KARAKAYA PSYCHOLOGY

The psychological basis of self-esteem issues is often linked to experiences during childhood and adolescence. For example, a child who is constantly criticized, neglected, humiliated, or rejected may tend to have self-esteem issues in adulthood. Additionally, negative social encounters, experiences of failure, pressures to conform to societal norms, and comparisons can also trigger self-esteem problems.

Self-esteem issues can be experienced in specific areas or generally. An individual may feel a lack of self-confidence in their work life, relationships, social settings, or personal goals. This can manifest as behaviors such as avoidance of taking risks, constant seeking of others’ approval, hypersensitivity to criticism, perfectionism, and social withdrawal.

Self-esteem issues generally negatively affect a person's quality of life. The individual may not find the courage and belief necessary to realize their potential, may continually feel worthless or inadequate, and may face difficulties in social relationships. However, with appropriate therapy, personal development efforts, and supportive relationships, self-esteem issues can be overcome, and an individual's belief and confidence in themselves can be enhanced.

In conclusion, self-esteem issues refer to an individual's internal uncertainty, doubt, or feelings of inadequacy regarding their abilities, value, or self-confidence. These issues are often associated with experiences during childhood and adolescence and can be experienced in specific areas or generally. However, with the right therapy and support, self-esteem issues can be overcome, and an individual's belief and confidence in themselves can be enhanced.
