Are you always feeling inferior, feeling bad about yourself and you think that everyone else is better than you are. Then, you are seriously suffering from low self-esteem or worth. Many people if you ask them suffers deeply from this act and they always feel bad about it.
Low self esteem is simply subjecting yourself and placing others above you without any tangible reasons. A person suffering from low self-esteem often lacks self confidence and this goes a long way in affecting a person's personality. Low self-esteem sometimes is often caused by parents and the environment. A child born into a family who are always toxic and are always negligent is likely to suffer from low self-esteem. Since he is not loved or catered for by his parents, he will come to the understanding that he is not meant to be loved, he envies other children who are loved by their parents. This eventually will lead to a personality disorder and low self worth when he grow up.
There are so many causes of low self-esteem. Some parents sometimes create an atmosphere of low self worth for their children on the basis of trying to make their children work hard more than their abilities. Some children are suffering from low self-esteem because their parents are not happy with them because of their low academic performance. A parent should be able to encourage not to criticize a child on the basis of his performance. Such criticism can leave a child dejected and loses his worth.
