What Are Some Causes of Low Self-Esteem?

Low self esteem can start at a very early stage in a persons life or at a later stage in their life.

1. Physical abuse can decrease a person self esteem. Low self esteem can be the result of a persons background if a person has been physically abused and humiliated by the abuser the person may feel bad and worthless.  Insults, name calling, shaming, and public put downs are weapons that an abuser uses to decrease self esteem.
2. Acne can be a problem. People who suffer from acne in some cases have low self esteem, everyone has a desire to have clear skin. A person who has acne whether their skin condition is moderate to severe cases, acne can have an effect on a persons esteem. In some cases people who suffer from acne  withdraw them self from others, they have lack of confidence they are more concerned with the image of how people see them.
3. Hair loss in males and females can cause low self esteem. Males and females between the age 35 to 50 the aging process starts and can bring along hair loss. Hair is one of the most essential features in men and women with the loss of hair it can  in some cases decrease a persons self esteem.  I interviewed some women and they stated their main concern is mostly about their skin, hair,  and weight. The men stated they were more  concerned about  hair boldness and their weight.

Influences from the media, tv, radio, internet press can also cause low self esteem.
