Negative self-image - 2006/08/24 23:41
I think that my daughter may have bad self-image/self-concept which was mentioned in one of the articles in the site. If she passes a mirror or a reflection of herself I catch her muttering things—negative comments about her looks or her body. And at dinnertime when the whole family comes together to talk about matters, if she’s given a compliment for something good she always negates it. It’s like she won’t even give herself a chance to except the idea of really having qualities that she can be proud of. At first, I was thinking that this could all be signs of self-confidence issues but after observing her further I think this is much deeper than that. It feels like, in a way, she’s at war with herself.
