In fact, I would say that if you don’t start out with a decent amount of self-esteem it’s about impossible to build back up.
I guess I’m not a good representative if this is true on average. I’m not experienced enough with psychology/neurology to actually suggest anything. On the other hand I could but it’s not that the odds are against me, they’re totally unknown to me.
I would say at least in cursory observations of people that is true, but then I also think there is environmental considerations. Broken people tend to hang out together creating a greater case for it. Well-adjusted people tend to hang out with like people. I’m sure that if I were a totally well-adjusted person and hung out with less damaged souls then I would have an idea of it being far lower or very exceptional. Whereas, because I tend to hang out with people that have similar backgrounds to my own it seems higher. Its the fish tank effect.
