I believe it most likely comes from childhood. A person who has a parent or parents who belittle them usually tend to internalize the message that they are not good enough and carry into their adult life. The brain plays back the critical or positive messages given to children by their significant elders somewhat like a tape recorder. Some of us are lucky to have loving parents who praise us and loves us as we are. Others of us have parents who have severe problems and are incapable of loving or caring for us in a nurturing way. I believe how we feel about ourselves is directly related to the message we received at critical stages growing up. Sometimes therapy, adult loving relationships and or positive thinking can help. Lots of times people just blindly believe what they were told as children and continue to believe negatively about themselves.

A variety of reasons . For some it's the easy way out ; or laziness . Self-esteem issues unresolved from childhood is another reason . Drugs or mental issues could also play into it .

Sure, its about hereditary / environmental / societal etc., causes, but once one realises that s/he has the condition, it will persist only as long as that person allows it.
It is entirely curable.
Just start proving to yourself that you are, that you can, that you did, and the malady will soon diminish.
The key to it, psychologically, is in this verse, whose author escapes me, but it goes like this:
It's not about what they think about you,
It's not about what you think about yourself,
It's about what YOU think, they think, about you.
So there you have it. Your self image is something you imagined was in other peoples minds. How silly, aye?
The dead set reality of it is, that mostly other people don't think about ME much, they are too busy worrying about themselves. And if any of them do like me, it is because they are getting some payola from me of some type. No payola, no likey!
So trying to prove IT to Them, will never work. That will only make you a slave to their wishes and control.
Happy Self-Loving

I'm sure this varies from person to person. You just have to ask them and try to change that if you can. I always tell my friends to have higher self-esteem and sometimes it really works.

It may be because of those reasons and because they have been disappointed.
