YOU’RE VERY CRITICAL OF YOURSELF

YOU’RE QUICK TO BLAME YOURSELF

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE CONTROL
Everything in your life seems outside your control because you look at yourself as someone with very little ability to impact change.
YOU SAY “I’M SORRY” A LOT
If you feel terrified at the idea of causing inconvenience, it likely comes from a place where you believe you are more trouble than you’re worth.
YOU FEEL UNWORTHY OF GOOD EXPERIENCES

YOU HAVE TROUBLE ACCEPTING POSITIVE FEEDBACK
Positive feedback is often met with suspicion and distrust. Complimentary words do not align with their beliefs about themselves, so people with self-esteem issues may feel that the other person is being flippant or even cruel.
