People don't become jealous because you showed a talent.
They ARE jealous and get triggered by your brightness.

[NicMercy]

Another "benefit" of believing in low self-worth is that you expect less of yourself and in turn others expect less from you. That can be beneficial in the sense that if the world feels overwhelming to you, it can alleviate some of the pressures life/people foist upon us. It doesn't allow you to grow though. It's a retreat. A shelter. But it shouldn't become a permanent home.

I asked a friend why he always half jokingly ran himself down. He's handsome, friendly and good at what he does. He said he hadn't really thought about it but that he reckoned maybe he didn't want people to think him too cocky. I respect that. It's a part of our culture too. But I said he didn't need to do that when it was just us. That seemed to choke him up a little and we became closer friends. Now I realise I need to do that for myself

[australiangirl]

That's how I survived my Childhood & lessened the abuse I experienced.

If I made myself very small I got Targeted much less & I even got more friendly expressions/body language that wasn't threatening me anymore.

My mom was super jealous and competitive with me and that made it feel safer to dim my light.

[tracyannaleclair]

I believe this. I live this. By flying under the radar, not being competitive with my career and personal life I avoid rejection ridicule and failing, looking foolish, being humiliated. It is the fear of man that I must be struggling with, it's all about protecting myself from feeling those negative hurtful feelings I experienced growing up and in my young adult life.


It feels much safer for me to be unseen. I think we reject ourselves to "beat them to the punch'. Not opening ourselves up to more pain, expect less of others and think less of yourself is definitely a defense mechanism.

[KanohiVahi]

Damn, there's so much wisdom here! What I am getting from this is: dare to be vulnerable and ask yourself "what are you protecting?"

[kripanv]

This is so true. We are gonna loss so many of our dear ones if we start to value ourself.

My older sister was jealous of me for being naturally thinner, and she thought our mother loved me more. I didn’t know this back then. All I knew was that my sister hated me and loved getting me into trouble, making fun of me, and sabotaging my relationships. My parents passively condoned her behaviors by not paying attention to them and by trying to assuage her insecurities by favoring her. It created a disaster for me back then because I grew to believe in my utter worthlessness. It’s taken me until my late 40s to reclaim my self worth BUT I DID IT AND YOU CAN TOO 😃😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🤗👩‍💼🥰. I finally feel equal to the rest of humanity and find that because of overcoming a lot of this trauma, I am able to spot it and will be helping others understand this stuff through my writings and coaching. Hugs. Keep healing. It’s so worth it! Let the limiting crust of victimhood crack and fall away like a dead layer of snakeskin as you grow into your natural beauty. That old crust can’t contain the big, bright wonderful you!!!

What the man said happened to me. I was a success. Had the house with the ocean view and everything. I did not keep my light under a basket. I built the house myself.
My girlfriend viciously undermined me. My family went out of their way to destroy everything and kick me when I was down.
I have spent years in emotional pain. I have no family anymore.
I have seen demons.

[aphilzitrone]

I started my own business and hardly any of my family members or friends were behind it. It hits different, when you have to be your own biggest support and you start seeing how your closest stop texting you or become flaky spending time together

[meMYSELFnU]

Oh, there's more to it. If I tell myself I'm already good enough, I'm gonna get lazy and stop trying to better myself, ever. If I tell myself I'm good enough, it would hurt more when others try to bring me down. That's just from the top of my head.

[KaSiaMaG]

EXACTLY! Especially in relationship with narcisistic mother who made you compleetely dependant from her emotional states.
Its better to be "incapable" of anything wirh her because then sge feels unthretend. But if you present a value of self she automatically shuts you down to hold her status quo. She don't like that you could develop, because her "value" is in "denger" .
Its such a tragic life story.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT IT! I WISH THIS WILL BE DISCLOSED . WE NEED TO BECOME CONSCIOUS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND REALIZE SOLUTIONS.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL CHILDREN (OR NOW GROWN PEOPLE) WHO DEAL WITH DEVOURING MOMS.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love how she just instinctively knew and challenged him. ❤️

[LPRN]

I was taught i was being conceited or too cocky, so I lower myself to avoid confrontation with people.

[annikabirgittanordlander]

There are consequences for choosing exploring the illusion of separation. There are consequences for choosing to awaken from the illusion of separation and to awaken to Oneness, Wholeness, Unity. There are consequences for choosing exploring that which is beyond Oneness. Whatever we are choosing exploring, there will be consequences and everyone is not going to like what we are choosing exploring. Thank you Teal for talking about this. Love and compassion to all non-physical beings exploring themselves in the physical, challenging.

[macdevasmith]

I never heard this explanation before. But it makes sense and I will explore further and go deeper into the awful feeling of low self esteem which actually is a kind of self torture as I experience it in myself.

[Gomba]

I keep seeing this on the part of people who are protecting the abusive parent. It’s easy for me to spot because I used to do this too. Behind every person who ever tried to maintain a negative image of themselves, there is an abusive parent, even though many tend to displace the source of that motivation on more recent abusive interactions—which would not have happened to them had they not already had that negative self-image because of the abusive parent.

[MissiJade]

I 💯 agree and self sabotage is a good thing when you are afraid of being vulnerable because you were so hurt and abandoned at a young age so it feels familiar and safe. Well said

[theesteward]

I also believed that I didn't have value. For me it means that I can keep people at a safe distance and protect myself from risking my heart by getting close to them and then having them leave. It felt better if I didn't try at all than to embrace the feeling of failure. I didn't want to need anyone, I still don't want to need people, I think that concept is terrrifying. I want love though... The only way to love is to claim and move into a sense of self worth and genuinely create value to a level that I'm satisfied with and follow my independed passions that keep me fufilled. Then I can practice love with others from a secure place. It will take a while, when the time comes, I'd love it if the people who are a match for me can manifest themselves, ofc that means doing the effort of looking for those people/attracting them
