They feel that life is totally against them and there is nothing they can do but accept it. This is one of the classic symptoms of low self esteem.

Denial is also a trait of low self esteem. Not admitting or accepting they may have a problem will always keep them locked right where they are now. It’s a vicious circle, you want to progress and change your life around but don’t have the courage to break out of your comfort zone to face your fears.

The problem is, when things don’t go as planned, their self esteem sinks lower and the cycle continues over and over again.
