Workplace situations that might give your self-esteem a bit of a hit

Workplace situations that might give your self-esteem a bit of a hit

Having a job can be a great way to boost your self-esteem, but for some people with low self-esteem, it can be tough to navigate the ups and downs of the workplace. If you’re someone who struggles with self-esteem, it’s important to be mindful of the work environment you’re in and the type of boss and co-workers you have. Here are some job conditions that may be challenging for people with low self-esteem:

 

  • An overbearing boss – If you have a boss who is constantly criticizing you and doesn’t treat you with respect, it can be tough to feel good about yourself at work. They might make you feel like you’re not good enough, which can take a toll on your self-esteem.
  • A micromanager – If you have a boss who is always watching your every move, it can make you feel like you’re always on edge. You might worry that you’re not doing things the way you should be, which can be stressful and make it hard to feel good about yourself.
  • Uncooperative or critical co-workers – If you’re working with people who are always finding fault with you or don’t treat you kindly, it can be hard to feel good about yourself. Their negativity can make you feel worse about yourself and your abilities.
  • Favouritism – If you feel like your boss is showing favouritism to other employees, it can be tough not to take it personally. You might start to wonder what you did wrong or if there’s something wrong with you. But remember that favouritism is often a reflection of the boss’s practices, rather than anything to do with you.
  • Cliques – If you’re working in an environment where there are tight-knit groups that are hard to break into, it can be hard to feel included. Being left out can be hard on your self-esteem, so if you are in this situation, make an effort to find and make connections with others who whose values align with yours.

It’s important to remember that not every job will be a perfect fit for you, and it’s okay to look for an environment that is better suited to you where you can thrive. And if you’re struggling with your self-esteem a bit, consider talking to a therapist or counsellor, who can help you work through these issues and improve your self-esteem.
