Praising too much without deserving can lead to depression

Praising too much without deserving can lead to depression

People who try to improve their self-esteem by saying several times to themselves that they have done a great job, even if they have not done so, may end up with contrary results. The study involved experiments with four groups of young people from the United States and Hong Kong in China, according to a study published in the journal Emotion of the American Psychological Association. The American group totaled 295 university students - where 186 of them were women - with an average age of 19 years. The Chinese group consisted of 2,780 high school students, where 939 were girls.

In the first two experiments, one of the groups in the United States and all of Hong Kong did academic tests. They had to evaluate and compare their own performance with other students in their schools. After that, all participants completed a questionnaire to assess the symptoms of depression. In the third and fourth stage of the study, the researchers evaluated the remaining groups, asking their personal evaluation about the exercises - here, some performed well but found it to be low. On the other hand, other students have performed poorly but found that it was elevated.

Crossing the data, the results showed that those who rated performance as much larger than they actually were are significantly more likely to feel depressed. For researchers at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, who led the study, distress symptoms followed by excessive self-talk probably occur when a person's inadequacy is exposed. They also believe that the best way to improve self-esteem is to properly assess their performance.

Understand how low self-esteem can undermine your personal life

Losing self-esteem can carry a number of risks. The first is not to have the same strength as before to solve the issues that arise. Suddenly that happy person that you were is getting tired and is let down by criticism, feelings of guilt, shame, fears, insecurity, etc. "When these sensations begin to dominate the thoughts, it is possible to notice a drop in the income in all the sectors of the life", explains the psychologist Doralice Lima.

The work yields less and does not give pleasure. At home, family life becomes a martyrdom, and the desire to stay in bed or just TV as a company increases. "The isolation is symptomatic and happens in domino effect. You can start with seclusion and end up in deep depression," the professional warns. Having a mind dominated by negative thoughts helps to develop disease. Try to remember the times you had a fever, for example. Usually it comes later when you are going through personal or professional problems that wear you out. It is a way for the body to shout, "I'm not well, look at me."

Disastrous Consequences

If self-esteem falls and is not recovered, it can happen that income falls both at work to the point that the boss that dismissal is the best alternative. At home, the relatives perceive the most arrogant behavior. Friends also do not understand why this person was so wanted not to mingle more in the events they combined with such pleasure. "In a short time, a social and professional life that has been conquered can collapse," says the psychologist.

There are two ways of facing life's mishaps: whether to become a victim in the face of a difficulty or to roll up the sleeves to solve it keep going. Always prefer the second alternative, the specialist recommends. "Lamentation periods are common, and removing grievances is natural, but these moments must be transient." Life may stagnate if the behavior is moved by rancor, "the professional explains.
