It turns out that sometimes we ourselves are to blame for the problem of low self-esteem - or rather, our actions.

Which ones exactly – we told in this article. All you have to do is get acquainted with them and “work on the mistakes”.

To justify oneself

If making excuses to everyone for anything has become the norm for you, be prepared for your self-esteem to start to decline, because in this way you devalue your actions and put yourself in the position of a loser - even if you have not done anything shameful.

Agree

Conflict situations are not a reason to sacrifice your needs and ignore your own opinion. In addition to the fact that by agreeing with everyone on any issue, you lower your self-esteem, thereby demonstrating ineptitude, passivity and lack of persistence.

Be prepared to find yourself in a disadvantageous position, which others will certainly begin to use for their own benefit. Do you want to become a tool in someone's hands?

Prove

We have figured out that you shouldn't always agree with everything. But you shouldn't go to extremes and always prove that you are right. Often, in an attempt to prove that others are wrong, you can do thoughtless and risky things.

Dependent on other people's approval

Remember, you must always remain your own biggest critic and role model. When you start trying to live up to other people's demands and ideals, you will eventually lose self-respect and, with it, self-esteem.

Not keeping promises

Let's be clear: we're talking about promises made to yourself. If you promised to eat right or read one book a week, but didn't keep your word, a "breakdown" can lead you to think that you can't handle even such small tasks, which means you have no reason to respect yourself.

Earlier we talked about a simple psychological trick that helps you become happy.
