3 faces that personalities with low self-esteem wear, Who are you?

There are actually three “faces” that people with low self-esteem wear.  See if you see yourself in any of these personalities.

The Impostor: acts happy and successful, but is really terrified of failure. The imposter lives with the constant fear that she or he will be "found out." They need continuous successes to maintain the mask of positive self-esteem, which may lead to problems with perfectionism, procrastination, competition, and burn-out.

The Rebel: acts like the opinions or good will of others - especially people who are important or powerful - don't matter. The rebel lives with constant anger about not feeling "good enough." They continuously need to prove that others' judgments and criticisms don't hurt, which may lead to problems like blaming others excessively, breaking rules or laws, or fighting authority.


The Loser: acts helpless and unable to cope with the world and waits for someone to come to the rescue. The loser uses self-pity or indifference as a shield against fear of taking responsibility for changing his or her life. They look constantly to others for guidance, which can lead to such problems as lacking assertiveness skills, under-achievement, and excessive reliance on others in relationships.

So what does a person with healthy self-esteem look like?
