What can lower someone's self-esteem?
From experience I know that there is ALOT that lowers a person's self esteem. It can be silly little things like looking at yourself in a mirror and thinking you're 'ugly', or your 'fat'. To big things like someone telling you you're 'useless' and 'A waste of space'. The best thing for it is to ignore these things and be happy with the way you are.

Do people inherit low self esteem from their parent?
While genetics can play a role in certain personality traits, self-esteem is mainly shaped by a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors. Parental influence, such as modeling behavior and providing support, can impact a child's self-esteem but it is not solely inherited. Individuals can develop low self-esteem due to various life experiences and influences beyond just genetics.
I would normally tell you that you both need to see a psychiatrist, but I know your husband would refuse to go with you. To label him narcissistic is unfair. He could be just a pure creep! Until a professional labels him, then you can't base facts on what he is, but you can take the facts of the way he has treated you and leave. I know I make it sound easy when I tell you that you should leave him. I know it isn't easy because I left my first husband. Still, I would rather leave, take my chance out in the world on my own, than have my personality, dignity and self confidence stripped from me. We are in total control of what we wish to be as a human being and we can't blame someone else! Once I left my ex husband I found out what I was about and just how strong I really was. I did date, but no one seriously for at least a couple of years. I am much stronger now because I know I never needed a man in my life, so when I met and married my second husband I was most confident and he's a wonderful man even after 34 years of marriage. There are many wonderful programs out there for women that you can go to and Abused Women's Center or go to mental health and explain your circumstances and they will see you get the right programs. Little by little you will regain who you once were. Don't be so hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. If we don't know ourselves 100% we can't be expected to know another person 100%. Good luck hon Marcy

.
The confidence that you have in yourself. In other words, it's how good you feel about how you look or how you act and what sort of person you are.
It is the way a person views him or herself, and includes things like self esteem, self image, family roles, identity, values, religion, occupation, philosophy, goals, or whatever is important to the person in how he or she views him or herself.
The way you view yourself is your self-concept. Concept means idea so your self-concept is the idea that you have about yourself. The way you see yourself, of course, may be completely different to how others see you.
How much garlic would be a good dose for healing purposes?
I figure one to two cloves of fresh garlic per day is a good all purpose dose, and what I have been using. A one time(or occasional) clove is not going to do you much good, you will need to keep it in your system over a long period of time to for it to be beneficial. Fresh, right off the pod is the purest form, forget the processed pills. Try putting it in the blender with a cup of tomato juice, yummy.

Why are drugs damaging to a persons self esteem?
It can be damaging because, when taking drugs, you feel different then you do while sober. During that time, you feel better than normal (usually, at least), so, when off the drug(s), you don't feel as good. Then, you start to be dependent on the drugs and feel that it's the thing keeping you happy.
It can effect your self-esteem because it does affect the way you look, and you're more prone to worry about your image. You might be ashamed that you're taking drugs, so you try and hide it. Or, you think taking the drugs makes you seem cool, so you flaunt it; if you were the lose the drugs, it may make you feel like you have nothing and your friends might leave you.

Grow up and recognize that "stuff" doesn't define who you are. If "stuff" is so important to you, why not study hard in school, get good enough grades to be an Honors student, get a scholarship to college and make a TON of money so you can have all of the "stuff" that you obviously think is so important. * Not having all the "cool" (do they still use that word?) things that your peers have is difficult especially when they play such an important part in teenage society. Perhaps you could earn some money by doing errands for neighbors, mowing lawns or even babysitting. Then you could save your money and buy some of the things you are longing for and have the extra benefit of being proud of your resourcefulness, good work ethic and personal responsibility, all of which are a big part of "growing up". NOOOOO of course not, you are (i bet) a wonderful person even tho you dont have all the stuff that is in!!! You should not feel that not having certain things while affect your self esteem!! Look at me for example!! lol I am close to your age and i did not get a cell phone till my junior year!! I was fine with it!! Maybe find some ways to earn some extra buck, there are so many awesome jobs out there!!!
If you are gay is that normal or is it mentally sick?
- Being gay is perfectly normal. Some people think gay people are sick, but they're not -- they just have a different perspective of looking at some things. For example: I love pizza, you might hate it; we're both normal, aren't we?
- Up to 1973 the Diagnostics and Statistical Manual, the handbook of mental health professionals, listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. It was replaced by a different definition when the DSM-iii came into use, and then dropped altogether in 1987. So, to answer if it is "mentally sick," the answer, according to the American Psychological Association, is "no."
To answer if it is normal, of course, begs the question of "what is normal." According to Kinsey's studies, 10% of the subjects in his studies were more or less completely homosexual from their teens. One out of 10 certainly sounds "normal."
To be fair... "10% of the people in his study" is slightly deceiving since 100% of the people in the study WERE GAY. It is generally accepted about 1% of the population in the U.S. is gay. 1 out of 100, not 1 out of 10.
The Kinsey study of the sexual habits of the American male was done in the 1940's and involved interviews with several thousand men who were willing to talk to the interviewer. Kinsey reported that roughly 30% of the respondents had experienced homosexual intercourse to orgasm at least once in their lives. Current research suggests that somewhere between 2 and 4 per cent of males are primarily homosexual, and perhaps 10 per cent have had significant homosexual experience.
It is normal to be Gay, Hetero or Bi, anything else would be abnormal !
Due to something that's happened in their lives, people have homosexual attractions and that's not sick. If acted on or embraced, it's like any addiction. You should believe this if you're a Christian.
Technically being gay is unnatural due to mammals (and other animals) need a male and female to reproduce. Think about it is everyone was gay we would all die within a generation because no children would be produced. Being gay is also in your genetics one of the things about being gay is maybe the point is so that you don't reproduce but one of the only ways to do that would be that you are attracted to someone whom you cant reproduce with. So technically speaking being gay is wrong and unnatural, but some people don't think so. But just because being gay is wrong it doesn't mean that you should be discriminatory towards them. Closing comments, if mammals birds and fish, reptiles (well maybe some fish and reptiles do) could reproduce asexually being gay would be fine.
Why do Narcissists marry if they view everyone as inferior to them?
I wasn't even married to mine~ he would tell me I wasn't good enough to marry but when we were in public at an important social gathering, he would introduce me as his wife...twisted! The narcissist does not view marriage as a bond among equals - but as an arrangement of convenience. By getting married, the narcissist merely secures a good source of narcissistic supply for the long-term. They marry for permanent narcissistic supply . It inflates their ego to have a wife ( or husband ) to brag about , and at the same time, humiliate , in order to keep reinforcing how superior they are. Narcissists are alway concerened about their image. Being "married" looks alot better to the public (in his opinion) than "not being married." He also NEEDS a spouse to "take care" of him since he is pathologically immature and unable to care for himself. He USES his spouse but never truly LOVES her.
Why would a narcissist say they have no or low self esteem?
the general consensus amongst psychologists seems to be that the disorder is compensatory. while the narcissist may truly believe him/herself to be good-looking and intelligent, they clearly do not feel these attributes are enough to make them a truly superior being, hence the need they feel for the aggrandizing lies about themselves and reinforcing their superiority to others in each and every relationship and interaction in their (fantasy) lives, big or small.
my ex N would try to be falsely self depracating, but could never keep the act up for long. she was obviously hoping I would effusively contradict her seemingly modest statements, but it was a tactic i recognised so i rarely indulged her. i guess she just got tired of waiting for me to start gushing over her and her eventual statements in which her formidable ego reared its head once again, seemed to be a result of her internal voice protesting 'BUT I *AM* GORGEOUS/MENSA MATERIAL/A LOVELY PERSON!' a good example of this is when i told her she was pretty, and she said 'I'm not,' and then some thirty seconds later: 'my friends tell me i have a natural beauty.' her eventual conclusion would be either someone someone else (supposedly) said, or a half-hearted admission that she actually was quite something.
she also once claimed that she looked in the mirror and inspected herself as often as she did 'because i hate myself. most people do it 'cause they love themselves, but i do it cause i hate myself.' and i quite believed her: it probaly was due to some sort of insecurity that she felt the need to change her look all the time and reassure herself that she looked good.
AnswerWhen I first read the question I was confused. A pathological NNN admitting to low self esteem was an eye opener. Then I found out it came from the mouth of a 16 year old.Young people with such a diagnosis who can admit to having a problem can be salvaged. Teenagers are notorious for age appropriate N-ism. Usually diagnosis for N-ism is reserved for adults.
There is hope your daughter will be able to get on top of her personality problems and learn to manage them for her and everyone's benefit.
It is vitally important that all people involved with this girl's upbringing look hard at themselves as to their contribution to her personality. Almost always the carers are the parent(s).
AnswerA narcissist may say they have low self esteem, or, most likely, act like they have low self esteem, to control the feelings of others. The narcissist may be trying to manipulate more people into liking him/her. Answer:Narcissists invalidate those who care about them in order to camouflage their fragile psyches.Invalidating behavior can be mild, 'I like your hair the way you used to wear it," to malicious, having an affair and rationalizing it as ok, long as his wife doesn't find out--arrogantly bragging, "she never has before!"
Wherever he goes, others are appalled by his pernicious declarations.
Invalidation allows an imaginary wall to be erected between the narcissist's low opinion of himself and those who care deeply about the cancerous torment and pain of which he cannot rid himself. That wall eventually will come crashing down.
The question is will anyone be on the other side to rescue him and save him from himself? a shakesperean tragedy....
- A person of moderate self esteem can sometimes be easily persuaded because they are in the midst of learning lessons in life and depending on what they have learned they may be easily persuaded by another. The person with high esteem has been encouraged by others; perhaps given more breaks, but they can also think they are of high esteem when they are not and therefore they are quite confident in themselves by feeling they have full control of their lives. A person with low self esteem is generally very suspicious of people or other situations in life and may miss out on good friends or life in general, but generally never wants to risk getting hurt.
