Self-Esteem

Seven Causes of Poor Self-Image:

1. We live in a society that is often negative. 

2. A person's ability, appearance, and intelligence has been ridiculed or questioned repeatedly by parents, teachers, friends or others in authority. 

3. A tendency to confuse failure in a project with failure in life. 

4. An untrained memory. 

5. Unrealistic and unfair comparing of experiences.  

6. Comparing your worst features to someone else's best features.  

7. Setting standards of perfection that are unrealistic and unreachable.
