It is, however, most important to understand that experiencing any of these early circumstances doesn\u2019t mean you must be bound by them as an adult. They will be woven into your fabric and absorbed into your sense of yourself in different ways over time, but there are many paths to feeling that you are better prepared, less fragmented, and more confident moving forward. As an adult, when you examine your history, you can begin to see that in some cases the derision or intense negative messages you encountered weren\u2019t necessarily meant for you. Rather, they flowed from the circumstances of the people who delivered them. That perspective can help you to dilute the power of the negative messages about yourself you received and formed. Furthermore, understanding that you are not alone in your experience can help decrease the extent to which you feel isolated and shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>donotdestroy: 10 Sources of Low Self-Esteem \u201cOf course, each of &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[5971,655,1367,9721,1235,752,5548,3112,741,12259,7449,685,652,4580,731,732,705,638,340,704,3,617,2984,3683,2657,2255,4899],"class_list":["post-10616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-anxiety","tag-artist","tag-awareness","tag-confidence","tag-consciousness","tag-creative","tag-failure","tag-fear","tag-influencer","tag-inscure","tag-insecurity","tag-love","tag-low-self-esteem","tag-mental","tag-mental-health","tag-mental-illness","tag-mind","tag-money","tag-peace","tag-psychology","tag-quote-of-the-day","tag-quotes","tag-self-awareness","tag-self-conscious","tag-self-esteem","tag-self-realization","tag-success"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
