what low-esteem can look like…
struggling to make decisions - and trusting those decisions
caring more what others think than what you know
getting very anxious before/during social situations
finding it hard to assert your needs and wants
always comparing yourself with others
speaking harshly to yourself
finding it hard to figure out what you want to do; feeling a sense of aimlessness
doubting your competency in spite of experience
considering joy to be an aberration rather than a birthright
getting easily stressed and overwhelmed
agreeing with others rather than saying what you believe
repeating bad habits even though you know they’re bad for you
getting lost in negative thought spirals easily
feeling life happens to you rather than with you
