Self-Esteem
Self-esteem can be a fragile thing. It is the degree to which we feel confident, valuable, and worthy of respect and it exists on a continuum from high to low. Where our self-esteem falls on this spectrum can influence our overall well-being.
When we have high self-esteem, we often feel good about ourselves and our progress through life. With low self-esteem, we often feel shame and self-doubt and often spend a good deal of time criticizing ourselves. Low self-esteem is a symptom of several mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression.
