is more riddled with this problem. of course with everything it is not % but a good majority Hot woman looking nsa Bridgeport fall under this category of low self esteem. this low esteem is more evident when a person is plucked from their environment and placed in a more affluent environment. if it was reversed that person might feel disdain or pity and everything in-between but not any self esteem issues. it is like high school, where if you don't wear the right cloths (need money to buy it) as dictated by media advertising you are not cool. i your point about money itself is not the cause or effect of low esteem; but it is in how high a regard we place upon it in our society. it is the lack of money which creates this low esteem for. btw good sense of self and self esteem are entirely different things, as i define it. side point, but since you brought it up. education and self esteem is not related as separate entities, but success in the pursuit of education is influenced by one's self esteem. experiments have been conducted where teachers were given a class and given rosters of their performance which revealed which students were above average and which were performing below average. unknowing to the teacher this was not true. they were average classrooms randomly chosen. this was conducted over and over with different teaches and students. what came of it was that unknowing to the teachers, they subconsciously favored the ones they believed were above average, through the attention, tone of voice, praise words, etc. it was very subtle but the pick up on it. this extra attention boosted their self esteem so on average they performed better. that is one of the reasons some parents, knowing these studies, hold back their one year before entering them into kindergarten. their have a distinct advantage over the average student and stand out; thus likely be favored by the teacher thus getting a good head start in building a stronger self esteem or self worth, which hopefully translate to the next year and the next. i totally agree with your third point and have been saying the same or at least tried to say. isn't that true of most other things beside self esteem?
