Content: Ongoing support from loved ones is also an important factor. While it’s important to remember that you alone cannot change another person’s self-esteem, there are ways you can help someone with low self-esteem. Keep in mind that self-esteem, self-image and self-confidence are complicated concepts, and it may be difficult to understand your friend’s low view of themselves. 1. Recognize Their Feelings
When talking to someone with low self-esteem, your natural impulse is probably to counter or deny negative things they say about themselves or the world. If your friend says something like “I’m good for nothing, no one likes me,” you probably want to say “That’s not true! You’re a great person, all of our friends love you!” Though this compliment may seem helpful, it’s unlikely that your friend with low self-esteem will believe it, even if you have been friends for a long time. Since your friend holds a low opinion of themselves, contradictory opinions, even though they are positive, create cognitive dissonance, an uncomfortable situation where reality doesn’t seem to match a person’s beliefs. This can cause them to gradually distance themselves from friends and seek out people who treat them badly.
