How to use "Lame" in context?
Lack of self-confidence can be labeled as lame. It is a feeling of inadequacy that can swallow a person up and make them feel that they are never good enough. Theories of self-esteem suggest that the way someone evaluates themselves, both positively and negatively, is hugely important. People who have a positive sense of self-esteem feel good about themselves and look to see what they can do rather than focus on what they cannot do. People with a negative sense of self-esteem tend to focus on their negative qualities and look to what they cannot do.
