The Best Way To Help A Partner Struggling With Low Self-Esteem

Postpartum Anxiety

People with low self-esteem don’t see their personal sacrifices as being beneficial for their relationship.

As the study found, there’s a link between self-esteem and regret. In this case, people with low self-esteem don’t see their personal sacrifices as being beneficial for their relationship. Instead, they regret those sacrifices to a greater extent.

It really isn’t. Actively engaging with one another takes effort, attention, and desire.”
