Your Questions About What Causes Low Self Esteem





Ruth asks…




What causes low self-esteem and what causes high self-esteem?







J. Lynn answers:


Low self-esteem breeds in an unflattering environment. An example might be overly harsh and critical parents or guardians. It also results from unreasonable demands and expectations put in play by your parents…resulting in disappointments for you and, as a consequence, them.


We also tend to put ourselves down on our own when we fail to reach goals we set for ourselves. Usually this is a spin-off from similarly demanding ways we adopt from our parents. As we drift into adulthood, we preserve the style despite its injurious nature because it’s how we’ve been taught.


High self-esteem? I never heard of it. I’ve met people truly stuffed with themselves and on a sky-high ego trip but this is usually a cover-up for low self-esteem in disguise. People may confuse high levels of confidence with high self esteem but they’re hardly the same. Generally speaking, people with high levels of confidence are more adult and able to profit by remaining vulnerable in situation both good and bad. When we give in to baggage and find ourselves critical and unbending, we’re probably struggling with an awareness of not performing very well. This often leads to diminished performance in the job site or school studies, athletics, and love-making.








Jenny asks…




what causes low self esteem?


I’ve been having the most horribly low self-esteem lately, and I don’t know why..i feel lame. ><

what causes this?………how can I get over it?






J. Lynn answers:


It can be caused by what other people say to you or how they acted around you

If your feeling bad about your self (e.g. Getting bad marks at school,putting weigh on ect)

if you havent gotten enough sleep, exercise or have been eating alot of junk food because they make you feel bad about your self

Lots of different things cause it

just try and look on the bright side

instead of thinking what you havent got, think about what you have

dont let other people get you dont

normally their just jealous or bored when they say things

and they want to make you feel bad or get in a fight

eat healthier and exercise heaps, make sure your getting enough sleep








John asks…




what causes low self-esteem, insecurities, etc?


what is it that makes people have low self esteem?? and how come some of the most beautiful people have physical insecurities??






J. Lynn answers:


Beautiful people sometimes have physical insecurities because they see their beauty as a way of getting things, or being treated a certain way, and they are afraid of losing that


People get low self esteem when their social, mental (arguably spiritual) and/or physical health diminishes. An imbalance between the types of health impacts on the mental well-being of the individual. For example, if a person becomes obese, or socially outcasted, part of their needs are not being catered for, and they eventually blame themselves.


Good luck and have a nice day
