Do You Have Low Self-Esteem?

Is your self-esteem still loading?

You feel unworthy.

Low self-esteem can be devastating to an individual’s personal and professional life. The

constant feeling of inadequacy and unworthiness can undermine attempts to succeed at even the smallest things. If you find yourself plagued with such feelings, you may need to ask, “Do I have low self-esteem?” Self-esteem is your own view of yourself, your capabilities, and your attributes. It is impossible to succeed in life if you are constantly second guessing and berating yourself over the tiniest detail. Many individuals suffer from low self-esteem, so you are certainly not alone. Some individuals have recently begun to question their self-esteem while others have been doing so their entire lives. Whatever your situation, honestly answering these questions will give you a great deal of insight into how you view yourself. And doing so alone at times is even more challenging because we are our own worst critics.

You feel inadequate.

Are you nervous or awkward around other individuals? These people can be coworkers, friends, family members, or even strangers on the street. Do you ever look at anyone and think you are not on the same “level” as they are physically or mentally? Do you see yourself as the least important member of your family, group of friends, or office? Some terms you might use are “black sheep”, “failure”, or “fake”. All such terms are red flags of low self-esteem. These persistent feelings and dedicate thought patterns can erode self-esteem. Most likely, you are the only one who thinks these things. Ask your friends, coworkers, and family members about your performance, attitude, and personality. This takes courage and trust. Remember to rank your own needs up there with the needs of others. Quite often, individuals with low self-esteem strive to please everyone else to make themselves feel more adequate. This act usually backfires since your focus is on those surrounding you instead of yourself. Dig deep and figure out your own needs because YOU matter. Focusing on yourself for a while will allow you to identify root causes of your self-esteem issues so that you can begin conquering them.

You feel different.

Do you worry or obsess about your physical appearance? Are you constantly trying to change your appearance for what you think is the better? More importantly, why? These feelings of inadequacy are quite common, especially as we develop. Often, individuals notice certain qualities about themselves as children due to comments by a friend, family member, or school mate. These feelings harbor themselves inside, making them stronger and deeper-rooted. Some individuals obsess about their weight, height, statue, bone structure, facial features, hair, and other features. These issues can become the root of serious problems, including eating disorders. Even the most beautiful people in the world have some feelings of inadequacy about their outward appearance. The people society deems beautiful or perfect have secret issues about their own appearance or body, so you are not alone. Instead of constantly worrying about those aspects you deem as negative, focus on the positive. If you find yourself slipping into a dangerous or deadly habit, seek professional help as soon as possible. The world has learned to live with you, now you must make the decision to live with yourself. Once you are comfortable in your own skin, your self-confidence will soar sky-high.

You feel hopeless.

Your first step to increasing your self-esteem is to start today. Each day you delay is another day the past wins. However you choose to begin building your self-esteem, do so today! Be thorough and consistent with the process and be aware it may take a while. You should not become impatient or despondent if you find your self-esteem slipping. Choose to have grace with yourself. Remember, you are an important and worthy person and should treat yourself as such.
