Have you ever felt as not being enough or useless? Or do you feel other people are better than you?

If yes, you are not alone. Recent statistics reveal that approx. 85% (including adults and children) face self-esteem issues and sadly people do not even realize it.  People with self-esteem issues, tend to make negative evaluations or opinions about self either based on their performance or how others evaluate them in social situations. Such people feel unlovable, less sufficient, awkward, or incompetent. They perceive themselves as negative, inferior, or rejected in the social world.  However, it is of utmost importance that people facing this problem must understand its effects and adopt the right approach to overcome this problem.

Symptoms of low-self esteem:

• Negative self-talk or constant self-criticism
• Repetitive overwhelming thoughts
• Fear of being judged
• Lack of energy
• Becoming a “people pleaser”
• Reluctant to take on new challenges
• Perfectionism or setting unrealistic standards or expectations
• Difficulty accepting compliments
• Constant urge of comparison
• Believing you are powerless to change anything
• Unable to be happy and enjoy life
