There seems to be several obvious mistakes in the article and in the original movement: A. Idea that you can easily mold the core beliefs of other people by simply telling them to be like this or that. It's not generally true. But low esteem specifically makes it difficult to accept positive external feedback. Even when it's hard earned and genuine. B. Treating human self image as one dimensional linear thing. Where on the other end you have narcissism and on the other complete self-worthlessness and ensuing violent depression. The reality seems to be lot more nuanced. There are things like self-respect, self-compassion and sense of (potential) usefulness to others. None of these are hard linked to how good or bad you feel about yourself. C. Some kind of misunderstanding of Narcissism. You can never turn normal healthy adult into narcissist by praising too much. (But you may cause some other negative effects.) Actual narcissist are often depressed themselves. Actual narcissist often aren't particularly interested in putting selfies to Instagram.
