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. You might find yourself apologizing when things aren’t your fault, or staying in toxic relationships when deep down you know you deserve better. If you suffer from low self-confidence, it permeates every aspect of your life and affects your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
