Individuals who struggle with low self-worth have a deeply rooted negative perception about themselves. They have persistent feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, and believe they lack value. People with low self-worth often believe that they are not good enough, unworthy of love, success, or happiness, and they may be excessively self-critical. People with low self-worth may struggle with imposter syndrome, excessive people-pleasing, or find themselves in unhealthy relationships because they don’t recognize they deserve better.

Attachment trauma occurs when there is a significant disruption in the bond between a child and their caregiver, often during early childhood.
