The Causes Are As Follows

"Causes of Low Self Esteem" By Achi Amaechi

It is logical to always want to get to the root of a matter – any concept – positive or negative. After all, we’ve all been made to believe that the only way forward is to look backwards.
Almost always, this truth holds because only then can we see the true lessons that will guide us through life. Knowing the cause of anything – whatever it is implores careful analysis and research. The concept of Self Esteem is a very significant phenomenon in any individual’s life. It is the reason new fail or succeed, we laugh or cry, we rejoice r wail. Low Self Esteem will cause you those negative things you only wish for your enemies.

Low Self Esteem will make you act indifferently, negatively to the various events that occur in your life – which is the whole essence of living – the reaction, the responses, how we choose to organize ourselves in the midst of difficulties. So let’s get to the basics. Low Self Esteem is never born into you. It’s not like being shy which we may believe have some genetic factors to it. Low Self Esteem starts at a very early stage in our lives; it can however begin at a latter time in our life. Low Self Esteem can be the result of our background, our status – as we grow in age, we tend to interact, for we cannot live all by ourselves.

When we have these interactions, we begin to see a whole different scene induced by our conversations – the gap, the social status in the intonation, the beauty, the physique, the personality, the intelligence and lots more. At this point, when you give in to the pressure that you’re not complete except by being like the other person, you no longer live yourself – other people’s opinion now dictates your sense of taste, of smell, of perception towards life and of living. Your life begins to dwindle, it begins to drift, gradually, you no longer feel happy and comfortable with yourself, as a result, nothing seems to please you about yourself – low Self Esteem. Influences from the media [TV, Press, Radio, and the Internet] can also cause you low Self Esteem.

The over flogged idea of trying to model yourself to suit “the ideal lifestyle, life of the famous and the rich, the superstars” can really destroy your Self Esteem. It is a blow to your whole perception of yourself and your world. Parents could also cause low Self Esteem. A home where there’s no love produces nothing but negativity. A situation where you are not praised by who you are, what achievements you have made cannot encourage you to feel happy about yourself. These are just a few cause of low Self Esteem, to find out more or for a complete insider secret to building and increasing your Self Esteem, visit http://achieveall.blogspot.com/
