The 6 Subtle Signs You're a High Achiever With Low Self Worth

Are you someone who achieves a lot but still feels like you're not good enough? In this video, Dr. Alice Boyes talks about signs that show high achievers might struggle with their self-worth. Understanding how you see yourself and valuing who you are as a person is important for your personal growth and happiness.

Dr. Boyes shares six subtle signs that might indicate low self-worth. Check if any of these signs relate to you:

Feeling like you don't deserve help: Even though it would be helpful, high achievers often think they should handle everything on their own. Think about situations where you hesitate to ask for support, like going to the doctor or taking care of your home, and learn to accept help when you need it.

Having unrealistic expectations of yourself: Do you expect to be perfect without practice or experience? High achievers often set impossibly high standards for themselves in different areas. Find ways to be kind to yourself when facing new challenges instead of expecting instant perfection.

Taking blame for others' mistakes: Instead of thinking that someone else made a mistake, high achievers tend to blame themselves. Dr. Boyes explains how you might unfairly think that errors made by others are your fault, whether it's a misdiagnosis or ineffective teaching.

Focusing on what you haven't achieved: Social media makes it easy to compare yourself to others and think about what you haven't done. Change your perspective and start appreciating the things you have accomplished and the choices you've made. Remember, you can only work on a few goals at a time.

Feeling embarrassed for no reason: Think about situations where you feel embarrassed or ashamed, even though there's no real reason for it. Learn how societal pressures and your own thoughts can make you feel embarrassed when there's no need to be.

Understanding that your worth isn't just about achievements: Many high achievers tie their self-worth to what they accomplish. Dr. Boyes challenges this idea and asks you to consider that your value as a person goes beyond your achievements. This can help you let go of the pressure to constantly prove yourself.
