Why do I still have low self-esteem althoguh I am trying to improve it?
May you have already noticed that you have low self-esteem and may be you have tried to improve it yourself but you feel that you are not getting anywhere.
One mistake we often do without realizing it is what i have mentioned earlier, we try to ”think” positive about ourselves but we ”do” the opposite.
Check if you do some of the following mistakes:
1. I avoid activities because I fear that other people will think something negative about me.
2. I seldom talk about myself because I fear that others will find me boring, stupid or insecure.
3. I don´t take initiatives to approach others out of fear they will reject me.
4. I always aggree to other peoples´opinions because I want them to like me.
5. I always let others decide what se should do because I want them to like me.
6. I sometimes take the relationships i have for granted since I have them and I adapt to people whom I think are better som I have no energy left for people who I know like me.
7. I do favors for others and I don´t ask for things in return since I want others to like me. (Read more in Boosting self-esteem for dummies by Rhena Branch and Rob Wilson).
