Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Feelings of worthlessness, anxiety, and/or depression are commonly associated with a negative self-concept. The client's downward gaze and soft spoken responses also suggest low self-esteem and lack of confidence. Increased desire to form lasting relationships and inability to maintain stable employment may be associated with other issues, but do not necessarily indicate a problem with self-concept. Decreased ability to form attachments with other people may be associated with attachment-related disorders, but does not indicate a problem with self-concept specifically.
