Explanation:
Four indicators of a learner with low self-esteem may include:
1. Avoidance of social interactions or withdrawal from social situations, such as Connie deciding to leave school.
2. Negative self-talk or self-criticism, especially related to perceived shortcomings or challenges, like Connie struggling with speech presentations and feeling embarrassed about her lisp.
3. Lack of confidence in one's abilities, demonstrated by avoidance of tasks or activities where they fear failure, such as Connie's struggle to answer questions in front of her peers.
4. Sensitivity to criticism or ridicule, as seen in Connie's experience with some learners laughing at her because of her speech challenge, which can further erode self-esteem.
