9 Signs of Low Self-Worth

Self-worth is a crucial component of our mental health and overall well-being. However, many people struggle with low self-worth without realizing it. Instagram user @georgiethenaturopath shares nine signs that might indicate you're dealing with low self-worth:

• You have difficulty tolerating negative or constructive feedback.
• You experience a strong critical inner dialogue with yourself, e.g., "I'm so stupid."
• You're often using self-deprecating humor and putting yourself down as a "joke."
• You're quick to put other people on a pedestal.
• You'll often take on the blame for things gone wrong.
• You ignore your achievements or discount them as "luck."
• You're often focused on your negative attributes or what you haven't done.
• You allow people to take much more than they give to you.
• You often feel worthless, angry, or anxious.

Recognizing these signs is the first step towards improving your self-worth. If you find yourself identifying with several of these points, it may be helpful to speak with a mental health professional or trusted friend. Remember, everyone has inherent worth, and with time and effort, it's possible to build a healthier sense of self-esteem.
