Are you constantly battling thoughts like "I'm weak, I'm not good enough, inferior, worthless, unattractive, unlovable, a loser, or a failure?" If so, you're not alone.
Low self-esteem plagues many individuals and stems from our perceptions and self-assessments. When critical thoughts overshadow the positives, it's likely that low self-esteem is lurking. This mindset can lead to adverse outcomes, such as depression.
People with high self-esteem focus on growth and improvement, while those with low self-esteem fixate on avoiding mistakes (McLeod, S. A., 2012). Imagine hearing ten compliments and one criticism; those struggling with low self-esteem will obsess over that negative remark.
Breaking free from the cycle of low self-esteem means challenging deep-rooted, harmful beliefs about oneself. It's about learning to see non-critical comments for what they truly are rather than twisting them into self-doubt. Are you ready to embark on a journey towards a more confident and self-assured you?
