Limiting beliefs are the beliefs you hold to be true about who you are that limit the development of your physical, emotional, financial, intellectual and spiritual potential.
There is a close relationship between limiting beliefs and low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is like a parasite that survives by feeding off the energy you supply to your limiting beliefs .
Self-esteem is the view and opinion you have about yourself that affects your confidence, vitality and self-expression. Self-esteem is good when it is high self-esteem and is embodied by someone with confidence, emotional balance, high achievement, positive energy , well presented, forward thinking and eloquence. Low self-esteem by contrast is reflected in a person’s low or negative opinion of themselves and their value to the world
There are many signs of low self-esteem, and the list seems to grow every day. However, some of the signs are quite subtle. They don’t stand out as much as others. If you know someone who exhibits these, or who you suspect has self-esteem issues, look for some of the signs. Amongst the many signs, three of the signs that can be connected to low self-esteem are as follows.
1. THEY TEND TO BE MORE HOSTILE: You’d think that a person with low self-esteem wouldn’t fight back- that they would concur with anyone’s low opinion of them and therefore not resist any put-down. While this can be true, it can also cause the person to snap at others. They can become aggressively angry and super hostile unnecessarily in situations where it isn’t called for. With all this being said, it should make it easier to identify those with self-esteem issues. Remember that they have issues with how other people think of them, so gentle encouragement is exactly what you’ll need to provide in order to help them. Be there for them and eventually they’ll come around to realizing that they have people who love and care about them!
2. THEY TEND TO BE MORE PICKY: When people have low self-esteem, at times they show it in peculiar, obsessive ways. One troubling habit is the tendency of picking. What’s meant by that is that they despise blemishes. They pick at hairs and scabs like it’s nobody’s business. That way they have an excuse to focus on something other than their own insecurities.
3. THEY FOCUS TOO MUCH ON WHAT OTHERS THINK: Those with low self-esteem are quite terrified of and dependent on what other people think about them. They begin to assume that the negative thoughts they are having about themselves are the way others think. They question their own value, and use others as portals for their insecurities. If someone you know has a tendency to say things like, “I just feel like I was annoying everyone tonight”, they probably have an issue with their self-esteem.
