Hi
Please tell me if these lines are natural. Any suggestions are welcome.
There’s a possibility that the constant nagging, labeling and pointing fingers have made him believe that he’s really bad and incorrigible and he’s gone very low in the eyes of others and that he’s not worthy of forgiveness at all. Do you think a change of scenery would help?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi, Please tell me if these lines are natural. Yes, they are, particularly in the way so much is piled into the big sentence, with the unstylish repetition of 'and'. We more commonly say 'He's sunk very low'.

Thanks, Clive!
Should I use "in the eyes of others" with your suggestion?
He's sunk very low [in the eyes of others].
Could you please help me remove one "and" in that sentence? Also, is the register very low?

OK, what about this? Is this effort better?
There’s a possibility that the constant nagging, labeling and pointing fingers have made him believe that he’s really bad and incorrigible and he’s sunk very low, thus beyond any forgiveness at all. Do you think a change of scenery would help?
