Self-Esteem Issues
Self-esteem refers to how you see and value yourself. It influences the way you think, feel, and behave, affecting your confidence, relationships, and overall well-being. Struggling with low self-esteem can make it difficult to believe in your abilities, assert your needs, or feel worthy of love and respect. Over time, these challenges can lead to self-doubt, anxiety, and depression.
Low self-esteem often develops from critical self-talk, past experiences, or unrealistic expectations. It can make you overly focused on perceived flaws, hesitant to take risks, or excessively reliant on external validation. Building healthy self-esteem involves recognising your strengths, reframing negative beliefs, and learning to treat yourself with kindness and compassion.
