Difficult Temperament And Low self-esteem

Difficult Temperament
Lexy: Lexy had always been considered a "high maintenance" child. She made frequent, loud demands for attention as an infant, and had continued to do so for much of her life. She ate irregularly and slept irregularly, despite numerous attempts by her family to establish routines. She pouted miserably when things were the slightest bit different from what she expected. She insisted on being in charge when playing with her friends. She had difficulty adjusting to high school, where she had to rotate from class to class and had a different teacher in each subject. She became preoccupied with her teachers' different teaching styles, insisting that some were simply wrong. Similarly, her peers could never measure up to her exacting standards, and she soon had a very small circle of friends. If anyone commented on how she was making herself miserable, she blamed that person for the problem.

Low self-esteem,
Carlos: Carlos always seemed to live in the shadow of his older brother, Joe. Joe was an excellent basketball player, top student, and popular among his peers. Carlos was none of these. He was constantly trying to impress his friends with feats of daring, often injuring himself in the process. They merely laughed. Carlos bragged about his computer game system. The other boys thought he was showing off. Their families couldn't afford the latest systems. Inside, Carlos was miserable: constantly comparing himself to others and feeling that he didn't measure up. His stunts and bragging were ineffective ways of looking for praise.
