Self Esteem
Jennifer Luttman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
Low self-esteem is a behavioral and thought pattern in which an individual lacks self-confidence and a healthy sense of self-regard.
While low self-esteem itself is not a medical diagnosis, it is often serious enough that it negatively impacts the life and well-being of the person with low self-esteem. It is likewise often accompanied by mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and can occur as a result of these conditions or on its own.
People with low self-esteem often report feeling awkward, incompetent, or worthless.
Their sense of self is typically fragile, and they are often hypervigilant to any signs of rejection or dislike from others. People with low self-esteem often seek the approval of others in order to feel good, and may, in some cases, form unhealthy, codependent relationships.
Low self-esteem can have a number of serious health consequences.
People with low self-esteem may not take proper care of themselves, forgoing adequate grooming and personal hygiene, and they may indulge in unhealthy habits such as binge eating and substance abuse in order to cope with their negative thoughts and feelings. Because they often lack confidence or feel guilt when asserting themselves, people with low self-esteem may greatly underestimate their capabilities and fail to live up to their fullest potential in their professional, social, and romantic lives.
