Do you think low self esteem could posssibly be a disease or embedded in your genetic make up??


Question: I know this is an ironic question. But, I truly believe that some people can't gain self-esteem. It is some how embedded in them to have no confidence within themselves. No matter how hard some people work to improve their confidence, it never works. I also do not believe low self-esteem is intertwined with depression. Some people have low self esteem and don't suffer from depression. What are your thoughts? NO RUDE ANSWERS PLEASE! Thank You in advance!
Answers: when people really want something in life they get it by really working hard and wanting it bad enough. if you have problems with self esteem its probably because you don't love yourself. you don't want it bad enough to change it. you have to help yourself and stop wasting your time on why can't I be like this or do this? and just do it. Really believe in yourself and I'm sure you will succeed.
no, but stupidity clearly runs rampant in your genetic make up.
i dont think its genetic or a disease but some people are just born with it .it's personality.low self esteem is part of a persons personality.that my opinion anyway.
It is all about belief. If you believe that no matter how hard you work on something and that it never works, i.e. self esteem then that is what you will get, that it will never work.

My belief is that self esteem is the responsibility of the individual. To work on all of the unconscious triggers that tell them that they are not good enough or feel somehow that their input won't be taken seriously. The younger you get to that person the better, because habits become a part of your personality.

It is not an overnight process, just like an addict who has to quit... They say, I've tried everything and it never worked.

However, when you delve deeper into the person's life style, habits, and past track record, they will reveal to you that they haven't tried everything and that they want the world to bend for them instead of the other way around. They play the blame game.

I love this saying from success coach Jim Rohn, In order for things to change; You have to change.

So, assuming the responsibility is on the individuals shoulders, the question would be this. If someone with low self esteem wants to get over it, what is it that they are willing to sacrifice to achieve good self esteem?

In conclusion, its not that they can't gain self esteem. They simply have alibis (excuses) to keep from improving themselves because the pay off of feeling low is like a craving for them, like craving chocolate... It may not be good for you, but you eat it anyway because it keeps you from taking action to change your life.

I believe fear of change is holding the person back who has low self esteem. That fear could either be grief or loss that they must face, but they refuse to deal with it in order to move on.
I don't think low self esteem is a disease or embedded in your genetic make-up. I believe it is from how others have treated you. In essence, it is a psychological reaction.
Judgement is all around us. We re constantly judged, insulted, envied or something. Its easy to say not to listen to others, but if its all that u got ppl like these u cant hide from it and if ur weak it will get to u. I personnaly have great friends so im able not to care what ppl say. WHen im sad i just tell myself that its for a stupid reason and laugh about it. some ppl just give up or cant handle it because of some kind of pressure they have.
o yea i think its both its a disease because u started to believe what other people say about u and that ur ugly and when u look in the mirror u c what they say is wrong with u and really there is nothing i just think other people want to hurt others before u can hurt them. and i also think its in genetic make up because if ur mom is bi-polar then the child could be and if the mother or father was mental problem o yea i believe it can be both big time i don't like my self very much and i believe its both because i hear my mom put her self down and then i do it and she tells me to stop am fine but i don't fell that way.
