Ask yourself if how you feel may be from the way you were treated by your parents and/or siblings. Don't assume everyone, including parents and siblings, are all smarter, nicer or more human than you. Most times, feeling bad about yourself is because you are more sensitive and compassionate than others. You don't want to hurt others, so you are easily hurt, too. The silver lining: the self image you have is wrong. Find out why it is like that (look to your biological family), then dump it and create a new, more factual one about you. You'll be happy after this.

How might career satisfaction impact self image?

Career satisfaction has a lot to do with self-image. When I graduated college and struggled for a while trying to find a job, it made me very depressed and made me question my self-worth countless times. I stopped talking to all my friends and avoided speaking with my family because I was so embarrassed to not have a job or a career. I felt talentless and a disappointing. If you are not satisfied with your work or your chosen profession, it can have a profound effect on you. Fortunately I am able to do something I love as my job, and this is very satisfying and purposeful. You feel better about yourself and like you are contributing to the great scheme of things, however little. You feel valuable, which effects how you see yourself greatly.
