Self-Esteem
What is it?
Do I have enough?
How can I have more of it?
There are many definitions of self-esteem. Essentially, self-esteem is the value that we subjectively place on ourselves. Other affiliated words include self-confidence and self-regard.
Do you….
Use a negative tone and language when you talk about yourself?
Second guess yourself?
Feel negative emotions towards yourself and/or others (high anxiety, sadness, anger, and/or aggression)?
View life in a negative way?
Become overly clingy in relationships?
Act overly sensitive to criticism?
Seek validation of your own worth from others and/or from objects?
Overinflate yourself to hid insecurities?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then your concept of self maybe at risk.
