As a counselor for several years, I have, unfortunately, noticed that people with low self-esteem problems often do "settle for anything." But, it is usually due to a first encounter where that person is emotionally abused (or worse) and continues the relationship long enough to wear down their confidence over time. On the other hand, I have noticed that people with low self-esteem (due to childhood issues) often choose to be alone, and become stronger and more content over time. No one should feel that they are made "whole" by a mate or companion, and it is these people (who remain alone) that prove it to others.

What can low self esteem cause?

one of the main causes of low self esteem is bullying. a person who is bullied by their peers will eventually believe what they hear-they are ugly, worthless etc, causing a sevre drop in self confidence. another cause is an unstable family life. a child who does not have loving parents will often have low self esteem. children need to feel loved, and feel praise, so they know they have done well. if a child does not receive praise they will feel like a failure, which again causes low self esteem.


How do you stay self confident but not be cocky?

If you have no self confidence then you just need to get some. you can do this by taking care of yourself and staying healthy. excecise everyday. eat healthy. maybe you can improve the way you dress and get a really cool haircut that really makes you look good. but if you get the wrong haircut that will cause more problems. also make plans with your friends. if you don't have friends go out and find some potentoial buddies. but don't settle for anything less than what you deserve and don't look in the wrong crowd. if you are around people that you know like to be around you then you build confidence. TRUST ME I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM!


What should you do if you have a stupid little brother and you hate him but you can't be mean to him '' cause he is stupid''?

It's important to treat all family members with respect, even if you have differences. Instead of focusing on hate, try to find ways to communicate and build a better relationship with your brother. Focus on understanding and tolerance, and seek help if needed.


Why do people continue doing things that are bad for them?

People have bad habits because sometimes it is just easier to do things the lazy way instead of the right way. They may also develop bad habits due to not knowing how to do something right or because they prefer to do something the wrong way.
