Low Self-Esteem

A shaky self-confidence or relentless self-doubt stops so many people from pursuing their passions. A fear of failure gnaws at them, leaving them at a standstill and unsatisfied with their lives.

Low self-esteem can make you sabotage relationships that have potentials, or settle for relationships which you’re treated in a way that matches your beliefs about yourself.

Despite circumstances that could contribute to low self-esteem, some people are just built to be resilient. They’re born that way or work really hard to acquire the ability, despite
negative experiences.

With low self-esteem, it can seem as if nothing comes easily or naturally to you. Instead, because you don’t see yourself as naturally lovable, you feel like you have to fight and claw and strive for friendship.

It’s as if unless you go nine million extra miles for something, you’re not going to get it. Unfortunately, this can make you obsessed, consumed and infatuated with your object of affection in a way that ruins the ability to have a viable trajectory.

Self-knowledge can help you steer away from some of these patterns of low self-esteem in relationships toward understanding, accepting and integrating your emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.

Analysing how your actions have been impacted by your history can help you create an authentic connection in the here and now.
