Having low self esteem can make you feel unworthy, unlovable or somehow just not good enough. It can be hard to go through the day with those feelings. Self-esteem is all about how you perceive your own abilities, qualities, and character, which in turn impacts your relationships, decision-making, and general approach to life.
Some common signs or symptoms of low self-esteem include:
- Lack of confidence
- External locus of control
- Negative social comparisons
- Trouble asking for help
- Worry and doubt
- Difficulty accepting compliments
- Negative self-talk
- Fear of failure
- Poor outlook of the future
- Lack of boundaries
- Being a people-pleaser
If self-worth issues are severe or persistent, discussing these issues and exploring the possibilities of using medication to manage the symptoms should be considered.
