If in fanfiction Naruto's parents left him with a burden of expectations, that could lower his self - esteem. He might feel like he can't live up to what they would have wanted.
In some fanfictions, Naruto could find out that his parents made sacrifices that he feels unworthy of. For instance, if his father sealed the Nine - Tails in him and died because of it. Naruto might think he's not good enough to carry that legacy, thus having low self - esteem. He may constantly compare himself to the idea of his parents and always find himself lacking. He might also be bullied because of his connection to his parents, like being the son of the Fourth Hokage who sealed the demon in him, which could further damage his self - esteem.
One idea for a fanfiction could be that Naruto finds out his parents were actually not as heroic as he thought. This shatters his self - esteem as his whole identity was built on the idea of living up to their reputations. He starts to question everything he does and whether he is worthy of being their son at all. This could lead to a journey of self - discovery where he has to re - build his self - esteem from the ground up.
Often, Naruto in these fanfictions is shown to be overly self - critical. He might downplay his achievements, like when he defeats a powerful enemy but still thinks it was just luck. He may also be hesitant to take on leadership roles, believing he's not good enough compared to others in the village.
In Naruto fanfiction where he has low self - esteem, it could be due to his status as a jinchuriki. People in the village often shunned him, which might lead to self - doubt. Writers may explore how he overcomes this, perhaps through the support of his friends like Sasuke and Sakura. They could show Naruto gradually realizing his own worth as he becomes stronger and more respected in the ninja world.
From the story of Tom, we can encourage body positivity. Teach kids that all body types are beautiful. We can also confront the bullies. For Lily, we can offer extra tutoring and positive feedback. Let her know that everyone has off days in academics and one failure doesn't mean she's stupid. Regarding Jack, we can provide constructive criticism privately. Show him the good parts of his drawing and encourage him to keep practicing.
Parents can start by giving lots of positive affirmations. For example, telling their little girls how smart, kind or talented they are on a regular basis. Simple words like 'You are so brave today' can go a long way.
One way to improve Percy's self - esteem could be through the support of his friends. In fanfiction, his friends could have a heart - to - heart talk with him, reminding him of his past achievements and strengths.
Sure. There was a kid named Tom. He was a bit overweight. In school, some mean kids would tease him about his size. They called him names like 'fatty'. This made Tom feel really bad about himself. He started to avoid going to school activities and became very shy. He thought no one would like him because of his weight.
Sure. Take J.K. Rowling for example. She was a single mother on welfare, struggling with low self - esteem due to her difficult situation. But she didn't let that stop her. She poured her heart into writing the Harry Potter series. Despite initial rejections, she believed in her work. And now, she is one of the most successful authors in the world, inspiring millions.
A really good one is 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' by Gail Honeyman. Eleanor has a very low self - esteem due to her difficult past. But as the story progresses, we see her grow and start to see her own worth. It's an inspiring story about overcoming self - doubt.
πFor introverted people with low self-esteem, I recommend the book " He Is Sick Must Be Coaxed " to you. This was a short and sweet story about a genius school belle who liked to be introverted and self-abased. She was a study god whose legs were paralyzed. Through the school belle's continuous efforts and concern, the student god finally slowly walked out of the psychological shadow. This book is relaxing and interesting, warm and healing. I believe it will bring you positive energy. I hope you like my recommendation.π
