Why do girls suffer from low self-esteem?


Question:
I don't have low self-esteem I'm okay with the way I look. But I've seen girls who won't even let a man give them a compliment. I've also seen girls get with awful guys just because of the esteem level. For example: my next door neighbor is with a guy who is addicted to porn and he is also so selfish. She;s a nice woman and I believe she can get better but she just doesn't know that.. So my question is what would u say to a girl with low self-esteem and why do most girls suffer from it???

Answers:
who's to say guys don't suffer from low self-esteem?

people are prone have insecurities, that's just the way we are

maybe your neighbor sees something you don't from her boyfriend, maybe you don't know something about her, if you really want to help her out then, go for it
Maybe people care too much of what people think and everytime someone says something negative- their self-esteem level decreases. Ive been there and done that. It's a personal thing and before people start judging them and putting them down, they need to get to know them on a personal level. Until then they shouldnt speak.. But I dont know just put yourself in her shoes and try to think of positive things to say to her. Btw, guys suffer from low self-esteem also.
i think the media has a lot to do with it. they promote girls looking like they haven't eaten in years and they put makeup on them until their faces would fall off.when girls look at things like that thats what they think is beautiful and thats what they think they should look like, when in fact, a lot of those girls aren't healthy and don't actually look like that. you could treat them nicely, but if you want to help your nieghbor, be sure you know her well enough. just tell her she is beautiful and such a great person and deserves better than what she has right now.
I believe that most girls suffer from low self esteem because they may have had a bad past or upbringing and they may be currently in an environment where they are told negative things about themselves.
everything is " compared to what?". if you think you are ugly, you are thinking that compared to someone who you believe is much more beautifu. if you wanted to feel pretty, you would compare yourself to someoand groosly overweight and sloppy... it is a matter of focus... if you focus on your one crooked tooth or the zit on your nose, you will feel accordingly.. if you focuis on the things you like... hair or whatever you will feel pretty.. focus.. focus focus...

our culture rewards peopla for being victoms. if your friend says she is ugly odds are someone will tell her she is beautiful... she likes that so she is trained how to get a compliment... beat her too it... compliment her first

as far as being with a scuzzy guy....the ultimate compliment or insult will come from the opposite sex. all your girlfriends can tell you that a dress looks beautiful. but one guy telling her it is hitious will trump all of that... and you willl believe it is ugly

we all fear that we are not enough.and if we are not enough we wont be loved.... and if you look at guys who are your equal, some will reject you .. but if you go with low class trash, they wont... it is a matter of comfort.. she doesnt have to fear that the guy will leave.. because he wont

first step.. she needs to love herself... do all of the theings for herself that she wishes her best friend or guy would do for her... be her own best friend..
Because girls tend to lack self-confidence and are judged by their appearance more than anything else. It doesn't matter how smart, talented, charming, etc. she is--in this society she still has to be pretty. I know guys have low self-esteem too, but I don't think they're bombarded with images everywhere every day of what they should look like.

I don't know why so many girls lack confidence. I suspect it's something in the way we raise them.

Just keep on telling your friend how nice she is and complimenting her on her good points. She may not want to hear anything against her boyfriend at first, but if she ever tells you about a fight they have or something he's done, you can use it as an opening to tell her she deserves better.

She probably really needs to see a counselor. It takes a long time and a lot of work to overcome a lifetime of low self-esteem.
