Self Esteem

Self Love

What causes low self-esteem?

✍🏻 Romantic Pursuits - I trace back my low esteem to middle school where I pursued girls who had no interest in me. You realize that there is a dating economy and that all your parents love doesn’t make up for the fact that you don’t sit at the popular kids table. The thing is even if you got a romantic partner in middle school, there would/will come a time where you weren’t able to date who you want, which would make you painfully aware of how you’re not enough.

✍🏻 Being Involved in Social Hierarchies - Human beings naturally form hierarchies. This is actually beneficial and completely necessary for society to function. That being said, being involved in hierarchies attacks our self-esteem because it shows us that other people have more valuable positions than we have

✍🏻 Weak Frame - Having a weak frame of reality is the cause for low self esteem. A weak frame means that you are always supplicating to others beliefs in conversation. Constantly supplicating tells yourself that what you believe isn’t as important as what they have to say. If you disagree with someone, have the courage to say I disagree, it doesn’t mean that you’re right, but it will increase your self esteem.

✍🏻 Not Dressing Swag, Lookin Fresh and Working Out - Fashion matters in how you view yourself, billions of dollars are spent so that is the case, rather than fight it, dress cool and trendy. Hygiene also impacts our self esteem, if you know you smell bad or have bad teeth it’s harder to believe you are awesome. Same with working out, the closer you are to your ideal the easier it is to self validate.

✍🏻 Comparison Frame - When you compare yourself to someone else you are giving yourself permission to believe that you are lesser than the people around you. You are a statistically impossible event, your value doesn’t come from what you do or who you are, it comes from the fact that you exist.
