5 signs you have a low sense of self-worth

(No fear if you do, read to the end)

We are all born 100% Worthy, note that your actual Worth is not up for discussion here. However, various factors can impact our sense of self worth, i.e. how connected and believing of that Worth we are. Here are 5 signs that your self-worth may have been impacted and be a little on the more shaky side.

(If you resonate with any of these, please know that you are NOT alone and this is by no means the end point in your self-worth journey. Make sure you read until the end).

5 signs of a low sense of Self-Worth:

1. You worry about what others think, way too much.

Tending to worry about what others think of you puts your power and Worth in the hands of others. Those who are solid in their sense of self are able to anchor into their own knowing and self trust, rather than needing this validation from the external world.

2. You are a People Pleaser

Trying excessively to please others, comes from a need to be liked in order to feel good or Worthy, or a strong fear of disapproval or rejection. When you’re anchored into your own Worth, people’s perception of you has less impact, as at your core you know you are more than OK.

3. You suffer from Perfectionism

Trying to always do things perfectly, to a point that it hinders action, is linked to needing to put a perfect, manicured face to the world - to the extent it is no longer your authentic expression. Worthy You knows that your messy, less perfect but authentic self is full of value as it is. Actually, that’s where much of the gold is - in your unique and true self. 

4. You don’t have a strong Sense of Self

Not knowing yourself fully and what you desire, need and stand for, often arises because you’ve spent your life prioritising others and putting others on a pedestal. When you know you are Worthy, you make space for your own authenticity and needs to arise, unfold and be known, as you understand they are important.

5. You are highly sensitive to rejection

When we experience “rejection”, we can either understand it as a misalignment with no personal meaning  - i.e. more of a mutual redirection - or, if our opinion of ourself is low, we can make it reconfirm our self-perceived unworthiness, making it extremely painful and hard for us to bear.

Do you resonate with any of these? No fear if so, some time ago I would have said yes to almost all of these.

The important thing to remember is that we are all born WORTHY.

If you resonate with these signs, it doesn’t mean you are not innately worthy (you are!), it means you have difficulty connecting to and embodying that truth. This is often due to childhood experiences that impacted how you made sense of the world and viewed yourself, creating beliefs and foundations that have remained with you into adulthood.

It is possible to heal your past and come back to connection with your full Worthy Self. It may take some work, deep excavation and dedication, but trust me, once you start to embody that truth, your life will truly begin.
