A person's self-esteem can rightfully be called the foundation of his happy life.
This factor determines what kind of relationships you will have with others, success in your personal life, and achievements in other areas.
However, you shouldn’t buy courses and go to a psychotherapist in order to raise your self-esteem – it’s quite possible that it’s already at the right level, so the first thing that every person needs to do is determine how they evaluate themselves.
Signs of Low Self-Esteem
A person with low self-esteem tends, first of all, to consider himself incompetent.
He regularly feels unable to accomplish the tasks set before him.
Another characteristic sign is the established opinion “I am worse and lower than others.”
Finally, people with low self-esteem are often in toxic relationships and have trouble defining and protecting their personal boundaries.
What does it mean to have high self-esteem?
To determine whether you have an inflated self-esteem, you should honestly answer a few questions: "Am I capable of self-criticism? Am I capable or not of accepting comments from others?"
If self-esteem is too high, a person usually downplays his own shortcomings and exaggerates his positive qualities, and sometimes even invents them.
