Self Esteem and Anger
Overcoming Low Self Esteem
People with low self esteem often have lots of anger, as well. They are angry with themselves (for not doing better or being better) and with others (who don’t live up to their expectations).It’s important to note that we develop self esteem early in life. And our self esteem is largely formed by what we think others think of us. People with a low opinion of themselves often feel that they are down on their luck and that others don’t think highly of them. They don’t do well as they could, in their jobs or in relationships--because they don’t expect to do well.
