When you lack self-esteem, it can ruin your life in a variety of ways. What’s more, there are a number of reasons why you lack self-esteem, all of which require a different solution.<\/p>\n

Once you realise why you lack self-esteem, you are a step closer to healing emotional wounds and upgrading subconscious programs.<\/p>\n

Nurturing self-esteem is crucial for overall mental and emotional well-being. It plays a significant role in shaping various aspects of a person’s life, impacting relationships, achievements, and positive mental health.<\/p>\n

Individuals with healthy self-esteem often exhibit better emotional regulation. They are more capable of managing and expressing their emotions in a constructive manner.<\/p>\n

Higher degrees of emotional intelligence empower you to form and maintain healthy relationships in all aspects of life. Individuals with a positive self-image are more likely to engage in supportive and mutually beneficial relationships.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, nurturing self-esteem contributes to increased happiness and life satisfaction. Individuals who appreciate and value themselves are more likely to lead fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, when you lack self-esteem, you generally feel increased stress levels that you will lose the relationships you do have or worry that you\u2019re not achieving the standards your boss expects of you in your job.<\/p>\n

Other typical symptoms that indicate you have low self-esteem include questioning whether you fit in, worrying about whether a person likes you, having paranoid thoughts about what people think of you and fretting over new challenges. <\/span><\/p>\n

What is Self-Esteem? <\/b><\/h3>\n

Self-esteem is your sense of self-worth and plays a central role in how you experience life. How much you value yourself has a direct correlation with your capacity to pursue goals and the quality of your relationships.<\/p>\n

For example, self-worth can determine how your friends and lovers treat you and how you interact with them. But also how you treat them. [1]<\/span> Thus the value you place on yourself determines how you nurture relationships and create meaningful bonds. <\/span><\/p>\n

A negative relationship with yourself can damage your family and intimate relationships, your career prospects, and your overall satisfaction with your life. [2]<\/span> People who have a low sense of self-worth tend to have a hard time forging close and meaningful relationships.<\/p>\n

The definition of self-esteem given in psychology is \u201cthe ability to form an identity and then attach a value to it.\u201d [3]<\/span> So if you have low self-worth and attach a high value to a friendship or relationship, it\u2019s more likely to increase your desire to hold on to it.<\/p>\n

You can apply the same reasoning to all aspects of your life. The self-development guru Jim Rohn said one of the most important lessons he learnt was to ask how much is something worth rather than how much it costs.<\/p>\n

The answer is, how much is something worth to you? What value does it offer to the quality of your life?<\/p>\n

How you attach value to yourself is largely determined by your perceived characteristics and competencies. People who lack self-esteem typically deny themselves opportunities to pursue goals they are worthy of on the basis that they do not feel as though they are good enough.<\/p>\n

Therefore, how you evaluate yourself plays a central role in how you experience life. The problem some people have is that how you perceive yourself does not always reflect how you actually are or the value you bring to a relationship or job role. [4]<\/span><\/p>\n

This can cause all sorts of problems for individuals with low self-esteem. The types of problems you can expect to encounter can be identified by which archetype self-esteem surfaces.<\/p>\n

Wounded Archetypes with Lack Self-Esteem <\/b><\/h3>\n

Self-esteem surfaces in four archetypes. You can identify the archetype by the nature in which low self-esteem appears for you.<\/p>\n

Caretaker<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you possess the unhealthy qualities of the wounded Caretaker, your lack of self-worth originated because you did not form strong emotional bonds with your father. To get the love, attention and recognition you craved from your father, you adopted maternal values and became all-nurturing, all-giving and all-loving.<\/p>\n

A father\u2019s role in the family unit is to teach the child discipline, values and how to effectively engage and interact with the world. This is necessary for developing competencies and laying the foundations to build a stable inner structure.<\/p>\n

When the relationship between father and child is not there, the child develops a subconscious program that you are not worthy of love and attention. Your presence and your achievements are not recognised.<\/p>\n

The consequence of this is a lack of emotional security and the belief that you have to do things for other people to be recognised. You de-value the value you bring to a relationship and may even lose all sense of dignity by engaging in degrading acts just so other people will respect you.<\/p>\n

A lack of self-respect is self-neglect.<\/p>\n

\"Depression<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not unusual for a wounded Caretaker personality with low self-esteem to be manipulated by others. People will take advantage of your good nature.<\/p>\n
