How to Identify Low Self-Esteem

It's easy to want to teach people how to develop their self-esteem when some folks don't even know where they stand. So, for the next few days or so, I'm going to point out to you how to know where you stand. After now, you'll be able to identify if your self-esteem is low, or high or unhealthy. Here's how to identify low self-esteem:

1. You're always looking to other people for approval. You an never feel adequate and good enough for anything. You live on complements and other's appraisals.
2. Criticisms kill your morale. No one is allowed to say something 'candid' about you. If they do, you'll be downcast till kingdom come.
3. Always looking for love, affection and attention. You fail to understand that not everyone is meant to like you. Some people are there to oppose you so you can move higher.
4. You base your level of importance on external factors, not your innate abilities. People with low self-esteem are the kind of people that look down on others because they have a lot of twitter followers and instagram likes. LOL!
5. You always compare yourself with others. You are never satisfied with what you have and who you are.
6. Inability to make confident and sound decisions. Always too bothered about what people will think of it and what the outcome will be like for you.
7. Highly insecure. You mask your insecurity in 'pride' and defensiveness. Always ready to attack anyone who 'seems' to oppose your opinion. Afraid to admit when you're wrong and mistaken.
8. Always thinking the worst about yourself. Nothing ever seems right with you. Plus, you don't take complements well. You probably think the person complementing you doesn't mean it and is flattering you.

There are other ways but this is what I can muster for now. Have a good day.
