It turns out that self-esteem can be high or low, and also conditional. Many people don’t even know about this concept.
But this is just as important an indicator as the ability to like yourself or not.
Self-esteem issues
One of the important indicators of self-esteem is its level.
The lower it is, the higher the risk of facing depression and physical ailments.
And vice versa. Inflated self-esteem can lead to an inadequate reaction – narcissism or aggression.
Conditional self-esteem
In addition to the level of self-esteem, experts highlight its stability or sustainability.
That is, this indicator may be unstable if self-esteem depends on some conditions.
This is conditional self-esteem, which is precisely unstable.
Such a person is thrown off track by any little thing, minor mistake, failure, if self-confidence depends on a wide variety of circumstances.
It could be studies, success in business, intelligence, religious beliefs, figure, morals, physical fitness, and anything else.
And if self-esteem depends on indicators in any areas of life, we can say that it is under threat and is unstable.
