If he is constantly boasting about his success in life or with women, if he's constantly using cliches and quotations to express himself (never expresses an original thought), identifies all of his worth with someone or something else, like the company he works for or the woman he marries or his father's money, rather than being proud of his own achievements.

Signs of Deception:\nBody Language of Lies:\n• Physical expression will be limited and stiff, with few arm and hand movements. Hand, arm and leg movement are toward their own body the liar takes up less space.\n\n• A person who is lying to you will avoid making eye contact.\n\n• Hands touching their face, throat & mouth. Touching or scratching the nose or behind their ear. Not likely to touch his chest/heart with an open hand. \n\nEmotional Gestures & Contradiction\n• Timing and duration of emotional gestures and emotions are off a normal pace. The display of emotion is delayed, stays longer it would naturally, then stops suddenly.\n\n• Timing is off between emotions gestures/expressions and words. Example: Someone says "I love it!" when receiving a gift, and then smile after making that statement, rather then at the same time the statement is made.\n\n• Gestures/expressions don’t match the verbal statement, such as frowning when saying “I love you.”\n\n• Expressions are limited to mouth movements when someone is faking emotions (like happy, surprised, sad, awe, )instead of the whole face. For example; when someone smiles naturally their whole face is involved: jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forehead push down, etc.\n\nInteractions and Reactions \n• A guilty person gets defensive. An innocent person will often go on the offensive.\n\n• A liar is uncomfortable facing his questioner/accuser and may turn his head or body away. \n\n• A liar might unconsciously place objects (book, coffee cup, etc.) between themselves and you.\n\nRelated Books:\n\n \nNever be Lied to Again \n\n\n\nBody Language  \nVerbal Context and Content\n• A liar will use your words to make answer a question. When asked, “Did you eat the last cookie?” The liar answers, “No, I did not eat the last cookie.” \n\n•A statement with a contraction is more likely to be truthful: “ I didn't do it” instead of “I did not do it”\n\n• Liars sometimes avoid "lying" by not making direct statements. They imply answers instead of denying something directly.\n\n• The guilty person may speak more than natural, adding unnecessary details to convince you... they are not comfortable with silence or pauses in the conversation.\n\n• A liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. When a truthful statement is made the pronoun is emphasized as much or more than the rest of the words in a statement.\n\n• Words may be garbled and spoken softly, and syntax and grammar may be off. In other\nwords, his sentences will likely be muddled rather than emphasized.\n\nOther signs of a lie:\n• If you believe someone is lying, then change subject of a conversation quickly, a liar follows along willingly and becomes more relaxed. The guilty wants the subject changed; an innocent person may be confused by the sudden change in topics and will want to back to the previous subject.\n\n• Using humor or sarcasm to avoid a subject.\n\nFinal Notes:\nObviously, just because someone exhibits one or more of these signs does not make them a liar. The above behaviors should be compared to a persons base (normal) behavior whenever possible.\n\nI think your question and the answer can help a lot of people.\nGL

Try listening to your subconscious mind right before you react negatively.  If you can do that then you will find out what it is that is offending you.Example....  When someone trips most people get embarrassed and some people laugh at you cause it was funny.  You seem like the person that would trip, get embarrassed, then immediately following that feeling you would get mad.Am I right?  If so, you have an insecurity problem.  Just work on your self esteem and you will not be the way that you describe yourself.  Good Luck!!!

A little proverb I came across recently:\n\n"He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away." --unknown \n\nPeople who constantly point out your flaws have the proverbial log in their own eyes. In other words, ignore them and don't have too much contact with them.

Varies by the person. The best way to raise self-esteem is to try to focus on the things you like about yourself. Keep any compliments you receive in mind too as that will help you feel a little better about yourself. The more you focus on the good, the less you will look for the bad. Unfortunately, it's not an easy issue to fix, but focusing on being happy should help. As for a timeline...depends on the state of self-esteem to begin with and ability to cope and adapt. I wasn't too bad, but was very shy because I always felt stupid. Instead of pushing that out I just accepted it and now use it as a way to make people laugh. It only took a month for there to be a noticeable improvement in my self-esteem. And I always felt better. But it took 3 years for me to be practically entirely comfortable with myself. I hope that helps, if not I apologize.

Yes, you not only have a self-esteem problem, but a spiritual one also!  Just so you know.....you were made a little lower than the Angels...not one of God's animals...which would not be saying too much for God!\n\nLook in the mirror AGAIN and repeat this 3 x's!\n  \nMirror, mirror on the wall,\nWho's the fairest of them all;\nwhy, it must be me, 'cause I'm the only\none in the mirror I see!!\n\nThis is not vain or selfish, just a self-esteem BOOSTER!\n\nGod Bless You!

I make jokes about myself to myself, and I also tell a good friend I trust what I did, and sometimes their point of view makes me feel better, and sometimes they think I'm a fool too and they help me laugh about it.  After a while the humiliation goes away and you forget about it until the next time you get embarrassed.  Everyone goes through it, so don't be too hard on yourself.

If it is someone else that is giving you crap that is making you "allow" yourself to feel bad about yourself, tell them to stop - or remove yourself from the situation. \nOtherwise, this is something that has to come from within.\nEveryday look in the mirror and point out something that you see in yourself that you like, and OUTLOUD, acknowledge it to yourself. Same with daily accomplishments, no matter how small - tell yourself, OUTLOUD - Good job! Way to go! You rock girlfriend, Whatever. But no matter how you have lost it - or are losing it- (your self-esteem) you also are the only one to get it back. The fact that you care enough about yourself to ask for help tells me you're a great person and you're already acknowledging that you DO like yourself and care about yourself - or you wouldn't be asking. You'd just go crawl in a hole - So.........YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND! Hold your head up and move on and don't let anyone steal your joy and you'll have so much self-esteem it'll piss everyone off!  HAHA!

Insecurities, Not enough self-worth, or just afraid of rejection most of the time.

I would suggest counseling. It sounds like you have some deep rooted issues that need to be worked out. This is something more complex than a self esteem problem.\n\nLove yourself, you are beautiful and deserve to be happy!

Yeah.  When you realize that high self-esteem (pride) and low self-esteem are two side of the same coin.  This lind of pride is thinking you are to great and the other think that you are not enough.  At the end of the day it is still all about you.  The best is having no self-esteem.  In which you consider yourself honestly and then move on and refocus on the One who really matter GOD.  So, yes I have had days like that.

One of the signs of immaturity is judging others by their social or physical differences, rather than by their skills, effort, and accomplishments.\n\nYou're new. You're different. Expect people to be "judgemental" until you have been there for a while. If you work on your studies, maybe join a club focusing on improving the school and/or community, you'll start to fit in eventually.

Confidence. Low self-esteem

You need to pull out the good qualities about yourself when you start to experience those thoughts and feelings.\n\nFor some reason you are feeling insecure about yourself.  \n\nWhat is it that is making you feel less of who you are?  Because if you were feeling good about yourself you wouldnt have these thoughts.\n\nAre you feeling like you have less self esteem about your self?  Because when we start to compare ourselves to others and get deppresed we are actually feeling certain things about ourselves that we are not happy with.  \n\nLike for example, I begin to compare myself to my husband and I see all these great qualities about him and all his talents and acheievments.  I than start to feel less of me and think ...wow....he sure is smart, talented, funny..etcetc...and what about me?  \n\nI than have to look in the inside of me and see why I am feeling that way.  Its almost like a jealous reaction I get.  So,,,,,I dig into my inner self and think why?  I than realize that maybe I am not feeilng so great about myself because I am suffereing from insecurties about myself.\n\nMake sense?\n\nYou are more than you are giving your self credit for!

Most likely yes.\n\nGuys tend to be needy and their self esteem is based on feedback from others and not their own self respect.\n\nDon't beat yourself up.  It's NOT you.
