10 Signs of Low Self-Esteem You Need to Watch Out For

8. Over-Apologizing
Excessive apologies can signal insecurity. People with low self-esteem feel they’re always at fault or a burden, so they preemptively apologize to avoid conflict or rejection.
Example: Saying “I’m sorry” for things beyond your control, like the weather or someone else’s mistake.
How to Overcome:
- Reflect before apologizing: Is it truly your fault?
- Replace apologies with gratitude (e.g., “Thank you for understanding” instead of “I’m sorry for being late”).
- Build self-awareness to recognize your intrinsic value.
