Self-esteem
means feeling good about yourself. People with self-esteem feel liked and
accepted and are proud of what they do. They believe in themselves.
So
in a nut shell we can say that confidence and satisfaction in oneself is self-esteem
or can also be termed as SELF-RESPECT.
Self-esteem reflects an individual's overall
subjective emotional evaluation of their own worth.
It is the decision made by an individual as an
attitude towards the self.
Self-esteem
encompasses beliefs about oneself, for example, I am competent, I am worthy,
as well as emotional states, such as achievement, hopelessness, pride, and embarrassment.
The self-concept is
what we think about the self; self-esteem, is the positive or negative
evaluations of the self, as in how we feel about it.
There
are 2 types of self-esteem High and Low:
High People with a healthy
level of self-esteem
§ Firmly believe in
certain values and principles, and are ready to defend them even when finding
opposition, feeling secure enough to modify them in light of experience.
§ Are able to act
according to what they think to be the best choice, trusting their own
judgment, and not feeling guilty when others do not like their choice.
§ Do not lose time
worrying excessively about what happened in the past, nor about what could
happen in the future. They learn from the past and plan for the future, but
live in the present intensely.
§ Fully trust in their
capacity to solve problems, not hesitating after failures and difficulties.
They ask others for help when they need it.
§ Consider themselves
equal in dignity to others, rather than inferior or superior, while accepting
differences in certain talents, personal prestige or financial standing.[13]
§ Understand how they are
an interesting and valuable person for others, at least for those with whom
they have a friendship.
§ Admit and accept different
internal feelings and drives, either positive or negative, revealing those
drives to others only when they choose.
§ Are able to enjoy a
great variety of activities.
§ Are sensitive to
feelings and needs of others; respect generally accepted social rules, and
claim no right or desire to prosper at others' expense.
§ Can work toward finding
solutions and voice discontent without belittling themselves or others when
challenges arise.
Low
Low
self-esteem can result from various factors, including genetic factors,
physical appearance or weight, mental health issues, socioeconomic status,
significant emotional experiences, peer pressure or bullying.
A person with low
self-esteem may show some of the following characteristics
Heavy self-criticism and
dissatisfaction.
Hypersensitivity to
criticism with resentment against critics and feelings of being attacked.
Excessive will to
please and unwillingness to displease any petitioner.
Perfectionism, which can lead to
frustration when perfection is not achieved.
Individuals with low
self-esteem tend to be critical of themselves. Some depend on the approval and
praise of others when evaluating self-worth. Others may measure their
friendliness in terms of successes: others will accept themselves if they
succeed but will not if they fail.
