Good morning last we friday we had a successful session with a beautiful topic.
Low self-esteem refers to a negative perception of oneself, where a person feels unworthy, incapable, or inadequate. It affects how individuals think, feel, and behave, often leading to:
Signs of Low Self-Esteem:
Constant self-criticism
Difficulty accepting compliments
Feeling undeserving of love or success
Comparing oneself negatively to others
Avoiding challenges or opportunities due to fear of failure
Over-apologizing or people-pleasing
Common Causes:
Childhood criticism or neglect
Bullying or rejection
Trauma or abuse
Unrealistic societal or cultural standards
Academic or work-related failures
Effects of Low Self-Esteem:
Anxiety or depression
Relationship problems
Poor academic or job performance
Isolation or social withdrawal
Substance abuse (in some cases)
How to Improve Self-Esteem:
Practice self-compassion: Be kind to yourself, especially when you make mistakes.
Challenge negative thoughts: Replace “I can’t” with “I’m learning.”
Set realistic goals: Achieve small wins to build confidence.
Surround yourself with support: Be with people who uplift and respect you.
Seek professional help: Therapy or counseling can offer deep healing and support
