Self-Esteem

at school, if students are encouraged and praised by their works, their self-esteem may increase.

if they are being abused by their parents, friends, or other people, they may lose self-esteem.

too much peer pressure may also affect self esteem.

Another answer:

Each society has its own standards for what individuals should be, should strive for, should accomplish, should feel...etc. There are societal "norms" for just about every human characteristic. As children growing up, we are introduced to these expectations through our parents, friends, siblings, television, teachers, the list goes on and on. Even how we see strangers living can influence our opinion of what we should measure up to. Some of these we are not even aware of. For instance, if you are a female, you may have been brought up to believe that to be a "real" woman you should be docile, forgiving, submissive, quiet and pretty. This indoctrination can begin to occur at a VERY early age. A 3 year old girl may be allowed to cry, while a 3 year old boy may be told to "toughen up and bear it." If your natural tendencies go against what society has taught you to be, then it can affect your self esteem greatly. So if you believe that success means having a house with x amount of rooms and bathrooms and a car that costs x amount of dollars, and that you should have these things by x number of years, and you don't, then your self esteem takes a blow. The best way to be is to realize that you have the power to form your own ideas and opinions about what is beautiful, successful, etc. Set your own "best". Reject those societal ideas that don't fit you as an individual. It's a hard task to do, but the more you learn to appreciate your intrinsic value as an individual, the easier your self esteem will rise.

I am someone who has had difficulties with depression intermittently for thirty years. It is a medical problem and usually requires the help of a medical professional, a therapist, etc. I understand your reluctance to talk with parents ... is there a school counselor or another trusted adult that could guide you through this initial difficulty?

It is probably a lonesome time but times can get better. Hopefuly you will pursue getting help . This is not your fault .. You did nothing wrong ...But please do speak with someone. I wish yu well ... David

Sociologists now reject the idea that minorities have a particular personality trait, low self-esteem, or high self-esteem as a group. Instead, they emphasize the importance of understanding each individual within their unique cultural and social context to avoid stereotypes and generalizations based on ethnicity or race.

Low self-control refers to a lack of discipline, ability to resist immediate temptations, and maintain self-regulation. Individuals with low self-control may struggle to make long-term decisions, often opting for immediate gratification over higher goals or values. This can lead to impulsive behavior and difficulty in achieving long-term success.

I don't know but nearly everything I say is a lie. I just need to have big things going on in my life. I need to be accepted. I am narcisstic.

they make you ugly

Schools prefer that you hand the child off to the teacher as quickly as possible. Most of the time the parent isn't out the door before the child has been distracted and is ready to start their big adventure. Some children start crying over separating, when they pick up on stress from their parent. The child who had been fine and excited over going to school feels anxiety in the parent and suddenly they no longer feel like school is a happy, safe place to be.

If you have a child with separation anxiety, explain to the child before you get to the school what to expect. Tell them what time you will be back to pick them up, once at the school give a quick hug and kiss, then smile and leave. If you feel confident that your child is going to have a good day, they will feel your confidence in them.

You have an upper-average intellect and are capable of higher learning, such as going to college and taking college level courses. But then you can do that with an IQ of 100 or so as well. IQ's are overrated (just my opinion) But if you ask someone who does IQ testing for a living they will tell you that 122 is a very good IQ. It doesn't mean you already know a lot, it means you are capable of learning a lot.

Forward where? Out of your husband's life by divorcing him, or trying to fight the war with your husband's mistress? All you need to know is the true facts that he's actually having an affair and if you've caught him then you have to decide if you love him enough to sit down like two adults and communicate both your feelings and why your marriage has been reduced to his cheating. If you aren't happy with his excuses then you need to stand on your own two feet (you are in control of YOU) and at least get a separation before divorce. Separations are often a good idea if the couple is having marriage problems, one of the mates has made a mistake, or there are children involved. Separation lets each partner have head space to rethink their actions and often one or both of partners realize how much they miss each other once the chips are laid on the table. Making decisions while angry seldom works out and it can cause a lot of regrets in the future. If you don't know for sure he is cheating then get a girlfriend and follow him one night. That's how I caught my first husband cheating. The rest is up to you. There is no need to know all the particulars of the woman he is seeing and instead of being angry at her, be angry at your husband!

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.

I can tell you from my own experience of being in an abusive relationship (being the abused), that the person who is in the relationship cannot see. I knew something wasn't "right" about the relationship, and I was told time and time again by my abusive boyfriend that if I changed things would get better. But they didn't. My friends and family kept telling me that I was in a "horrible" relationship, but being full of low self esteem and believing his lies, I stood up for him...telling my family and friends you don't know the side of him I do. Problem is...his charming side was part of the abusive cycle.

Go to different websites about abuse, counselors and ask for information...give it to your friend...and pray they will open up and receive help to get out. It takes A LOT of support from family and friends to stay out for good!

You can't.

You can tell them, but they won't believe you. Or if they do, it'll only last up until the next "honeymoon phase".

It's as simple as that. It's taken me five years to recognise it, but believe me: the sooner you come to the realisation that there isn't *anything* you can do to open their eyes, the better off you'll *both* be.

You can be there for them-- be a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, help out wherever you can-- but trying to do any more than that will only physically and emotionally exhaust you, and help the abuser to drive a wedge between you and your friend.

I spent five long years trying to make my best friend see what was happening, and trust me-- it's not a road you want to go down.

Some abuse victims are emotionally, financially, legally, or socially invested in their abusive relationship. It is impossible to get through to them and "enlighten" them because they are in denial.

Continually telling the victim the obvious simply pushes him/her closer to the abuser and further apart from those who really care.The anger that the victim should have for the abuser is displayed on those who care.Never , ever, under any circumstances say anything disparaging about the abuser to the victim.This strengthens the abusers position by having the victim believe there is a witch hunt after him/her.So by trying to tell the victim of the abuse merely strengthens the strangle hold by the abuser.Instead, when talking to the victim, try and get the victim to reflect upon themselves, by getting them to challenge their own thoughts.When the victim is having a angry outburst ask "where's this coming from without any reference to the abuser.When the victim isn't allowed to do something tell them how sad you are that they cannot be there.Always show love, empathy and no judging to the victim.This is the very thing the abuser cannot stand, love caring and happiness.The victim will know they have a safe haven in the carers and the abuser will try to isolate the victim from the carers. The abuser will turn the heat up on the carers and a campaign of character assasination will begin on behalf of the abuser.By holding your ground under all circumstances and not falling for the trick of being impatient to rescue the victim will slowly break down the desrie of the abuser.Remember, the victim took some time to be brainwashed by the abuser and to undo it will also take time and the patience of a saint.This is the method I used to resuce my son from a demon.It's not easy as it nearly broke me as well as my son.

The idea of phrenology, which suggested that personality traits could be determined by the shape of an individual's skull, has not had a far-reaching impact on society. It was largely debunked and discredited as a pseudoscience, and its influence on society has been minimal compared to other scientific ideas.

She would probably have low self-esteem and a greater sense of self-consciousness.

To navigate through self-doubt and reach success, focus on building confidence by setting achievable goals, seeking support from others, and practicing self-care. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and believe in your abilities to overcome obstacles.

To help your 2-month-old develop self-soothing techniques, you can establish a consistent bedtime routine, encourage independent sleep by putting them down drowsy but awake, and respond to their cries with comfort and reassurance to help them learn to self-soothe.

Some key takeaways from the book "Independent People" that can help individuals become more self-reliant and autonomous include the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity, the value of hard work and self-sufficiency, and the need to prioritize independence over reliance on others. The protagonist's determination to overcome challenges and achieve his goals serves as a powerful example of the rewards that come from being self-reliant and autonomous.
