Ten Reasons People Don’t Believe in Themselves Part 1
1) A lack of attachment to parental figures. People with these feelings will say something like: “My parents didn’t support or encourage me. In fact, they made me feel like I wasn’t good enough.”
2) Bad experiences with authority figures like teachers, priests, etc. Usually the person was told, or the impression was given, that the person wouldn’t amount to much.
3) Abuse, both in childhood and/or as adults.
4) An overwhelming feeling that they’re not important. Many people describe a sense of loneliness by saying that nobody cares. They often follow that statement with, “So why should I care about myself?”
5) These people made mistakes in their past and are afraid of being rejected in the present. They believe they have done so many things wrong that no one could ever possibly want to be with them.
