NEGATIVE FACTORS THAT AFFECT SELF-CONFIDENCE

Self-hate

This can be referring to hatred directed against oneself or one's people. Sometimes we may hate ourselves. This might be because we may have failed once in life and thus think that we are failures in life. The world or people around you might be looking upon you but ended up making a mistake that lost hope in you. Thus, this leads to negatively affecting your self-confidence.

Perfectionism

This is the demand for the highest standard of excellence. Most failures do happen due to expecting that, everything that you want it to be perfect. This may lead to having the mentality that whatever you are doing isn’t quite good enough.

Better others

At times we may think that the other people are better than us and that we are valueless. We may have the thought that other people can do something then we can. That hinders us more and thus leading to us having low self-confidence. We forget that we all have different talents and each has his or her missions and visions.

Oversensitive

Oversensitive is the trait that lets you become overly affected by an external influence that can hardly affect ordinary people. By listening to what people are saying, may lead to one having low self-confidence. They might be correct, or it might be propaganda, but it should not shutter one's goals or dreams. Criticism is there, but you ought to have less concern about it and set it as a pillar to putting more effort into whatever you are doing.

Self-Deprecating Humor

Sometimes funny, but occasionally overused fishing for compliments, is a signal of low self-esteem. Every person makes fun to himself or herself. One makes funny compliments that touch the weak side of one. It may end up seeming as if it’s a prophecy, and it may affect your self-confidence negatively. You may also end up believing in it.

Media

We are more into media doing researches and at one point, or the other we may end up coming across some advertisements that discriminate us. A good example is about women, and we may come across an ad advertising the makeups. There is always that good-looking lady that has applied the product. The underlying message is that you must purchase this product to be beautiful, to have others like you and accept you, and to be blissful. But we forget that the ladies involved in the advert are models. Instead, we should allow ourselves the way we are since we are from different backgrounds, and we have different perspectives in life too.

Fear

This is the unpleasant emotional state consisting of psychological and psychophysiological responses to a real external threat. Most of us do have the fear to try out things. Fearful is one of the causes of low self-confidence. For one to have high confidence, one must be courageous and have self-courage in doing things. Most of the people also think that taking risks always leads to losses, but they do forget that might be the lucky field that they are missing or depend on luck to try on it.
