Video Summary:
Self-esteem is pivotal to determining success in life and relationships. Those suffering from low self-esteem tend to struggle more to find success and happiness in their endeavors. They may see themselves as victims, and are more often victimized, emotionally and / or physically. They may abuse themselves via self-destructive behavior or negative addictions. They often suffer from dysfunctional relationships. Low self-esteem can be displayed by feeling unable to control or correct circumstances in one’s own life. Another common symptom is not valuing oneself, feeling unworthy or unlovable.

What are the elements of self-esteem? How are those elements related to the overlapping concepts of self-efficacy and self-respect? What causes low self-esteem and how does one’s self-image contribute to it?

For those who suffer from low self-esteem, improving it is crucial to feeling empowered in virtually any aspect of their lives. The first step is typically to identify what triggered these internalized feelings, then proceed to awareness and understanding. Stomping out the irrational, limiting beliefs makes way for more logical ones. Low self-esteem need not be permanent. Correcting it can be an arduous process, but well worth the effort.

But in his later videos he says that the key to being happy is LOSING the self. Because the sense of self is just an illusion. So now I'm so confused because if the sense of SELF is just an illusion, then why would you even try to acknowledge something that doesn't exist?

Alexander Alaric says:

I sometimes pretend to have low self esteem because I don't want to be rude. It's really weird. Does anyone else have that or a similar problem?

Hi. Thank you for posting this video on self esteem. In a Respectful and manly way…*deep hugs*. I really needed to hear the message of this video. I'm on a mission to explore the possibility of my existence. Meaning, I know I have more to offer than what I'm currently offering myself and the world. I believe examining my self esteem and making correct associations will forward my goals. Thank You.

I am a girl who struggles with horrible low self esteem. It is so low that I can't even talk to people without feeling their probably making fun of me in their minds.

I often feel depressed sometimes and there are times where I just want to die or disappear. These are feelings I can't seem to make go away. No matter how hard my parents or family say otherwise.
