Treatment for Low Self-Esteem

Various factors can contribute to low self-esteem, and they differ from person to person. Your self-esteem could shift suddenly, or you might have grappled with low self-worth for an extended period.

Numerous life circumstances can play a role in lowering self-esteem. These include:

• Enduring bullying or abuse
• Facing prejudice, discrimination, or stigma, including racism
• Losing employment or encountering challenges in job hunting
• Work-related or academic difficulties
• Dealing with physical health issues
• Coping with mental health conditions
• Experiencing relationship strains, separation, or divorce
• Financial or housing struggles
• Concerns regarding appearance and body image
• Feeling pressured to meet unattainable standards, often amplified by social media

You may have encountered some of these challenges or others not mentioned here, or there may not be a single identifiable cause.
