Self-esteem is a term used to describe a person’s general opinion of themselves and their worth. It’s how much you value and love yourself and it includes your opinions of your abilities, beliefs, emotions, and behaviours. Good Self Esteem People with good self esteem like their physical appearance, their personality, they feel proud of their accomplishments and see good in themselves. They set high expectations for themselves because they believe in themselves. To add, they feel confident that those around them like them, they accept their flaws, and they are confident in their abilities and who they are. If you have good self esteem, you’re comfortable in your own skin and you're proud of who you are and what you’re doing in life. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’re perfect or you don't make mistakes. It just means that when those mistakes happen, you don’t feel as though your worth is diminished or you’re less deserving of happiness; it just means you need to find a new solution. Low Self Esteem Those with low self-esteem may think that they are not “good enough” or at least as good as others. They are harder on themselves than they are on others and they dislike who they are as a person or their place in the world. They're most likely overly critical of their appearance, behaviours, and abilities which makes them second guess themselves a lot. What’s more, they probably don’t feel accepted or like other people want to spend time with them; they feel like a burden or a bother. People with low self-esteem may struggle with impostor syndrome and doubt whether they’re as good or skilled as other people think they are. They feel like a stranger in their own skin and often question their worthiness or if they deserve love and happiness. Final Thoughts Self-esteem is a complicated and difficult thing and it fluctuates quite a bit especially when you’re in your adolescent phase and you’re trying to fit in while being yourself. Even the most confident people may struggle with their own self-worth because at the end of the day we are coming to terms with the fact that we are all humans. We are fallible creatures and we will make mistakes or have moments of panic and doubt but that doesn’t diminish our worth or take away from how brilliant and amazing we are. However, low self-esteem can hold us back from achieving our true potential and take away our happiness so I hope this website will help you feel more confident and help to improve your self-esteem.
