@Marianne Hickman By how they present themselves. By what they say - or what they are not saying. I jumped back and forth between alot of different terms: low self esteem, low self confidence, low self belief, limiting beliefs, negative self perception, etc. I'm still not sold on the one I picked. What I have observed, most of our youth today struggle with low self worth to some degree. What I do know is the youth of today are starved for positive influence and support. The pressures placed on them from school, parents, sports, and social media is magnitudes higher than any adult experienced at their age. How do they manifest these behaviors? The same ways any of us adults manifest them.
