Is it normal that i have such low self esteem?

My entire life I never had any self confidence or self worth. Is this normal by any means?

  • Not normal, but common. Not everyone has the privilege of learning those qualities from their environment, but you absolutely can develop them on your own.

  • Our ego is most fragile in early teen years. That happens to also be when our peers do whatever they can to ruin each other's self esteem.

  • I have had issues with self esteem and still do. And many people I know have had this too. But you can improve and learn.

  • I sometimes wonder how much is genetic and how much comes from environmental things like parents/friends. I'm trying to build my son's confidence up.

    • It's more genetic than people think, I would argue. Just the family environment your born into matters a ton and you could argue that's "genetic" or at least nature not nurture.
