Low self-esteem occurs when we have a poor self-image of ourselves.  We look at ourselves in the mirror and have nothing positive to say.  This is a vicious cycle because what feeds your low self-esteem is the negative things you say to yourself, and the lower your self-esteem goes, the more negative things you will have to say about yourself.

5 sure signs you have low self-esteem are

�

1)      You think negative things about yourself often and think more about the things you can’t do and wish you could do than the talents and skills you already have. If you can’t say one positive thing about yourself then it is a sure sign.

2)      You’re in denial.  No matter how many times someone may compliment you, you always think he or she are lying or just plain delusional.

3)      You stop taking care of yourself.  You see no reason to dress nicely and have given up on trying to look attractive.

4)      You get very upset if you make a mistake or look foolish in front of other people.

5)      You always try to predict things that will happen but will often do this in a negative manner.  You believe nothing good can happen to you.  All you get or in some cases, deserve are bad things.

If this sounds like you, then its important to understand that there is something driving you to have low self-esteem such as a family member, co-worker, peer or your partner constantly putting you down and making you feel like less of a person or maybe you are stuck at a job that is below your potential.   It is up to you to investigate your life and pinpoint where it stems from.

It is also important to understand that low self-esteem can lead to depression, obesity, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, eating disorders and more if not changed for the better.
