Disrespect: Do you disrespect yourself? You will have to learn to respect yourself before you can expect anyone else to. You actually teach people how to you want to be treated by the current actions you accept. If you don’t respect yourself, then they will continue this treatment, thus adding to the effects of low self esteem. Lack of Confidence: If you are afraid to stand up for yourself or your beliefs, this will trickle in to the areas mentioned. Your work and personal relationship will suffer due to this lack. Fear of change: Well, fear of anything really. When you have negative thoughts running through your mind, as is common with people that struggle with low self esteem, it creates an atmosphere of fear. Fear of change, fear of failure….each of these will hinder your personal and work relationships and hinder success. |
