Don't yell at your kids...

 Low Self-Esteem

Adults who were yelled at as children often struggle with low self-esteem. Constant criticism can erode a child’s confidence, leaving them feeling inadequate or unworthy.

This insecurity may carry over into adulthood, where they constantly question their abilities and value.

Anxiety

Being yelled at frequently creates an environment of tension and fear. As adults, these individuals often develop chronic anxiety, feeling constantly on edge or worried about making mistakes, even in situations that don't warrant such stress.

Trouble trusting others

When children are yelled at, they learn to fear and distrust the people who are supposed to protect and support them. This lack of trust can persist into adulthood, making it difficult to form close, healthy relationships.

People-Pleasing Tendencies

Adults who grew up with frequent yelling often become people-pleasers. To avoid conflict, they may go out of their way to make others happy, even at the expense of their own needs.

They are conditioned to seek approval from others to feel safe.

Emotional Suppression

Growing up in an environment where emotions were often dismissed or ridiculed through yelling can lead to emotional suppression. As adults, these individuals may struggle to express themselves authentically, hiding their true feelings to avoid rejection or anger.

Poor Conflict Resolution Skills

When yelling is a common form of communication, children don’t learn healthy conflict resolution techniques. In adulthood, these individuals may find themselves avoiding conflict altogether or resorting to unhealthy methods, like shutting down or lashing out.
