Inability to accept compliments
For example: a colleague or acquaintance says a simple phrase: "Oh, how beautiful you are today." An insecure woman with low self-esteem is more likely to say something other than "Thanks, that's good to hear." And something like: “Yeah! I just got a good haircut - this is my hairdresser with golden hands. She will not accept a compliment (praise, recognition of merit or something pleasant), she will not enjoy the moment, but she will notice the merits of another.
In the worst case, everything will end with the fact that she simply will not be able to appreciate her own merits. It will be silent about work achievements and belittle results and performance. For example, before management she will keep silent about the fact that she was the initiator of the project and led it from beginning to end. She will never say a word that she single-handedly raised the children, earned money and gave them an excellent start in life. She will modestly deny when she is called a good daughter, girlfriend or wife. In her eyes, this is in the order of things, but she is obliged by default, and there is no merit in the fact that the duty is fulfilled.

Frequent complaints about life
Around such personalities, the world cannot be bright, happy and colorful. He is constantly unfair. Everything works out for everyone, but for her, it crumbles, falls down and does not go as planned. There is simply no understanding that it can really affect your life. And all because here, in addition to low self-esteem, there is also no understanding that every person can (and should!) Influence his life.

Inability to accept gratitude
This manifestation is one of the most unpleasant. People who do not know how to accept gratitude do not consider their actions to be something special. And it's not that they are noble, no, they just consider themselves unworthy of sincere gratitude. A woman can invite guests, set a wonderful table and have an amazing evening, but when the hostess begins to be thanked and praised, she stews. The situation is similar to the example with compliments, but the basis of the habit is slightly different.
The girl did, tried, invested a lot of effort, resources and time, but she is simply not able to accept that it is pleasant and valuable for others. Her shyness manifests itself even in her bodily condition. She has a bewildered shifty look, slumped shoulders. She simply cannot look into the eyes of the interlocutor for a long time, she fusses.

Devaluing other people
This habit is the reverse side of the previous point, with the only difference being that the rejection is directed not at oneself, but at others. The depreciation of one's own personality is inevitably projected onto others: a woman who does not love herself and suffers from inadequate self-esteem will assert herself at the expense of strangers. Make fun of other people's shortcomings, habits, lifestyle, appearance. “Just think, his parents brought everything to him on a silver platter - he himself didn’t start earning millions at the age of 20”, “Yes, she was just lucky”, “So there were circumstances”, “Nothing surprising, with such and such connections,” such phrases slip in the lexicon of some women especially often. And part of it, of course, comes from self-doubt.
