What causes low self-love?

Factors Contributing to Low Self-Love

Continuous exposure to stressful life situations, such as a breakup or financial difficulties, can undermine self-esteem. Additionally, experiencing mistreatment from a partner, parent, or caregiver, particularly in the context of an abusive relationship, can have detrimental effects. Chronic health issues, including persistent pain, serious illnesses, or physical disabilities, may also play a role. Furthermore, mental health disorders, such as anxiety or depression, can significantly reduce one’s capacity for self-love.
