#SelfEsteemSaturday – VERY HIGH SELF ESTEEM LINKED TO CRIMINALITY It is now become clear that too high self esteem or High Self Esteem Disorder is often more of a problem. This is NOT merely a disguised form of low self-esteem, as commonly thought. So, if you are the victim of a bully then you can rest assured you dont have to feel sorry for them. Hundreds of pieces of reliable research now show that bullies and many criminals are much more likely to suffer from unrealistically high self esteem and impulse control problems than low self esteem. An exaggerated sense of entitlement - expecting much from many situations - is more likely to lead to frustration and aggressive, antisocial, or even criminal behaviour. If self esteem can be too low it can also be too high. It was a crazy and unwarranted assumption that all human behaviour could be explained away by low self esteem. So, if you have a child or teenager who exhibits an unusually high self esteem, beware! It doesn’t necessarily mean that they will become a bully or a criminal but if left unattended, this could be a possibility.
