"You just have to love yourself."
How many times have you heard this as the key to a good life?
If only it were that easy.
Self-esteem affects your overall sense of self. When it suffers, it wreaks havoc on your mental health and relationships. Low self-esteem might show up in your life in these ways:
Find yourself always apologizing
You "people please" to keep other people happy, which comes at the expense of not honoring your own wants and needs.
You feel like you are just lucky, vs deserving of good things.
It’s so hard to express and advocate for your needs. You fear your needs or wants are too much.
You may put up with relationships that aren’t healthy, because if you just tried harder, it would be better.
You feel like one day everyone will see you how you see yourself and that won’t be good enough.
You find it hard to think about the positive qualities you have or accept recognition from others.
Constantly doubting yourself or feeling inadequate.
You think about what “could have been” if you had more self confidence.
You find yourself holding back from new relationships or opportunities.
Feel undeserving of others acts of care or kindness. .
If this sounds like you, therapy may help.
