Resources about humiliation, shame, low self worth, lack of self love, etc

2 posts in this topic

So it seems my social anxiety and fear of being less/inferior stems from some kind of mental illness, or maybe a trauma, or conditioning, or both.

Now I know it's not real. It's not the truth. I am creating it with my constant thoughts about reality.

Leo says one should research his problem until it finds a solution.

So I am interested in knowing about good resources to let me understand what is wrong with my thoughts and how can I solve it.

I would prefer serious books on the matter instead of the typical 10min video from teal swan Lol

Thank u very much


Fear is just a thought

I don't know how deep this issue goes with you and how much you've already worked with it, but first I would recommend 2 great books, if you haven't already read them:

1) The Six Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathaniel Branden. It's a great book to fix the core issues of the low self-esteem you seem to have. It was a killer for me to bring on the confidence and trust in myself I needed, when I was in a process of leaving from a long term relationship.

2) After reading that, I would read Maxwell Maltz's Psycho-Cybernetics. For me it was crucial to fuel my new life after I broke up and started to heal and rise from the ashes and started a new kind of life.

Like I said, I don't know about you, maybe the problems with you stems from deeper, and to get a handle of that might need a bit different methods than reading a book or two.
