Why do some women have low self esteem
Abusive experiences in the past lower a woman's self esteem. Many women also suffer from verbal abuse, and that tends to hurt them far more than any physical act.
It's not good to have low self esteem
- Poor self esteem often results in bad health, depression and anxiety.
- Relationships are also impacted due to low self esteem.
- In the workplace also, women with low self-esteem tend to be by themselves and do not take credit for their accomplishments, or let others take credit for their work. They hardly move up.
- A woman with low self-esteem has no control over her life.
All this can change. Women can get help and emotional healing. If something bad has happened to you, it does not mean there is something wrong with you. The responsibility for the abuse lies with the person who has hurt you. Forget the past and think positively.
Make your own identity. Believe in yourself. Become the most confident, successful and inspired woman you can be.
