An Issue of Trust: Low Self Esteem and Relationships
Having low self esteem severely cripples a person's ability to interact socially with other people. Low self esteem hinders a person's ability to communicate his or her feelings to those who would care about them.
Low self esteem hinders relationships from reaching their full potential. How, you ask?
It's all a matter of trust. You see, low self esteem is a lack of trust on one's self. Low self esteem is the belittling of one's self. People with low self esteem think small of themselves whether consciously or subconsciously.
There are different scenarios of how low self esteem affects relationships. Here are some of the typical ones: (the scenarios are based on men, but they are also applicable to women, so be advised.)
Scenario one: The overachiever
You've seen them before. They are rich, successful, and oh so gorgeous. They are the billionaire-playboys. No, they are not your typical "mommy and daddy died so I got to inherit all of these" billionaires. They have worked hard to get where they are and they want the world to know it.
A billionaire playboy has lots of cash and is not afraid to use it, seeing as how he has the means to make lots more. He has the latest sports cars, he holds the latest electronic gizmos at the palm of his hand and he changes supermodel girlfriends as frequently as he changes socks. Magazines list him as one of the most eligible bachelors alive.
But why do you think he remains in that issue year after year?
Well, deep inside, that person feels that he is inadequate. You see how his low self esteem affects the relationship, don't you? He thinks that all his partners want from him is his money, and that drives him to do one of two things:
1) Isolate himself from the possibility of pain and change his lover for someone better
2) Focus on his money making and work hard in order to become richer. Through this, he hopes to keep the attraction between him and his love. However, it only serves to isolate his lover and make her feel like a gold digger.
In both cases, low self esteem affects relationships because of the mistrust that covers the heart of the man.
Scenario two: Hopeless romantic
You have seen him often. Sometimes, you watch as he walks on the beach, thinking deeply. Other times you watch his profile as he sits, contemplating the sunset. You see the hopelessness in his eyes as he gazes on the love of his life. You see how he pursues his love and finally, after a lot of effort wins her over.
You find this beautiful which is why you wonder, after a week or two, you see him do the same thing all over again. The hopeless romantic is one of those cases in which the person consciously feels that he does not deserve happiness.
Most people would think that this is another playboy story, but in fact, it is a story of a very sad person who cannot find happiness because he thinks he does not deserve one. Whenever he gets in a relationship, low self esteem causes him to think that the happiness he feels cannot be felt by the one he shares his love with. He feels that he is not enough to make another happy, and so, keeps searching for someone who he can love more than she loves him. Sadly, he never finds it.
