12 Signs of Low Self-Esteem

5. You don’t give opinions

This is a classic sign of low self-esteem. Here we are not talking about a boardroom meeting where people don’t give opinions fearing rejection or due to nervousness. The point here is that people with low self-esteem are afraid to speak their heart out even when they are with friends. All they are concerned about is what impression they are making on the other person and this keeps them from achieving long lasting bonds with people.

6. You are prone to depression

There are days when you are filled with delirium, while there are some other days when you feel suicidal. These are 2 extremes and you need to be wary of both these phases. If you experience this, warning bells should ring and you should be taking professional help soon.

7. You get teary or blow off at the slightest given opportunity

Do you cry for petty reasons? The fact that your tear glands are working shows that you are not satisfied with life. Having temper outbursts over trivial issues again shows that you don’t enjoy the life you are living.

8. You are faring poorly in academics, relationships and at work

High self-esteem shows itself in excellent work and relationships. The moment you see yourself failing miserably in any of these aspects, you need to have a look within to see what’s it that is troubling you.
