Low self-confidence causes you to feel insignificant, unworthy of love, like a burden to others, or unsure that you can be successful in life.  You might even feel like you deserve to be treated poorly.  Many people with low self-confidence believe false negative thoughts about themselves and have the tendency to disregard positive attributes.  If you are experiencing low self-confidence, you may be experiencing some of the following symptoms:

• Feeling unlovable/unworthy/incompetent

• Mind reading (think that others view you in the same negative way you view yourself)

• Depression

• Fear/Anxiety (of making mistake/being rejected/looking foolish)

• Excessive apologizing

• Needy in relationships

• Poor boundaries

• Lack of assertiveness (passive, aggressive, passive-aggressive)

• Perfectionism

• Irrational/distorted self-statements

• Obsessive-compulsive or addictive behaviors

• Overreacts to situations

• Hypersensitivity
