Answer: Neil may become violent if he thinks others are treating him disrespectfully

Explanation: High self-esteem can lead to several situations that can last a long time and that can lead to unintended consequences and conditions that are usually the opposite of what is high self-esteem in itself. These are the drawbacks of high self-esteem that lead to bad situations, and these situations and conditions can be depression, chronic dissatisfaction due to the inability to achieve what we have come up with due to the high standards that result from high self-esteem, and therefore the feeling of loneliness that leads to an inability to adapt socially, gives us the impression that no one understands us. All these deficiencies of high self-esteem usually lead to low self-esteem which can again lead to mental disorders and all together to a low quality of life. Thus, a low quality of life combined with possible mental disorders may also lead to aggressive behaviour due to the thought that others do not take us seriously or disrespect us.
