Answer:

Typically, a person with low self-esteem:

1. Is extremely critical of themselves.

2. Downplays or ignores their positive qualities.

3. Judges themselves to be inferior to their peers.

4. Uses negative words to describe themselves.

5. Has discussions with themselves (this is called ‘self talk’) that are always negative, critical and self blaming.

6. Assumes that luck plays a large role in all their achievements and doesn’t take the credit for them.

7. Blames themselves when things go wrong instead of taking into account other things over which they have no control such as the actions of other people or economic forces.

8. Doesn’t believe a person who compliments them.
