1. Feeling Worthless

Low self-esteem psychology is so tricky, even if number of people love you, appreciate you, you will feel unworthy of it.

If somebody close to you has low self-esteem, remember, their feelings are never about you, but about themselves. So, help them overcome it by teaching them about self-love and positivity.

2. Hiding True-self

Hiding true-self is one of the low self-esteem symptoms.

We all are aware of our such behavior. We know at the back of our mind that this isn’t me when I do this. And the reason we do this is we constantly want to please people.

We feel inferior when our opinions and thoughts don’t match with that of others. We think we won’t get the same attention as we do now if we disagree to other’s views, and that makes us hide our true-selves

Here’s the list of hiding behaviors –

3. Attention Seeking

People will lower self-esteem are never happy with what they have. They keep on looking for others to notice them.

If they have supporting two friends and a charming partner, they wouldn’t feel enough. They would want more, and often feel lonely on getting nothing extra.

They are not bad people, they just do not feel deserving of what they have so, they try to become attractive, cool, funny by trying to get compliments, appreciations and validation.

4. Arrogance

Most of the time arrogant behavior is seen in men with low self-esteem, and most of the wives’ complaint that ‘my husbands low self-esteem is ruining our marriage’.

They would just put all of it on you to defend themselves, no matter who was right or wrong.

They can’t take negativity about themselves, so they raise their voice, use hands, get mad just to feel better.

In such cases, you can rather accept your mistakes then blaming others. Being true will actually allow you to be happier and will improve your relationships with others.
