Struggling with low self-esteem is never easy, but it can be particularly difficult for young adult women during a time in their lives when they are exploring who they are and who they want to be in the world around them.

What Does Low Self-Esteem Look Like?

Issues with low self-esteem can present themselves in a variety of ways. People with low self tend to be anxious to please others to avoid conflict, uncomfortable feelings, or attention drawn to their perceived “imperfections.” This may look like:

• Difficulty communicating needs

• Negative self-talk

• Deep fear of criticism

• Avoiding challenges and new experiences

• Feelings of worthlessness or inadequacy

• Excessive self-doubt

• Overreliance on substances in social situations

• Feeling overly self-conscious

• Poor body image

• Anxiety 

• Depression

If you’re experiencing any of these and find yourself frequently worrying about what others think of you, how you measure up against your peers, or ways you can “perform” to receive praise or validation, it might be time to seek help to strengthen your self-confidence.
