Is it true that many social problems is caused by low self esteem?
Answer:
That is a VERY good question. I was discussing something similar with a coworker today. It seems that one of our friends has a low self esteem issue.
She is indeed making UP social problems that don't exist or taking small things and making a huge deal out of them. It may be that they tend to make it more public than someone who is fairly secure with themselves.
So in a sense, you're probably right! You could be on to something.!
I'm certain that in my own case that is true.
I was made to feel that I was not as good as my baby brother, not as good as my Jewish friends in school, my Catholic friends in the neighborhood, my German-decendant friends in my church, etc. as a very young child. I have had problems with anxiety and depression all my life, and cannot function properly in group settings.
Yes, it's true since you don't believe in your self-worth and to talk for myself, there is a 'marry-go-round' of problems in my social circle whenever I feel inadequate and it torments.
I think that could be very possible. Low self esteem causes so many problems in our society; it can lead to drug and alcohol abuse, which in turn leads to many other social issues.
