Why do I have self-esteem issues?

My doctor said that the reason that I have self-esteem issues is because my dad is bad to me. Sure he calls me bad names sometimes but what about the friends that have abused me? What about the people at school that are harassing me? And more importantly, what about the friend who blocked me and insulted my celeb crushes (all except Mike Shinoda, but mostly one person) JUST so she could hurt me? I mean I do consider myself a loser and that is the reason that this is happening to me, but is my dad really the main reason? I dont think so

Well,It Depends how old you are. If your 13 or 14 This would be normal. a lot of kids Get low self - esteem Issues. Just by what you see on TV Can even bring you down. But at your age is where your emotions and hormones,even your brain,starts to change.

Answer #2

It definitely seems that these outside factors have slowly ripped at your self esteem, so I agree with you there. but I also agree with your doctor that your father may be the central reason as to why you are not in a good place right now. Mothers and fathers are key figures in anyones life. We look to parents as role models and as a reflection of our own self identity since they created us. Plus, if you are with your father everyday, he is more affective. its very difficult sometimes to realize that the central figures of our lives our not as great or as wonderful as they could be or that they have hurt us in some way. I think you should keep an openmind to what your doctor said and observe for a while.
