Chris Collins and a co-speaker explore how low self-esteem warps what we aim for. People with low self-esteem set survival-level goals to avoid confirming they're unworthy, while we tend to expect too much from others and too little from ourselves.
So if somebody has low self esteem, what is their expectation that it's all.
Going to be a mess?
Like if you say to somebody like hey, what is your goal for 2024 and they have low self esteem, what are they going to say I don't.
Want to get fired.
What is the goal going to be low or is.
It going to be high?
Low.
Yeah.
Why?
They just want to survive.
Yeah.
Because they don't think they're entitled to anything more and.
They, if they, if they tried to do something and failed, it would be an indictment and it would be confirmation that they' failure. They're not worthy or they're not good enough, they don't belong. Right.
Yeah. Would you say that that's kind of the punchline to expectation.
Jokes is that.
We oftentimes expect too much out of others and not enough out of ourselves?
Yes. I, I think that's very insightful.
