The effects of a low self-esteem can create a vicious cycle of poor performance, distorted view of self and others, unhappy personal life, and/or a lack of self-confidence.
DISTORTED VIEW OF SELF AND OTHERS
Some people won't give themselves credit for their
accomplishments. These people may think others look
better in comparison. They may also believe that
things just happen to them...that they don't make
them happen.
UNHAPPY PERSONAL LIFE
Negative people aren't fun to be around. People
with low self-esteem find it hard to develop
close relationships. The result may be a lonesome
and unhappy personal life.
LACK OF SELF-CONFIDENCE
People with low self-esteem often have little
confidence in their abilities. They may think they're
doomed to fail again because they failed before.
