Why Do People With Low Self-Esteem Have More Arguments With Their Partners?

Do you argue a lot with your partner? If so, chances are high that you (or your partner or both) have low self-esteem.

There are several reasons as to why people with low self-esteem find themselves involved in more arguments with their partners compared to people with high self-esteem. First of all, people attract others who view them in the same way as they view themselves. This means that people with low self-esteem attract people who consider them equally negatively as they do themselves. As sad as it may sound, this means that people with low self-esteem will never be loved to the same extent as people with high self-esteem. A lack of love might be one of the reasons to why arguments pop up more often for people with low self-esteem.

People with low self-esteem view themselves in a very negative light, and they therefore assume that others think equally negatively about them. They assume that their partners don’t really love them, and they anticipate problems to arise in the relationship. At the same time, people with low self-esteem are afraid of being left alone. They therefore have to do all they can to protect themselves against being dumped. In order to protect yourself from something you first have to find it. For this reason people with low self-esteem are constantly searching for problems. The more you look for something, the more you find it. People with low self-esteem are very good at finding problems with their relationships and they are therefore very good at finding something to argue about.

Although people with low self-esteem are constantly searching for problems, they are actually not very good at coping with them once they arise. When a problem in the relationship arises, a person with high self-esteem would attribute the cause to specific, external and unstable causes. If his girlfriend doesn’t come home at the time she said she would, he might for example assume that she got stuck in a traffic jam. In other words, the cause of her delay is specific to this occasion (she’s not a late person in general), external because it was a traffic jam (rather than something inside him or her that they could have controlled) and unstable because the traffic jam was temporary and there will not be a traffic jam every day. Instead, a person with low self-esteem will attribute the causes of problems to global, internal and stable reasons, such as she will always come home late because she doesn’t love me beacuse I’m such a lousy person. In this way, people with low self-esteem read too much into relatively small problems. They perceive even small issues as threats.

In order to make the prospect of being dumped less frightening, people with low self-esteem try to find faults in their partners. Being dumped by a person with lots of bad qualities is less frightening than being dumped by a person who is flawless. People with low self-esteem are therefore experts at finding flaws in their partners. This creates lots of opportunities for arguments. Nobody wants to have his or her faults being pointed out ever so often, and everyone would probably get angry if their partners were constantly complaining about them.

By now, you might have understood that low self-esteem is not very good for creating happy relationships. If you really want to have a lasting and fulfilling relationship, the best you can do is to raise your self-esteem.

Question by DQV90: How do people usually feel or treat people with low self esteem?
Also, do you have low or high self esteem?

Best answer:

Answer by Apple Tart
People with low self esteem tend to treat themselves badly, not care too much about their appearance, or dress in a way to grab attention. We treat people the way they present themselves. If you don’t appear to care about yourself and are sloppy and put yourself down a lot, I probably will not take the time to get to know you. I will treat you with resepect because you are a fellow human being, but I probably won’t find you interesting. I have high self esteem although I had to learn that. I used to have low self esteem until I woke up one day and decided that the problem with the way people treated me was the way I was treating myself.

Traits of People with Low Self-esteem

As a self-esteem coach I have started to notice some traits that most people with low self-esteem have in common. Read this list and see if you recognise yourself in any of these traits! If you do, it might be a good time to start to raise your self-esteem!

Body language. People with low self-esteem often look as if they are trying to make themselves as small as possible. Their back is bent and they cross their arms and legs in front of them. The opposite can also be found in some low self-esteem people. They spread themselves out as if trying to take as much space as possible, and they try to grab as much attention as possible with their voices. The low self-esteem people strategy is therefore either to try to be invisible or to be as big as possible to compensate for the littleness that they feel inside.

Eyes. People with low self-esteem feel that they are not good enough, and because of this feeling of inferiority they don’t usually look people in their eyes as often as people with high self-esteem do.

Health. You cannot see on a person’s body whether he or she has a low self-esteem. Some people with low self-esteem are body builders and others are couch potatoes. However, most people with low self-esteem are doing something that is bad for their health. Some people over-exercise in order to use their bodies to make up for how insufficient they feel on the inside. Their strategy is to make themselves so good-looking that other people will adore them despite the the horrible personalities that they believe themselves to have. Other people over-eat or over-work or do something else that is bad for their health. Unconsciously they “know” that they are not important and that there therefore wouldn’t be any point in taking care of their health.

Showing emotions. Although some people with high self-esteem are also bad at being open with their emotions, people with low self-esteem are more often bad at this. They feel uncomfortable with their feelings and they think that they are silly or stupid to feel as they do. Instead of showing their real emotions, they pretend to be someone they are not. They may put up a constant smile or a specific attitude. People with high self-esteem on the other hand know that they are good enough regardless of their emotions, and they therefore often find it easier to being open about how they are feeling.

Treatment of others. Some people with low self-esteem are bullies. They try to push others down to raise themselves up. Other low self-esteem individuals are overly nice towards others in an attempt to gain others’ acceptance. The third type are always nice and polite to others who are present but then talk badly about them behind their back. This is a mix of the other two strategies: they try to get others to like them while also making themselves look better by pushing others down.

 If you recognise yourself in any of these five behaviours I suggest that you raise your self-esteem NOW!  Get your personal self-esteem coach!

10 Habits of People with Low Self-Esteem

People with low self-esteem have certain bad habits in common. By avoiding to fall into the same habits, you can optimize your chances for keeping your self-esteem high.

 Here are 10 of the habits that many people with low self-esteem share:

People with low self-esteem miss opportunities that arise in their lives. Because they are afraid of failure, they don’t dare to take risks. If you don’t dare to take risks and step out of your comfort zone, you will also miss out on many opportunities that arise.

People with low self-esteem are jealous. Because they expect others to feel about them in the same negative way as they feel about themselves, they cannot believe that anyone can truly love them. Consequently, they always expect to be dumped by their partners, and in order to avoid this from happening they keep their eyes open for signs that it is indeed about to happen. As a result they are overly suspicious whenever their partners spend time with people of the opposite or behave in ways that can be interpreted as that they do not love their low self-esteem partners.

People with low self-esteem are anxious. People with low self-esteem are worried that their colleagues and friends will one day discover who they really are. People with low self-esteem don’t dare to be themselves, and because they are pretending to be somebody they are not, they are constantly anxious that their true nature with be found out.

People with low self-esteem try to defend themselves. For example, many people with low self-esteem react in a very aggressive way whenever they receive negative feedback. Because they don’t feel good enough they try to lift themselves up by pressing others down. It may go as far as blaming others for mistakes that they are responsible for.

People with low self-esteem back-talk. In an (often unconscious) attempt to make themselves look better, people with low self-esteem talk negatively about others behind their back. This has negative consequences, not only for the person who was spoken about, but also for the listeners and the speaker.

People with low self-esteem are experts at finding faults in others. People with low self-esteem feel better when they can see faults in the people around them. Therefore, they are experts at finding negative qualities in others. By looking for and finding faults in others, their liking of these people decrease. People with low self-esteem like other people less than people with high self-esteem

People with low self-esteem have unhealthy lifestyles. In order to take good care of your health, you need to believe that you are important enough to be taken care of. People with low self-esteem don’t feel important and therefore don’t see any point in taking care of their health.

People with low self-esteem listen to media with negative messages. Rather than brainwashing themselves with positive messages, people with low self-esteem watch soap operas and films that make them feel like they are not good enough, read magazines that let them know that everyone else is better-looking and lead more exciting lives, and listen to sad love songs about loneliness.

People with low self-esteem are bad at saying no. When they are asked for favours that they don’t actually want to do, people with low self-esteem find it extremely difficult to day no. Rather than risking that the other person would start to dislike them, people with low self-esteem instead take on more work than they would like to do. As a result, they often end up spending their lives working to please others rather than doing things for their own sake.

People with low self-esteem don’t take enough time for themselves. Because they constantly want to please others, people with low self-esteem rarely take enough time on doing things that they enjoy doing or that increase their wellbeing. By doing this, they unfortunately both send themselves the message that they are not important enough, and they don’t develop their self-awareness.
