Wait, People Actually Do Stuff That Screams “Low Self-Esteem”? Let’s Spill the Tea!

So, some folks chat non-stop about themselves, not because they’re vain or anything, but kinda hoping someone remembers them. Making friends isn’t as easy as it sounds (especially if you’re not in your 20s anymore). When you’re basically flying solo, self-esteem takes a nosedive because it feels like everyone else just forgot you exist. And that? That hurts. Big time.

These folks stroll through life acting like everything’s doomed before it even starts. Hey, chill! Sometimes things do work out, promise.

Turning cruelty into a confidence booster? That’s a red flag waving way too high. If you pick others just to feel better about yourself, yikes.

If all you hear is "This cost me x dollars!" in every chat, someone might be trying a little too hard to prove their worth in dollar signs.

Driving a giant truck that screams "I'm compensating for something" doesn’t exactly say 'I’m super confident.' More like, ‘Look at me, please!’

Zero eye contact? Looking at the ground like you did something wrong? Yup, classic self-esteem hiding move.

Trying way too hard to be top dog? Sometimes it’s just a mask for feeling not-so-top inside.

Got someone who’s always tossing shade about others? They might just be panic-screaming "Don’t judge me!" on the inside.

Constantly apologizing like it’s a reflex? They might just think the world’s mad at them 24/7.

Ever say “You look great!” and get a “No, I don't” right back? That’s low self-esteem throwing a party.

Posting a million perfectly posed selfies with a big side of ‘Notice me!’ screams, “I need attention ASAP.”

Ever meet someone who’s like a one-person show - all about their life, zero interest in yours? That’s likely a social skills fail fueled by insecurity.

If someone never dips a toe outside the comfy zone, chances are their confidence needs a little bump.

Someone making a statement then immediately asking, “Am I right?” is basically sending up a giant 'I need approval' flag.

Some folks can’t handle a little critique without starting a full-on meltdown. Bless their fragile souls.

You know those people shouting with their actions and words, "Notice meee!"? Yeah, low self-esteem loves throwing that party.

Ever met someone who's basically running a make-up relay race every single day? Shed it, reapply it, repeat. And bonus: they might be a total pain to deal with. Coincidence? Nope.

The people who decide you’re “not a real man/woman” based on random stuff? Yeah, that’s just insecurity with a badge.

If every convo includes a name drop to say, “Look who I know!”, confidence probably isn’t the real deal.

Constantly calling themselves the worst, complaining non-stop, never smiling, and not trying to get better. Raise a glass to this human meltdown.

Got someone who just can’t seem to catch a break and keeps picking bad partners? That’s the low self-esteem love train in action.

Yes, pajamas are comfy, but wearing them out like it’s a style statement can scream “I don’t even care about myself right now.”

Believing ink makes you look like a rockstar, when actually it just screams, “Look at me! Notice me!” without the confidence to back it up.
