Low Self-Esteem
Does you relate to these statements?
I judge myself harshly for how I look and act
I never feel that anything I do is ever “good enough”
I have a hard time being kind or forgiving towards myself
I beat myself up for not being productive
I feel worthless and like I don’t deserve good things
I find myself second-guessing the decisions I make
I doubt myself and my ability to be successful
I’m constantly comparing myself to others and feeling “less than” as a result
I don't believe people who give me compliments
I have a hard time telling people "no", and often find myself committed to things I don’t want to do as a result
I question the security of my relationships and wonder how long they’re going to last
I know it may seem impossible, but I can help you feel better about yourself.
