Low Self-esteem
Underneath it all, you just feel a deep sense of insecurity and self-doubt:
- You self-doubt and second-guess everything you say and do
- You constantly compare yourself to others and feel like you fall short
- You have chronic feelings that you’re not good enough, or alternatively that you’re “too much”
- You find yourself people-pleasing all the time, hoping that just maybe that way others will like you enough
- You’re too afraid to speak up about your feelings or express your needs, scared that it will push others away or make them not like you
- You keep replaying things you said or did and feeling like it came across as stupid or embarrassing
- Your mind is a constant reel of negative self-talk, self-criticism, and being very harsh on yourselfÂ
- You often feel guilty, like you’ve disappointed others, let them down, or like you’re somehow a bad friend or a bad person
- You seek excessive reassurance or validation from others because you don’t trust your own abilities, views, opinions, choices, decisions, or feelings
- You neglect your own needs and instead always yield to whatever others think or want
- You feel like an impostor, have Impostor Syndrome, or feel like you’re inadequate or failing
- You worry that having confidence will make you seem arrogant
Therapy can help you to:
- Develop a more positive self-image and self-concept
- Cultivate self-compassion and kindness towards yourself
- Build confidence in your strengths, abilities, and your value as an individual
- Overcome the self-doubt and negative self-talk that undermine your confidence
- Recognize your strengths, accomplishments, and unique qualities and embrace them with pride
- Be able to assert your needs and preferences
- Establish healthy boundaries in relationships with others
- Believe in your worth and potential
- Pursue personal, professional, and life goals without being held back by feelings of inadequacy
