Question
What are the conditions that lead to low self esteem? Give examples.
Solution
Self esteem refers to an individual's sense of self worth and personal values. Our overall evaluation of our worth as persons, high or low, based on all our positive and negative self perceptions is referred to as 'self esteem'.
The conditions that lead to low self esteem are negative thoughts, high anxiety leading to self blame, poor performance, and even failure. Those with low self esteem lack confidence, initiative, feeling of worth and self respect. They are unable to show assertiveness or to express themselves appropriately.
