Achievements aren't just stuff other people notice. Achievements also aren't just things you'd brag about on social media. I call those hashtag achievements. The biggest achievements can be those nobody knows about. Like for someone who is depressed - getting out of bed and taking a shower. Or for someone who has social anxiety - saying hi to a neighbor. Or for someone who has low self-esteem - doing something kind for themselves. My point is that these achievements may seem small (you might not even count them as achievements), but they are actually huge! They are the first and the hardest step to a better life. 💛💛💛
@@skyrocketyourself-esteem9609 i expect people close to me to cheer and show a sense of encouragement towards me. I do pat my back too, but I just wish I was given a "way to go girlllll" instead of a "okay, cool, that's awesome" :/
Hard part is when you try to improve your self esteem and get the courage to get up and do something, but then there's plenty of people waiting and ready to push it right back down, on like where do you think you're going? Lol all the best to anyone reading this. 💜💜
Yup this is what sucks the most. When I finally feel confident to talk more, people will say “Wow I didn’t know you could talk.” I know they don’t mean it in a malicious way but it also makes me feel more alienated.
This is so true.. It happened to me today and the solution to this is finding more generous people and adding them to your circle so that they would lift you up. I am gonna get rid of people who destroy my mental health and find my people
To be honest, I think I may have a bit of low-self esteem. 1: I isolate myself a lot, even at family gatherings 2: I always apologize for anything, even though I know it’s not my fault, I still apologize. 3: I don’t think I look good in anything, so I just wear long sweaters to cover my fat.. 4: I compare myself to others. I also say “she’s so pretty, I wish I looked like her. But I’m just so fat that why would I try?” 5: I don’t talk a lot, I’m just so quiet that people often forget I was there, nor exist. Btw: I’m not speaking from Chiaki, it’s the actually person speaking. Edit: another one is that I always think what I do is just, not good enough. One time, when I was little, my mom saw me draw this really picture. She loved it, and assumed that I can draw anything. She got me a book for actual artist. I just drew some little doodles that weren’t good. Just kid drawings. She would always ask, “Hey, have you re-drew that drawing yet?” “No..sorry.” “We’ll draw it again, I want to frame it and show it off to people!” I would always try and draw it but my drawings of it were not good enough to me. Eventually I gave up. My mom said that she just wants to frame it and I should hurry up and draw it. I told her I can’t re-draw it, it’s hard and it’s not easy to draw something as good as that specific drawing. She just got mad and it made me feel..worthless, useless. And a failure. I felt like I disappointed her..
Hi. I just wanted to share. After 9 months of being diagnosed with Severe Depression, Severe Anxiety Disorder and Untreated ADHD, I am finally able to look back at the me who used to relate to this. It gets better guys, time doesn't heal the pain, it just teaches you to deal with the pain. ♡
do you think the things mentioned in the video might be symptoms of of adhd and depression ? cause i relate to each point very strongly , from as long as i remember . I have anxiety both general but especially social anxiety , no need for diagnosis , its clear as day . but if there is chance of adhd and depression i might as well get a test of all the three .
1. 0:48 - Sense of self-doubt 2. 1:13 - You are overly apologetic 3. 1:41 - You put the blame on others 4. 2:06 - You have bad posture 5. 2:39 - You've developed bad habits 6. 3:05 - You downplay your achievements 7. 3:28 - You have a negative self-image 8. 3:55 - You strive for perfectionism
I'm so sorry to hear that. The good news is that you can raise your self-esteem, if you practice self-care and start being kind to yourself in your mind 💛
@@skyrocketyourself-esteem9609 it’s extremely difficult to get into habits of self care including taking care of yourself because you feel unworthy or not confident
I doubt myself, I overthink, I am low on confidence, I procrastinate, I strive for perfection,I can't express ideas clearly, I can't communicate properly.
@@ambrish58 I am trying to handle. I don’t know what will work, but I’m planning to work on myself (my mental health). I think low self esteem is linked to the feeling of ‘vulnerability’. And there are certain areas/ aspects of our lives where we feel/are vulnerable.
But that’s all okay. We just need to remember that perfection is a myth. And we also need to remember that no matter how much ever we try, there will always be a dozen of things where we are vulnerable.
But at the same time, we can’t convince ourselves to stay like this forever. So the point is - let’s try to narrow down those vulnerabilities which matter to us the most, which hinder our day to day lives the most. For me, those vulnerabilities are - I’m bad at people skills. I’m weak in common sense. I’m not at all street smart. I never took responsibilities in my family, and depend on others most of the time…etc etc. I’m gonna work on these vulnerabilities now, so that I don’t have that ‘hidden fear’ that makes me avoid social conversations and hide. I’m gonna stretch out my comfort zone.
When you feel worthless, it’s hard to know where to start - when you don’t deserve happiness what’s the point in seeking it? Not depressed, just keenly aware of my reality. Not everyone gets to be happy.
Everyone gets to be happy, but nobody gets to be happy all the time. You do deserve happiness! You just have to start believing in yourself and practicing self-care and kindness to yourself.
There are times that I feel worthless. Somebody told me at work indirectly that "worthless" was a cuss word, when it is legally an adjective. When it comes to looking for love, I'm a COMPLETE LOSER!!!!!! That is why I have stayed single 54 years and over a month and definitely counting!!! I'm a JERK because so many bad things have happened to me.
Since youre a girl, i think you would get me a little better so i really reccomend listening to music that gives you a sense of safety like (just my opinion dont attack me) BTS songs. Their songs like *Magic Shop* and *Mikrokosmos* have such deep meanings and all they care about in their life is the other members (its a group) and Army (their fans) you wont believe how much they love us. Even the fandom is so nice. I mean it seems toxic and untolerable at first but if you get deeper into the fandom, there are nicer and nicer people who can even help you if you have deppressed thoughts and the lyrics of their songs will just make you cry if youre really going through this stuff. I dont mean to offend anyone just trying to help.
Me: I'm a terrible person. People only hang out with me because they feel sorry for me. Friend: Don't be silly, I love you! Me: Oh no, I've tricked somebody into liking me because I'm such a terrible person!
this is also known as the imposter syndrome.. i mean im not saying that you should visit a doc.. just try searching about it. im surely you can find ways to cope up with this. xoxo.
@@jasnoorkaur2499 Oh no! I've been thinking about talking to a therapist but that'd involve talking to strangers lol 😅 Thanks for the info, I'll look it up xx
My perfectionism was debilitating. I can't believe she pointed out that one might even avoid starting projects for fear of failure. I don't even pick up my VIDEO GAMES anymore because I'm too afraid of failure. I can't enjoy. However, I started coming out of this behavior once I made friends. If my friend picks up a controller and doesn't give a shit how well she performs, I start feeling like its ok for me to do the same. Surround yourself with people who are healthier than you in your critical areas and make a conscious effort to notice the differences. It'll help you. You will find that you can be the same way for them in their problem areas. Help your world, help yourself.
I really think I have the lowest self-esteem. I literally can't go outside, can't make eye contact with someone (even someone of my own family), and can't talk with people without being scared because of how much I hate myself and how much I find myself ugly. The thing is, I hate myself so much that I avoid love and crushes (I hate romance movies), I avoid basic things like going shopping because every single thing that I do, even if it’s a good thing, makes me terribly hate myself. I am 99.9% convinced that I will never love myself. I don’t even know what it feels like. I never even take any selfies (I’ve never posted my face on social media)
What I tend to do a lot is overthink everything like when I’m meeting someone for the first time I always criticise everything I said and try to go over the conversation again in my head.
My self esteem is that bad it's held me back from things I enjoy and I'm good at because I tell myself I can't do it and I'm bad at things all the time, it's taken me until now to realise the problem as I just thought it was normal. it's had a massive impact on my life over the last 10 years and I hope anyone who suffers with this mindset including myself break through the barrier!
Speaking for myself personally I know my low self-esteem was greatly impacted by my childhood/teen years. So I like to thank some toxic parents/family members for that. I'm in therapy and I'm not as bad as I used to be but I still feel useless in the world. Like a waste of space. I think I was just born to be the universe's personal punching bag.
@@patricecomedy Therapy helps. I have a wonderful chosen family (friends and people I work with) I finally came to terms with my gender identity and I'm proud to be openly trans. I still struggle with my self-esteem and place in the world but I'm doing better. Thanks for asking :)
When we tend to think negative about ourselves, just know that God says we are all what He has said in his word. You are not a punching bag to no one. God has made you fearfully and wonderfull like Him self in His own image. I say I am nothing special, but God says I am fearfully and wonderfully made. “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:14). Always remember and never forget. Shalom.
And always go to God because He as your Maker knows your purpose and has a great plan for your life. And all what you have been through is a learning proces. Never ever again let your experiences stop you from excelling and go for what you want and your happiness. At the end, they are mere experiences but do not determine what you are. God knows who you are, and therefore His word will show you the answers and therefore He is called The Truth, The Life and The Way. Shalom.
There are 2 more signs of self-esteem I'd add here: 9) Self-doubt or doubting others 10) You put yourself behind others (similar to downplaying yourself but you think of others first for something before yourself when asked)
I had #2, #5, and #8 as a child and teenager. Although I treated my classmates kindly, they eventually started to ask too much of me, going from asking me if they could borrow my pencils, to asking me if they could copy my homework. I had no idea that they were starting to abuse my good nature. It got to the point where I started to become bitter. I felt like I had to comply. Don't be so nice that others start to use your good nature against you.
Signs of low self-esteem below: 1. Below sea level. Being below sea level can often make people have low self-esteem sailors experience this a lot. 2. "Esteem" is rarely with you. This can be heartbreaking at sometimes but it happens. 3. Your self-esteem is sitting down. This can happen a lot. Just do exercises and you'll be good. I hope you're now good and ready to go. You absolute MADLAD
@@ThickestSkull03 I consider that if medication is advised, therapy is highly needed but not only this... A healthy diet with some of the minerals and vitamins that could help you to improve your symptoms could help a lot. And exercises are almost as needed as therapy. Even when is hard, at least walking a little can help
You are an amazing person. Thank you very much 🤗 I have subscribed to your channel. Subscribe to mine as well and watch flamsparks channel, if you want.👍
I've had low-self esteem since I was in elementary school. I've accepted the fact that people like me don't live long. I also truly believe that death is the only way I'll finally be free.
Seven is way too true for me. Since I genuinely believe that I'm ugly compared to people who are leagues above me in appearance, it's hard to accept compliments from others. I try to distance myself from K-pop and anime sometimes, but I still can't help but to feel self-conscious. If anyone who is also a fan of K-pop and anime feels the same exact way as me, then just know that you're never alone in the journey of self-love and self-worth! 🙌😭💔
Them: *You overly apologize, you have bad posture, You've developed bad habits, You Down play your achievements, You have a negitive self image, You strive for Perfection* Me: *Snaps fingers* AHAHAHA I _KNEW_ IT!!!
I’ve always had low self-esteem to the point where I don’t know what higher self-esteem feels like. I’m scared of having higher self-esteem. What if I one day hurt others due to my self-esteem, I’d rather be hurt myself.
The only step I don't do/have is blaming others. If somebody hits me or something I blame myself for being in the way. I'm in the 4th grade and this makes me realize that yes, I need to work on my self esteem.
same, i often blamed myself back when I was in fourth grade but years later my self-esteem worsened and not only i blame myself, but there are times I blame people as well for unreasonable reasons, but in the end I realize that im basically blaming others and I scold myself for it. My self-esteem is affecting my academic performance
You are only in 4th grade but the fact that you understand about these kinda things from such a young age is pretty cool man . I'm 18 rn and I have a lot of regrets but make sure that any skill you pursue , don't quit . Keep going even if it's hard or difficult .
One thing I found out about myself is: I see the love others feel for me as something to be wary of. What I mean by this is: sometimes, when my mother (for example) compliments me on something, I give for granted what she says and I fail to give it importance because what my brain tells me is "well of course she's telling you nice things, she's your mother, it's her biological/natural role and purpose to cherish and love you, she's either lying to you because she doesn't want you to suffer, OR, she's sincere, but she's under the influence of love, hence her judgement is unreliable"; when this happens to me I tend to seek validation from the people that hate me, because they're not under the influence of love and therefore I convince myself that only THEIR judgement is to be looked into and believed. What happens though, is that I never find the validation I seek, because it's obviously rare for someone who hates you to compliment you, I myself wouldn't compliment someone I hate, and that is because I either don't see them valuable, OR, I do see them as competent beings, but I rather not let them know that (because I don't wanna do them any good). Despite me knowing that people who hate me are not likely to validate me (because, on the other hand, they're under the influence of HATE), my subconscious still craves that validation from them, and still ignores the kind words I'm given by the ones who love me. Because of this incoherence I often feel ungrateful. Rationally, I know that they mean it, but deep down there's a voice that keeps telling me awful things, and because of that voice I struggle to trust my most conscious/rational part. I don't want to seek attention by writing this comment, I'm just desperately searching for people who can relate to me, that would make me feel less lonely
Every word that you said, I can relate to. Especially about that part where you don't believe on compliments from your love-ones. I think it ties to Imposter Syndrome, and it fits pretty well to me. Another thing I do, is apologizing for everything, even for things I don't need to. It feels so bad not to apologize, I literally feel my guts twisting from that uncomfortable feeling, and this voice in my head ,,You need to f***** apologize you dumb****" I don't even trust myself and take serious my thoughts and words. I crave for advice from others, even if it's easiest thing to do.
I have low self esteem and its very painful. Especially when being in public spaces or even around your friends. You feel like you need to be perfect and always let everyone down. And honestly, body language does say it all. I hope that anyone else with low self esteem can help raise it up by talking it out with someone you trust.
This is so me. I never like how I look. I don’t put much effort in how I look. Whether I put effort in how I look or not I still think and know I am ugly. I get jealous of how other people look. I don’t like seeing other people’s pictures. I don’t believe people when they compliment me. The list goes on. I will never feel good about myself. I get jealous and angry about many things. Angry about other’s achievements.
Yes!!! It’s crazy how that happens. It sometimes (mostly) makes me sooo anxious when summer is over and I can feel my lack of self love taking centre stage. Even during summer, I’m anxious because I feel like a fraud when I’m feeling confident. It’s such a contradiction but it’s happens.
A lot of these do apply to me, and some of them were cemented into me at a very young age (due to being "different" and therefore the target of a significant amount bullying at school, as well as well-intentioned, but seemingly critical - in my mind - parenting). I was told that the bullying was all my own doing. Though I now know that this was probably not the case, the scars are still there. I did slouch too, or at least remember being "criticized" about it. Asking a girl out? Not going to happen
I’m applying for a job and i’ve never doubt myself this much in my life. What if I’m too weak for a job? What if they choose someone who has more exprience over me-who does not even have a year of work experience?
Just tell them that "you might find someone who is equally or more experienced than me for this job, but you won't find someone more passionate to do this job than me".
I have tried other jobs and then they chose someone else when I tried an experienced person I even had a good answer for one so disappointing So I have to freelance now instead sucks 😑
During a reading assessment test in my class, i literally was shivering and shaking and vibranting out of nervousness. Even my teacher pointed that out and said if i didn't shivered, my speech would have been perfect. 😢
A lot of these apply to me like having the mindset that you are inferior to other people in many aspects, constantly being self conscious in front of others, trying to change the way you want to do things just because you feel others may think of it in a negative or different way, getting bullied (like I kinda get bullied for being thin,etc)
I have most of these, I try to better myself in some ways but it just doesn't seem to be enough. I have this strong feeling that being perfect is everything and by simply having that, you'll succeed more and have this lion blood that immensely exerts confidence. I know exactly what I don't like or find appealing about myself, which is why I'm undeniably screwed.
I relate to the things mentioned on this video. I have low self esteem & I'm really self critical. My low self esteem afected me so much that I quit a job early because I thought I was incapable of doing the job and others were better than me. The worst part of having low self esteem for me is how you believe your own negative thoughts about yourself, others and the world and end up feeling depressed. I have hope I will be able to overcome this problem though
as usual, im sorry if you're seeing this again, i really want this to be a video :D psych2go, can you make a video on mirror touch synesthesia? i just found the name for it and i've had it for years. it's when someone feels pain or a touch when they see someone else in pain/being touched. i just want awareness for this condition as it's a bit rare. love your videos :) edit: psych2go said they'll think about it. they commented on another video where i put this comment. :)
I sometimes come to these videos because it reminds me that I have issues. I've been soooo lost in the dark I don't realize I'm in the dark anymore because every thing I can see is the same. It's like being in pain for so long you just don't feel it anymore, I've been this way for almost 20 years. I can't afford therapy but I definitely check all the boxes for Dysthymia, regardless I wake up everyday and take my a** to work lol it is what it is. One day at a time I guess God bless 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 ❤
I have 5% confidence in myself but i slouch a lot and I care about how others see me :( I could feel pretty when I look in the mirror but when I see others or go out into public I bring myself down and tell myself how horrible and disgusting I look compared to all these other people.
Me Just Venting: Here I am, 27 yr old black woman, just now realizing how this low self esteem shit is literally ruining all aspects of my life. I just want to know what it’s like to wake up and be completely content with myself my body and my life. Sometimes I feel like I don’t even want to be here if I can’t be free from the negative thoughts coming from within. I don’t know what to do or how to work on it. People say “just love yourself” but idk how.
I have a negative self image because my mom makes me feel like I’m not pretty when I’m only 13 and weigh 145 pounds. I also have bad habits like biting my nails. I try to be positive about my body but it’s hard when she scolds me about my portions
Hey I know I'm 9 months late (wow) but I was looking for this comment cuz same! And I’m also a teen My mom has been doing this since I was like 7 yes… SEVEN she confuses me sometimes she calls me pretty and other times she makes me feel like the ugliest kid in the world always talking about me and pointing out every single flaw I have that even I didn’t notice I had until she pointed it out I remember once she said I’m too loud all The time and how I’m super quiet and don’t speak often I have really course rough short greasy hair and I can’t control it I really can’t I wear a wig cuz she hates it so much her hair is shiny and wavy so she doesn’t understand she gets mad at me for the hair that grows on my head? And I get it from my dad anyways I remember once she was brushing my hair really hard and she said it’s “Your hair is so short it looks like your dads!” And that wasn’t a complement my dads hair is pretty bad but not as bad as mine “I wish you had your brothers hair UGH!” She’s so disgusted by it I can’t control it should I just Get a perm? both of my parents criticize my hair what baffles me is my dad has the same hair as me yet treats me like I’m some sort of Alien cuz of my hair now I hate it and I’m gonna shave it all off and wear a wig for the rest of my life my parents don’t realize what they are doing too they think it’s normal idk if that’s how their parents raised them but I know my mom didn’t go through this cuz her parents never criticized her looks idk why she’s doing it to me what did I do to her to make her dislike they way I look so much? I’m her kid anyways… She also talks about my weight I’m trying to work on it but it’s hard she wouldn’t get it she’s like 90 freaking pounds I weigh about 145 pounds like you she’s also the one shoving food down my throat so it doesn’t make sense It seems like no matter what she always finds a flaw and points it out and makes me feel bad I remember one time I was 10-11 (actually ten I think) and I wasn’t wearing a bra cuz they are uncomfortable and I was in my house so it didn’t matter and my mom started taking about my Breast who in their right mind tells a KID her breast doesn’t look good and she also said people will stare or whatever who’s gonna stare at my breast??? And why??? I was freaking 10 I was already super insecure about my breast cuz I was 10 I didn’t expect puberty to hit at 10 This was long I’m sorry
The thing is, I don't blame others, but I blame myself too much. Even for stuffs which isn't caused by me, I feel like I have no options other than to blame myself for it...
I literally apologised to someone in Greggs because THEY got my order wrong. I did nothing wrong, and apologised. The woman serving me said "it's not your fault" and all I wanted to do was apologise again. I don't think I've ever had much self-esteem, but the older I am, the worse it's becoming? I feel like I come across as so passive aggressive to people sometimes because I just panic when it comes to talking to them. I automatically compare myself to them, their abilities, their ease with conversation and making friends. Then I worry that they don't like me, and get all the self-depreciating thoughts about why they definitely shouldn't like me.
I'm so sorry to hear that. The good news is that you can raise your self-esteem, if you practice self-care and start being kind to yourself in your mind 💛
me before the vid: "yeah I definitely don't have low self esteem, I'm all good!" me after the vid and finding I relate to every single one of these: "fuuuuu-"
Thank you psych2go for posting this, I just realized that I’m really insecure about myself and I think the number one reason why I feel this way is because of my family. Basically, I don’t look the best physically so when they joke about my appearance, inside, I always feel a pang pain. Even if it was just a joke, in my mind I always think that, ‘Jokes are half meant’ so they must really mean that joke. Even though my classmates compliment me I still feel extremely insecure because my own family doesn’t even think of me that way :,(
I still have low self esteem even after I defeated my sadness. Thats because my low self esteem wasn't because of my sadness, my sadness was because of my low self esteem. And a whole lot more than just that issue. I fixed one issue after it got out of control and I still have 1000 more to go. But its not out of control anymore, so even though I could be happier, I will stop fighting. For now.
Ohh god, that list is endless Striving for perfection, picking on my skin, downplaying my achievements, bad posture, not knowing how to receive compliments….
Does anybody go straight to the comments section at the start of a Psych2Go video just to find that one summary kid, because you’re too lazy to watch the whole video on your own?
I do have low self-esteem and I am thriving for perfection in my school like my projects, homeworks, seatwork. And I cried in the bathroom because I’m scared to talk to my teachers and I constantly self doubt about myself for not being good enough, for not making doing the things you have to do, I am still crying in my living room alone today. And tomorrow is Monday in my country. And i am scared to tell my teacher that I haven’t discussed with my group members about what to do because I kept thinking I wasn’t good enough
I feel that. I had an essay that was about 30% of my grade and I just didn't do it because my brain bullied itself into a emotional breakdown, saying it "wasn't good enough", "everyone is lying to you about how good you are", "you will never do anything in your life." Ect. Ect. That's probably why I play so many video games. To make myself, even if it's only for 3 seconds, stop committing mental suicide.
I have had low self esteem my whole life. I am 58 now.different reasins for it with different people. For me I have low education and school and worked labor jobs my whole life. I never tried to advance because it scared me that I couldn't do it, from my lower education I was picked on in school as a kid and had few friends. I have a lot of friends now but the past never truly leaves you. You never forget. Society also puts a standard on people and if you don't measure up then society rejects you as unimportant.
So I thought I had self-esteem but now since I watched this video I realized that I have low self-esteem Thank you so much for telling us 8 signs about low self-esteem ❤️
I do go to a psychologist so I should probably tell her about this but I literally checked off every single thing in this video not that she probably doesn’t Already know 😅
My self esteem has absolutely crashed this year. Every single day I think and say the most horrible things about myself. I have no love for myself. Whenever I think of myself all I think is how much I hate myself. I always say that I pity the person who falls in love with me.
Biggest one for me is being over apologetic. I apologise for everything. Everything. And feel awkward if I don’t. I just never want others to feel it’s their fault, I’d rather the blame be put on me.

Btw: I’m not speaking from Chiaki, it’s the actually person speaking.
Edit: another one is that I always think what I do is just, not good enough. One time, when I was little, my mom saw me draw this really picture. She loved it, and assumed that I can draw anything. She got me a book for actual artist. I just drew some little doodles that weren’t good. Just kid drawings. She would always ask, “Hey, have you re-drew that drawing yet?” “No..sorry.” “We’ll draw it again, I want to frame it and show it off to people!” I would always try and draw it but my drawings of it were not good enough to me. Eventually I gave up. My mom said that she just wants to frame it and I should hurry up and draw it. I told her I can’t re-draw it, it’s hard and it’s not easy to draw something as good as that specific drawing. She just got mad and it made me feel..worthless, useless. And a failure. I felt like I disappointed her..
I relate
Relate to 5th point the most
I relate... But I gotta find a way outta this shit mentality.
😔Relatable
Bestie it literally seems like something i would have written
I'm gonna openly say: I have low self-esteem. I always have low self-esteem. And that's sad.

I know what you feel, unfortunately me too!
Me too... =)

The art style is SOOOOOOOOOOOO FRICKIN cute

yess, i got used to it but sometimes i have to remember myself how cute they are
Agreed
Totally agree.
Agreed! This animation is probably my favorite 😆
Why are they posting so much in one day- I'm greatful but this is the most we've ever gotten probably.
Yep, but i don‘t mind with it
I’m worried they might get overworked
One word.
Quarantine.
I think a lot of these videos were unlisted
I can agree, all of 3 milion people can relate ...
Every time I fail a test in school, the Try Not to Cry Challenge officially starts.

It makes me cry aswell 😭

Hi. I just wanted to share. After 9 months of being diagnosed with Severe Depression, Severe Anxiety Disorder and Untreated ADHD, I am finally able to look back at the me who used to relate to this. It gets better guys, time doesn't heal the pain, it just teaches you to deal with the pain.
♡
do you think the things mentioned in the video might be symptoms of of adhd and depression ? cause i relate to each point very strongly , from as long as i remember . I have anxiety both general but especially social anxiety , no need for diagnosis , its clear as day . but if there is chance of adhd and depression i might as well get a test of all the three .
Liar
That’s almost unbelievably crazy you have all that . . .
I also suffer from untreated ADHD and anxiety and it sucks. I'm with you❤
I have severe depression and anxiety n also untreated ADHD myself…..
1. 0:48 - Sense of self-doubt
2. 1:13 - You are overly apologetic
3. 1:41 - You put the blame on others
4. 2:06 - You have bad posture
5. 2:39 - You've developed bad habits
6. 3:05 - You downplay your achievements
7. 3:28 - You have a negative self-image
8. 3:55 - You strive for perfectionism
haha they’re right
Why do i fit a lot of these
Tessa how did you get this out earlier than when this was published
Tessa
Yep
I was about to say these
Lol
i don’t know what it feels like to live without low self-esteem.
and i think that’s really sad.
I'm so sorry to hear that. The good news is that you can raise your self-esteem, if you practice self-care and start being kind to yourself in your mind 💛
@@skyrocketyourself-esteem9609 it’s extremely difficult to get into habits of self care including taking care of yourself because you feel unworthy or not confident
@@AlissaZ yeah i'm tired of hearing stuff like "don't be so hard on yourself" OKAY BUT HOW, i actually feel like i should go harder
@@musix_9968 yeah. And I realized my freshman year that I had low self esteem since day one and I didn’t know at All. It’s difficult

Thank you 🍃
I don’t wanna admit it, but this is the definition of me. No matter how much I try to be happy, my brain always ruins it
I doubt myself, I overthink, I am low on confidence, I procrastinate, I strive for perfection,I can't express ideas clearly, I can't communicate properly.
I am there too, right now
@@mahima7638 how are you dealing it with now?
@@ambrish58 I am trying to handle. I don’t know what will work, but I’m planning to work on myself (my mental health).
I think low self esteem is linked to the feeling of ‘vulnerability’. And there are certain areas/ aspects of our lives where we feel/are vulnerable.
But that’s all okay. We just need to remember that perfection is a myth. And we also need to remember that no matter how much ever we try, there will always be a dozen of things where we are vulnerable.
But at the same time, we can’t convince ourselves to stay like this forever.
So the point is - let’s try to narrow down those vulnerabilities which matter to us the most, which hinder our day to day lives the most.
For me, those vulnerabilities are -
I’m bad at people skills. I’m weak in common sense. I’m not at all street smart. I never took responsibilities in my family, and depend on others most of the time…etc etc.
I’m gonna work on these vulnerabilities now, so that I don’t have that ‘hidden fear’ that makes me avoid social conversations and hide. I’m gonna stretch out my comfort zone.
When you feel worthless, it’s hard to know where to start - when you don’t deserve happiness what’s the point in seeking it?
Not depressed, just keenly aware of my reality. Not everyone gets to be happy.
Everyone gets to be happy, but nobody gets to be happy all the time.
You do deserve happiness! You just have to start believing in yourself and practicing self-care and kindness to yourself.
@@skyrocketyourself-esteem9609 it's not that easy if you have low self esteem especially when the issues are probably related to something much deeper
There are times that I feel worthless. Somebody told me at work indirectly that "worthless" was a cuss word, when it is legally an adjective. When it comes to looking for love, I'm a COMPLETE LOSER!!!!!! That is why I have stayed single 54 years and over a month and definitely counting!!! I'm a JERK because so many bad things have happened to me.
Why am I watching this when I already know that my self esteem is like thin air
Me too! But it is important to know the side effects of low self esteem to work on a slightly healthier self esteem.
Self-Esteem? What does that even mean? :-(
I relate to every single one of these. God thats just sad.
Since youre a girl, i think you would get me a little better so i really reccomend listening to music that gives you a sense of safety like (just my opinion dont attack me) BTS songs. Their songs like *Magic Shop* and *Mikrokosmos* have such deep meanings and all they care about in their life is the other members (its a group) and Army (their fans) you wont believe how much they love us. Even the fandom is so nice. I mean it seems toxic and untolerable at first but if you get deeper into the fandom, there are nicer and nicer people who can even help you if you have deppressed thoughts and the lyrics of their songs will just make you cry if youre really going through this stuff. I dont mean to offend anyone just trying to help.
Anoushka None awww your so nice! i will listen to those songs sometime soon! thank you🥺
@@vannahedits thank you that means a lot to me 💜💜

My perfectionism was debilitating. I can't believe she pointed out that one might even avoid starting projects for fear of failure. I don't even pick up my VIDEO GAMES anymore because I'm too afraid of failure. I can't enjoy.
However, I started coming out of this behavior once I made friends. If my friend picks up a controller and doesn't give a shit how well she performs, I start feeling like its ok for me to do the same.
Surround yourself with people who are healthier than you in your critical areas and make a conscious effort to notice the differences. It'll help you. You will find that you can be the same way for them in their problem areas. Help your world, help yourself.

Derpy H m s a m e
I guess we wont
yep, we might never know
i used to, but not anymore
it was the best feeling ever and i felt like i could conquer the world
High self esteem means too much ego and dont think what others feel. Yeah I have low self esteem but dealt with people who have high self esteem.
I really think I have the lowest self-esteem. I literally can't go outside, can't make eye contact with someone (even someone of my own family), and can't talk with people without being scared because of how much I hate myself and how much I find myself ugly. The thing is, I hate myself so much that I avoid love and crushes (I hate romance movies), I avoid basic things like going shopping because every single thing that I do, even if it’s a good thing, makes me terribly hate myself. I am 99.9% convinced that I will never love myself. I don’t even know what it feels like. I never even take any selfies (I’ve never posted my face on social media)
Start to meditate. You need a different Fokus on your thoughts.
exercise, meditate, music, spend less time on internet.

We ran out of budget sry
You have to be a girl
What I tend to do a lot is overthink everything like when I’m meeting someone for the first time I always criticise everything I said and try to go over the conversation again in my head.
My self esteem is that bad it's held me back from things I enjoy and I'm good at because I tell myself I can't do it and I'm bad at things all the time, it's taken me until now to realise the problem as I just thought it was normal. it's had a massive impact on my life over the last 10 years and I hope anyone who suffers with this mindset including myself break through the barrier!
Speaking for myself personally I know my low self-esteem was greatly impacted by my childhood/teen years. So I like to thank some toxic parents/family members for that. I'm in therapy and I'm not as bad as I used to be but I still feel useless in the world. Like a waste of space. I think I was just born to be the universe's personal punching bag.
Can We Talk About It? 💯👏🏼🌟
How's it going after a year more therapy? Has it helped?
@@patricecomedy Therapy helps. I have a wonderful chosen family (friends and people I work with) I finally came to terms with my gender identity and I'm proud to be openly trans. I still struggle with my self-esteem and place in the world but I'm doing better. Thanks for asking :)
When we tend to think negative about ourselves, just know that God says we are all what He has said in his word.
You are not a punching bag to no one. God has made you fearfully and wonderfull like Him self in His own image.
I say I am nothing special, but God says I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well” (Psalm 139:14).
Always remember and never forget. Shalom.
And always go to God because He as your Maker knows your purpose and has a great plan for your life. And all what you have been through is a learning proces. Never ever again let your experiences stop you from excelling and go for what you want and your happiness. At the end, they are mere experiences but do not determine what you are. God knows who you are, and therefore His word will show you the answers and therefore He is called The Truth, The Life and The Way. Shalom.

(2) :
It’s one thing to try to be perfect, it’s another to not even attempt because you know you won’t do well even if you did try
There are 2 more signs of self-esteem I'd add here:
9) Self-doubt or doubting others
10) You put yourself behind others (similar to downplaying yourself but you think of others first for something before yourself when asked)

We hope you find these videos helpful :) What other topics would you like us to cover next?
I suffer from this, I feel like I have to be perfect to get others to like me and if I’m being myself I’m afraid of judgement. I hate it
I had #2, #5, and #8 as a child and teenager. Although I treated my classmates kindly, they eventually started to ask too much of me, going from asking me if they could borrow my pencils, to asking me if they could copy my homework. I had no idea that they were starting to abuse my good nature. It got to the point where I started to become bitter. I felt like I had to comply. Don't be so nice that others start to use your good nature against you.
I feel attacked because the only one that didn't apply to me is 3, I actually do the opposite of 3 a.k.a blame everything on myself ;-;
Same lmao
Yay, we can have low self-esteem together!

@@tazzredbandana6911 of course
Signs of low self-esteem below:
1. Below sea level. Being below sea level can often make people have low self-esteem sailors experience this a lot.
2. "Esteem" is rarely with you. This can be heartbreaking at sometimes but it happens.
3. Your self-esteem is sitting down. This can happen a lot. Just do exercises and you'll be good.
I hope you're now good and ready to go. You absolute MADLAD
Aw, thanks. Is it a Mariana's trench level? Is like 11,034km depth.... I'm like, around that level.
I mean, exercise would only work for me if I was able to keep at it and lose some weight.
@@ThickestSkull03 I consider that if medication is advised, therapy is highly needed but not only this... A healthy diet with some of the minerals and vitamins that could help you to improve your symptoms could help a lot. And exercises are almost as needed as therapy. Even when is hard, at least walking a little can help

@@solaeris6346 I had adhd and I struggled a lot with my peers till I began micro dosing and it has helped me a lot. You should consider it
Seven is way too true for me. Since I genuinely believe that I'm ugly compared to people who are leagues above me in appearance, it's hard to accept compliments from others. I try to distance myself from K-pop and anime sometimes, but I still can't help but to feel self-conscious. If anyone who is also a fan of K-pop and anime feels the same exact way as me, then just know that you're never alone in the journey of self-love and self-worth! 🙌😭💔

the lady who spoke in this video has a beautiful voice, she should speak for a audible book or do a podcast.
We are thinking a podcast soon! But then it's so hard managing multiple things!
The only step I don't do/have is blaming others. If somebody hits me or something I blame myself for being in the way. I'm in the 4th grade and this makes me realize that yes, I need to work on my self esteem.
same, i often blamed myself back when I was in fourth grade but years later my self-esteem worsened and not only i blame myself, but there are times I blame people as well for unreasonable reasons, but in the end I realize that im basically blaming others and I scold myself for it. My self-esteem is affecting my academic performance
You are only in 4th grade but the fact that you understand about these kinda things from such a young age is pretty cool man .
I'm 18 rn and I have a lot of regrets but make sure that any skill you pursue , don't quit . Keep going even if it's hard or difficult .
One thing I found out about myself is: I see the love others feel for me as something to be wary of.
What I mean by this is: sometimes, when my mother (for example) compliments me on something, I give for granted what she says and I fail to give it importance because what my brain tells me is "well of course she's telling you nice things, she's your mother, it's her biological/natural role and purpose to cherish and love you, she's either lying to you because she doesn't want you to suffer, OR, she's sincere, but she's under the influence of love, hence her judgement is unreliable"; when this happens to me I tend to seek validation from the people that hate me, because they're not under the influence of love and therefore I convince myself that only THEIR judgement is to be looked into and believed. What happens though, is that I never find the validation I seek, because it's obviously rare for someone who hates you to compliment you, I myself wouldn't compliment someone I hate, and that is because I either don't see them valuable, OR, I do see them as competent beings, but I rather not let them know that (because I don't wanna do them any good). Despite me knowing that people who hate me are not likely to validate me (because, on the other hand, they're under the influence of HATE), my subconscious still craves that validation from them, and still ignores the kind words I'm given by the ones who love me. Because of this incoherence I often feel ungrateful. Rationally, I know that they mean it, but deep down there's a voice that keeps telling me awful things, and because of that voice I struggle to trust my most conscious/rational part.
I don't want to seek attention by writing this comment, I'm just desperately searching for people who can relate to me, that would make me feel less lonely
Every word that you said, I can relate to.
Especially about that part where you don't believe on compliments from your love-ones.
I think it ties to Imposter Syndrome, and it fits pretty well to me.
Another thing I do, is apologizing for everything, even for things I don't need to. It feels so bad not to apologize, I literally feel my guts twisting from that uncomfortable feeling, and this voice in my head ,,You need to f***** apologize you dumb****"
I don't even trust myself and take serious my thoughts and words. I crave for advice from others, even if it's easiest thing to do.

I have low self esteem and its very painful. Especially when being in public spaces or even around your friends. You feel like you need to be perfect and always let everyone down. And honestly, body language does say it all. I hope that anyone else with low self esteem can help raise it up by talking it out with someone you trust.
But how ?😢
This is so me. I never like how I look. I don’t put much effort in how I look. Whether I put effort in how I look or not I still think and know I am ugly. I get jealous of how other people look. I don’t like seeing other people’s pictures. I don’t believe people when they compliment me. The list goes on. I will never feel good about myself. I get jealous and angry about many things. Angry about other’s achievements.
*Does anyone get confident during the summer and slowly get more self conscious as the school year goes on?*
Yes!!! It’s crazy how that happens. It sometimes (mostly) makes me sooo anxious when summer is over and I can feel my lack of self love taking centre stage. Even during summer, I’m anxious because I feel like a fraud when I’m feeling confident. It’s such a contradiction but it’s happens.
A lot of these do apply to me, and some of them were cemented into me at a very young age (due to being "different" and therefore the target of a significant amount bullying at school, as well as well-intentioned, but seemingly critical - in my mind - parenting). I was told that the bullying was all my own doing. Though I now know that this was probably not the case, the scars are still there. I did slouch too, or at least remember being "criticized" about it.

It's a very crush feeling, the constant thought of 'you're not good enough'. I can't get rid of it no matter what I do
A lot of these apply to me like having the mindset that you are inferior to other people in many aspects, constantly being self conscious in front of others, trying to change the way you want to do things just because you feel others may think of it in a negative or different way, getting bullied (like I kinda get bullied for being thin,etc)

The fact that I clicked on this video to "make sure" just gives it all away...
I did too lol
When they explained every one of them I just felt like I did those
Me too
Which one did you resonate with the most?
@@Psych2go for me it was definitely the nail biting and slouching that was most relatable
I have most of these, I try to better myself in some ways but it just doesn't seem to be enough. I have this strong feeling that being perfect is everything and by simply having that, you'll succeed more and have this lion blood that immensely exerts confidence. I know exactly what I don't like or find appealing about myself, which is why I'm undeniably screwed.
I relate to the things mentioned on this video. I have low self esteem & I'm really self critical. My low self esteem afected me so much that I quit a job early because I thought I was incapable of doing the job and others were better than me. The worst part of having low self esteem for me is how you believe your own negative thoughts about yourself, others and the world and end up feeling depressed. I have hope I will be able to overcome this problem though
The animation and little environment settings for this episode is so cute!
as usual, im sorry if you're seeing this again, i really want this to be a video :D
psych2go, can you make a video on mirror touch synesthesia? i just found the name for it and i've had it for years. it's when someone feels pain or a touch when they see someone else in pain/being touched. i just want awareness for this condition as it's a bit rare.

Honestly this explains myself better than i could
I sometimes come to these videos because it reminds me that I have issues. I've been soooo lost in the dark I don't realize I'm in the dark anymore because every thing I can see is the same. It's like being in pain for so long you just don't feel it anymore, I've been this way for almost 20 years.
I can't afford therapy but I definitely check all the boxes for Dysthymia, regardless I wake up everyday and take my a** to work lol it is what it is.
One day at a time I guess
God bless 🙌🏽 🙏🏽 ❤
I’ve had low self-esteem since I was a child…
It’s definitely gotten worse since, sadly.
“You have bad posture”
me: *sweats in scoliosis*
I hope you’re okay and get that fixed soon :3
I have 5% confidence in myself but i slouch a lot and I care about how others see me :( I could feel pretty when I look in the mirror but when I see others or go out into public I bring myself down and tell myself how horrible and disgusting I look compared to all these other people.
After years of failures it really lowers your self esteem
Me Just Venting:
Here I am, 27 yr old black woman, just now realizing how this low self esteem shit is literally ruining all aspects of my life. I just want to know what it’s like to wake up and be completely content with myself my body and my life. Sometimes I feel like I don’t even want to be here if I can’t be free from the negative thoughts coming from within. I don’t know what to do or how to work on it. People say “just love yourself” but idk how.
I thought that I would've seen atleast 3-4 of these signs in myself, but I turned out seeing all of them in myself ._.
I have a negative self image because my mom makes me feel like I’m not pretty when I’m only 13 and weigh 145 pounds. I also have bad habits like biting my nails. I try to be positive about my body but it’s hard when she scolds me about my portions
Hey I know I'm 9 months late (wow) but I was looking for this comment cuz same! And I’m also a teen My mom has been doing this since I was like 7 yes… SEVEN she confuses me sometimes she calls me pretty and other times she makes me feel like the ugliest kid in the world always talking about me and pointing out every single flaw I have that even I didn’t notice I had until she pointed it out I remember once she said I’m too loud all The time and how I’m super quiet and don’t speak often
I have really course rough short greasy hair and I can’t control it I really can’t I wear a wig cuz she hates it so much her hair is shiny and wavy so she doesn’t understand she gets mad at me for the hair that grows on my head? And I get it from my dad anyways I remember once she was brushing my hair really hard and she said it’s
“Your hair is so short it looks like your dads!”
And that wasn’t a complement my dads hair is pretty bad but not as bad as mine
“I wish you had your brothers hair UGH!”
She’s so disgusted by it I can’t control it should I just Get a perm?
both of my parents criticize my hair what baffles me is my dad has the same hair as me yet treats me like I’m some sort of Alien cuz of my hair now I hate it and I’m gonna shave it all off and wear a wig for the rest of my life my parents don’t realize what they are doing too they think it’s normal idk if that’s how their parents raised them but I know my mom didn’t go through this cuz her parents never criticized her looks idk why she’s doing it to me what did I do to her to make her dislike they way I look so much? I’m her kid anyways…
She also talks about my weight I’m trying to work on it but it’s hard she wouldn’t get it she’s like 90 freaking pounds I weigh about 145 pounds like you she’s also the one shoving food down my throat so it doesn’t make sense
It seems like no matter what she always finds a flaw and points it out and makes me feel bad I remember one time I was 10-11 (actually ten I think) and I wasn’t wearing a bra cuz they are uncomfortable and I was in my house so it didn’t matter and my mom started taking about my Breast who in their right mind tells a KID her breast doesn’t look good and she also said people will stare or whatever who’s gonna stare at my breast??? And why??? I was freaking 10 I was already super insecure about my breast cuz I was 10 I didn’t expect puberty to hit at 10
This was long I’m sorry
"You strive for perfection"
Girl, I can barely sit still for 5 seconds, let alone finish a task and that too with perfection.
The thing is, I don't blame others, but I blame myself too much. Even for stuffs which isn't caused by me, I feel like I have no options other than to blame myself for it...
I literally apologised to someone in Greggs because THEY got my order wrong. I did nothing wrong, and apologised. The woman serving me said "it's not your fault" and all I wanted to do was apologise again.
I don't think I've ever had much self-esteem, but the older I am, the worse it's becoming? I feel like I come across as so passive aggressive to people sometimes because I just panic when it comes to talking to them. I automatically compare myself to them, their abilities, their ease with conversation and making friends. Then I worry that they don't like me, and get all the self-depreciating thoughts about why they definitely shouldn't like me.
I knew the answer: I have no self esteem.
I'm so sorry to hear that. The good news is that you can raise your self-esteem, if you practice self-care and start being kind to yourself in your mind 💛
me before the vid: "yeah I definitely don't have low self esteem, I'm all good!"
me after the vid and finding I relate to every single one of these: "fuuuuu-"
Thank you psych2go for posting this, I just realized that I’m really insecure about myself and I think the number one reason why I feel this way is because of my family. Basically, I don’t look the best physically so when they joke about my appearance, inside, I always feel a pang pain. Even if it was just a joke, in my mind I always think that, ‘Jokes are half meant’ so they must really mean that joke. Even though my classmates compliment me I still feel extremely insecure because my own family doesn’t even think of me that way :,(
I still have low self esteem even after I defeated my sadness. Thats because my low self esteem wasn't because of my sadness, my sadness was because of my low self esteem. And a whole lot more than just that issue. I fixed one issue after it got out of control and I still have 1000 more to go. But its not out of control anymore, so even though I could be happier, I will stop fighting. For now.
Ohh god, that list is endless
Striving for perfection, picking on my skin, downplaying my achievements, bad posture, not knowing how to receive compliments….
i really like the new art.
so cute right :D
Oop “1 day ago” what? ;-;
SkyleeKates Lol you could, but it would ruin the fun
@SkyleeKates sure
Thank you so much!! Would you like to see more of this art style?
You can't lie everyone had low self-esteem before
Agree
Before?
Did you resonate with this video too?
@@Psych2go Yeah
Does anybody go straight to the comments section at the start of a Psych2Go video just to find that one summary kid, because you’re too lazy to watch the whole video on your own?
yup lol
How do you know?
I do have low self-esteem and I am thriving for perfection in my school like my projects, homeworks, seatwork. And I cried in the bathroom because I’m scared to talk to my teachers and I constantly self doubt about myself for not being good enough, for not making doing the things you have to do, I am still crying in my living room alone today. And tomorrow is Monday in my country. And i am scared to tell my teacher that I haven’t discussed with my group members about what to do because I kept thinking I wasn’t good enough
I feel that. I had an essay that was about 30% of my grade and I just didn't do it because my brain bullied itself into a emotional breakdown, saying it "wasn't good enough", "everyone is lying to you about how good you are", "you will never do anything in your life." Ect. Ect.
That's probably why I play so many video games. To make myself, even if it's only for 3 seconds, stop committing mental suicide.
I have had low self esteem my whole life. I am 58 now.different reasins for it with different people. For me I have low education and school and worked labor jobs my whole life. I never tried to advance because it scared me that I couldn't do it, from my lower education I was picked on in school as a kid and had few friends. I have a lot of friends now but the past never truly leaves you. You never forget. Society also puts a standard on people and if you don't measure up then society rejects you as unimportant.
So I thought I had self-esteem but now since I watched this video I realized that I have low self-esteem
Thank you so much for telling us 8 signs about low self-esteem ❤️
I do go to a psychologist so I should probably tell her about this but I literally checked off every single thing in this video not that she probably doesn’t Already know 😅
“You have bad posture”
Me: *sleeps in a ball, walks and diets with a slouch*
Also me: *Hides face*
My self esteem has absolutely crashed this year. Every single day I think and say the most horrible things about myself. I have no love for myself. Whenever I think of myself all I think is how much I hate myself. I always say that I pity the person who falls in love with me.
Biggest one for me is being over apologetic. I apologise for everything. Everything. And feel awkward if I don’t. I just never want others to feel it’s their fault, I’d rather the blame be put on me.
