Scientists have proven that genes play no role in self-esteem is a FALSE statement. In fact, most mental health (including self-esteem) has many connections with genetics.
The OXTR gene is said to be related to our self-esteem. Just a fun fact:
Those with 1 or 2 copies of the OXTR with an "A" allele gene are shown to be the more "negative" type of people with lower self-esteems. Those with 2 copies of the OXTR with a "G" allele gene were said to be more optimistic.
