Traits associated with low self-confidence include:
- Undervaluing your experience and abilities; writing yourself off as being “no good at anything”
- Accepting the blame for things when it isn’t your fault
- Holding back, especially in groups, and dreading sharing your opinion – or anything about yourself or your life; being very shy and reserved
- Having unrealistic, perfectionist standards for yourself – and at the same time being highly self-critical
- Obsessing over things that went wrong in the past (especially if was something you said or did)
- Being preoccupied with the negative outcomes and potential failures (And what people will think of you – as a consequence of that)
- Being fearful of a wide range of people and situation; dreading going, or doing, something new
- Doing things to please others – even when it’s thing you really don’t want to do (for fear of disapproval, rejection, or losing face)
