Overcoming Poor Behavioral Pattern

It is true that everyone needs positive and high self esteem in order for them to live a desirable life. However, your self confidence might be eroded by poor behavioral pattern. If you have too much esteem you are likely to become a social snob and difficult character to deal with. Establishing the difference between healthy and unhealthy self esteem can sometimes be hard to distinguish. Luckily, here is all the information you need to learn about unhealthy behavioral patterns that would in turn boost your self-esteem.

Being too full of ourselves:

If you cannot appreciate correction when you make mistakes, this is unhealthy behavior. You are so confident in yourself that you don’t think you can make a mistake or require advice from other people. There is no one with all skills and ability to accomplish all tasks perfectly. It is crucial to believe and value your personal decisions but if it goes to the extent where you cannot accept positive correction or advice from others, you are overconfident and this is likely to do you more harm than good to your self worth when you will make mistakes that you cannot fix by your own.

Arrogance:

This is a feeling of superiority. Extreme self confidence is a major cause of this condition.  The esteem easily leads the patient to get engaged in risky activities such as criminal activities. Over trusting in your skills and talents may hinder you from progressing. It is essential to share ideas and learn from others what you don’t know.

Egocentric:

Characteristics of unhealthy self love and vanity are other common self appreciation characteristics that show you have unhealthy self esteem. You believe that only what you have done surpass standard quality or are worthy. Healthy esteem does allow a chance of listening to opinion and advice from other people.

Overbearing:

Overconfident persons tend to take heavier burdens than they can manage instead of allowing others to help them. Healthy self esteem would not drive you to taking excess burdens that are guaranteed to make your life difficult.  

Over assertive:

This is extreme self confidence that your decision is always right. You may have the skills and ability in your field of profession but sometimes you might need assistance in doing some things. This can interfere with your social status since you feel no significance to associate with others. The final results end up you having extremely low performance.

Lack of humility:

Unhealthy self-esteem can make you a really hard character to deal with. Some people become bullies or criminals. The reason for becoming harsh is pushed by the desire for gaining the extra attention and recognition that you feel is not yet recognized. Healthy self esteem comes with humility since there is no unearned recognition to be sought.

Holding grudges:

Unhealthy esteem make people feel that they should not be corrected or advised. Correcting them positively can make them hold hard feelings against you for a long time. They will never forgive and may raise the subject occasionally later.

Perfectionism:

You tend to develop a sense of excellence. You develop an attitude that your work is supposed to be flawless. This can be a great setback since if you make great mistake, you will get devastated and discouraged instead of learning from the mistakes and making improvement in the future.
