Self esteem

Low self-esteem is characterized by a negative perception and lack of confidence in oneself and one's abilities, leading to feelings of anxiety, shame, and depression. It creates a sense of self-doubt, negative thoughts, and beliefs that can significantly affect various areas of life.

Individuals with low self-esteem may perceive themselves as weak, unintelligent, or failures, experiencing feelings of inadequacy, unlovability, or unworthiness due to negative thoughts and beliefs about themselves. These negative self-perceptions can contribute to difficulties in forming and maintaining healthy relationships, achieving personal goals, and coping with stress or adversity.

With the assistance of psychology, individuals can gain a better understanding of how low self-esteem developed and learn effective strategies to improve their self-esteem. A key approach is cultivating self-compassion, which involves treating oneself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance. Through self-compassion, individuals can develop a healthier self-belief system, increase confidence, and gain the courage to live the life they desire.
