Rooted in childhood… Parents may unknowingly lower a child’s self-esteem

Like most of our other psychological ailments, this unpleasant problem is also rooted in childhood. Most often, the cause of this condition in a person is the influence of parenting on him. In the case when a child is not given enough love and attention, his self-esteem automatically decreases by several levels. The reason for this is the usualhabit. A person is simply not used to the fact that he can be given as much attention as everyone else. He thinks he doesn't even deserve to be treated like this. He is also accustomed to constant criticism from others and perceives it as always justified, even if in fact it is not. Based on such beliefs, stored in the deepest depths of the human subconscious, a person considers it normal that he is either not paid attention at all as a person, or he is used to being treated with disrespect. From here arise such problems as domestic violence, resignation to the fact that a person can easily be used and there will be nothing for anyone, and all that. Conclusion? Love your children and pay enough attention to them and their achievements, even if they are, at first glance, insignificant for the "adult" world.
Parental "shackles" of childhood

Most children are brought up with the principle "you must do this, you must not do this, and then you will achieve something high, good, better." The kid remembers all such "rules" and after a while integrates the formula of the "correct" life, living according to which, he will become a worthy person and achieve a lot. Just these rules can be called "shackles". Over time, it happens that the growing baby is faced with the opposite effect. That is, following the instructions of his parents, he does not reach the heights promised to him by them. Discrepancy between the plan"ideal plot" and the harsh reality of life gives rise to low self-esteem in a person.
The appearance of the child. Defects that generate complexes and low self-esteem

If a child in childhood (perhaps due to some illness) had any visible defects, or simply his appearance did not match the appearance of other children, this can also cause complexes and low self-esteem. Complexes are provided to a person if his peers often paid attention to any deviations of the child and constantly reminded him of this, ridiculing him. This can not only hurt the child, but also make him feel ashamed of himself. In the case when parents themselves often focus on the defects of their baby, constantly reminding him of this or speaking of it as something negative, abnormal, the child begins to understand that something is wrong with him, and begins to develop complexes.

A sign of low self-esteem is the habit of comparing yourself to others. You must remember if you do this, and if so, how often. How other people treat you will also help determine your self-esteem. A person who respects himself will never allow someone to treat him disrespectfully. You have low self-esteem if you value the opinions of others more than your own.
