yeah. this small snippet describes my parents. I was never physically abused. but I was never praised for the achievements I did get and for any trivial "wrongdoing" is was essentially put "in jail". put on exceedingly long groundings (one time for a whole summer with no privileges) and hours-long lectures.
I was a growing teenager and I was lectured and grounded for "eating too much food". We were not poor, but my mom would basically manufacture scarcity and punish me (not my younger brother) for eating as a growing teenager would. At 50, I am still learning to think better of myself. And in a leadership position at work, I feel like an imposter.

So happy that attachment theory is being more talked about! 💪🏾

I cannot afford mental health care no matter much I try (for now), so free info helps SO MUCH until I can afford to see a mental health specialist! 😭

Thank you, Thank You, and THANK YOU DOCTOR! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Recovering people pleaser here. I'm so proud of how far I've come. I recognised a lot of how I used to be in this video. Any one else resonate be patient with yourself get help and do the work. Practicing assertiveness little by little can help you to raise your self esteem it won't be plain sailing but you will feel better advocating for yourself and you deserve that for yourself ❤

My husband and I are in our mid 60s and that pretty much sums up how our parents were! Throw a couple other traumatic things in life, and there it is - low self esteem.

[Wakeupgrandowl]

I have low self esteem. But I had a loving and supportive mother and god family that I spent lots of time with. Great extended family in the form of aunts and uncles. My dad was a little absent sometimes but was loving and warm when he was. He clearly favoured my older brother to an incredible degree… (above everyone!) but I just don’t know why I am so, so depressive, with low esteem. I had some pretty bad friend/ school experiences while young. Late Elementary (grades 5 and 6) and middle school were rough. I found my tribe in high-school but it’s like the low self-esteem and depression couldn’t be conquered. Diagnosed with adhd last year… I wonder if my life would have been different had I known back then.

Coming up, whenever I expressed my feelings, it was always used against me. For instance, my mother would volunteer me to babysits ppl's kids and told the parents they didn't have to pay. I didn't want to babysit these ppl's kids. After suffering in silence, I told my mother how I felt. I was called selfish and shamed, and I was forced to continue to babysit for free. This happened with all different types of things. The message I got coming up is my needs, wants and desires makes me a selfish person. And I have to put others before myself. So, I've been a people pleaser for a long time. I remember even struggling to tell my mother I was touched. Because I didn't want the guy who touched me to be upset with me or to get in trouble. Talking about warping a mind.

For me there is also this feeling that I give myself space for mistakes like I preach to myself when I feel happy, it will crumble and I'm just an idiot

[fudgedeath]

Growing up, I remember my mother always apologizing to people when I did something dumb or weird and it made me feel ashamed of myself. I was just a young child, its normal for them to do silly things.

As someone who has woken up today and yesterday at 3:30am to a baby that won’t fall back asleep, I want to give a shout out to the parents in the stock footage with the hyper kid who aren’t warm. lol

Is it possible to have low self-esteem but also know you're very intelligent and otherwise think you have good qualities? It's like I yo-yo between underconfidence and overconfidence

[TriviaMania_]

biggest sign that you have low self-esteem is that this video appears on your feed 😅

I was neglected by my fsther as a boy. I struggled with low self esteem as a child, teen, and majority of my 20s. I was abundant by my father at 6 after a year or so of visitations in the post-divorce era of mothrr and fsther which were married than common-laws when I was born in the mid-nkneties. I would best myself up mentally and physically, I was too Un confident to speak and afraid of my own voice, I was scared of Conversstions and initiating them, my brain is scripted at times, hated myself, was a perfectionist(still am but not as big as one), I used to please people that gave me negative feedback, I had a difficult time accepting compliments, feels of abandonment by friends and lack of purpose made me want to kill myself, COVID brought back those feelings of abandonment and depression(2020-23), I fear of grandma one of lights dying and myself dying alone, and I get sad when my needs aren’t meet or the weather(last two days it’s been the crappy summer weather where I live).

I was raised a Jehovah's Witness. Shaming and guilting is and was part of the culture. Many former members & current ones suffer from complex post traumatic stress syndrome. The Jehovah's Witness DOOMSDAY CULT is very dangerous and harmful. The leadership encourages hate and division among families and friends within the organization and outside the organization. Especially if you are an individual who wants to leave and no longer believes in the doctrines, rules, and policies. The leadership says they will NEVER APOLOGIZE. EVEN IF THEY MAKE MISTAKES within their culture on doctrinal issues or their harsh rules and policies. BEWARE !!!❤

[kristijan]

I don't know if this a thing but for me I think the self esteem issues stem from adolescence. I could never make friends or get a girlfriend, literally everyone avoided me or talked badly about me. Even to this day I still don't have any friends, never had a girlfriend. No one wants to hang out with me, everyone ignores me.

My biggest issue is my body and my penis….

I have a small penis due to having 48, XXYY syndrome results from the presence of an extra copy of both sex chromosomes in each of a male's cells (48, XXYY). Extra copies of genes on the X chromosome interfere with male sexual development, preventing the testes from functioning normally and reducing the levels of testosterone.

This is why I never been in a relationship with a woman. Because of my condition I will never be able to have a normal relationship or father a child. In this society I can never be able to be happy with myself. I have tried many times to end my life, but each time I failed as I am afraid.

What about people with dysthymia ? are they don't born with this ? but does it matters if they don't realise this even for whole life ?
