How do you relate both things?

Do you see any direct or indirect effect of your self esteem on the decision that you make for your & others actions?

In my case,I feel an urge to improve my self esteem whenever has to follow the decision made by someone else (decision which is not agreed to me)

What does your self esteem have to do with decisions others make that you don't agree with?

Other's decisions which makes YOU work without proper alignment,do not bother you?

In above situation,I feel I'm not sufficiently armed with self esteem as I couldn't resist or deny him/her.

My self esteem cannot handle this...*equally confused*

What kind of decisions are you talking about? Can you give an example?

well if he feels insecure then it plays a big apart of his self esteem right? cause maybe that decision being made can affect in his mind that it will hurt his self esteem on feeling inferior that he could not make that decision first or figure that decision out and his self esteem is affected :)

I'm not sure the two are related. My self-esteem, won't be required for which house i live in next. My decision making, is based on wanting stuff. (?)

yes my friend it can play a big part in self esteem if you let it, by feeling inferior to the other person or feel that your decision is not right and that can cause a big lack of self esteem so what you need to do is be positive and believe your decision is better and stick to it and feel good about your self for making it and remember you made that decision and no 1 else did so feel proud of your self see no 1 is perfect and people learn from mistakes :) cheers even if your decision don't work you tried right? before others did :) and always be positive :)

so if you have no self esteem to buy the house then what? lolllllll guess if you don't lack the self esteem you can make that decision fast right? they work together big time cheers

For example,

1. In your office without taking you in confidence you are being asked to do something which is not correct in your opinion

2. In your friends group something is decided that includes you in action excluding you while deciding

3. Something in your authority is being decided by someone else ( bypassing you)

I'm sure,In the case you considered,those are not at all related.

1. If I think it is wrong, I will let them know. If it's still an issue, I'll bring it up to a manager.

2. If I want to do what they've decided to do, I will. If I don't, I won't.

3. Such as what?

All of these involve communication.

You joker,

Nope far from normal, my friend.
But the small amount of time,I get here,brings me much peace and warmth.
Nice to see you ((pras)Namaste

Low Self Esteem Signs

Low self esteem signs are not always easy to recognize. This is probably due to the fact that low self esteem is so subtle and so deeply impregnated in our subconscious, that the connection between our self worth and our behavior can be hard to evaluate.

Our behavior and actions are always in accordance with our self beliefs or self image

Therefore, looking at how we act and express ourselves can give us a pretty good idea of where our self esteem stand.

So let's look at some behavior patterns that could be translate as symptoms of low self esteem.

* Always doubting yourself and a can't do attitude.
People with low self esteem have trouble to make decisions, they fear changes, challenges and the unknown because they have little faith in themselves.
*

Cannot handle criticisms, overreacting and taking it personally.
"It is a well-known psychological fact that the people who become offended the easiest, have the lowest self-esteem." ~ Dr Maxwell Maltz
*

Being suspicious and jealous in your relationships.
If you don't believe you are worth to be with, you will end up doubting others and their intentions
*

Can't take a compliment or a praise.
You are so used to diminish yourself that you will brush away a praise by thinking something like "I got lucky", "they don't know I'm a fake" or "he just loves me" but rarely "thank you for the compliment, I actually feel good about myself"
*

Being dependant of others and not taking your responsibilities.
You expect others to look after you and your businesses.
*

Lack of assertiveness.
Being assertive means speaking up for yourself, giving your opinion and your view simply and effectively. When plagued with low self esteem, you will rather mumble and whine to yourself than risk a confrontation.
*

Shyness
*

Feeling like a failure or inferior in comparison of others.
*

Never happy with your look.
*

Feeling depressed and/or anxious especially,
o when changes and/or challenges arise.
o after failing
o after being criticised

These are a few low self esteem signs, there are more to add to this list but you can start to get a good idea of the importance of your self image in your life although these symptoms cannot be attributed exclusively to low self esteem as there are so many factors that can cause jealousy or depression for example. so self esteem plays a huge part of life and decisions:)

Cheer_Up,I must adore your understanding.

He got it from a book ;)

Namaste 2KM,Don't worry,everything will be normal soon.
