Self Esteem
Solution
Self esteem refers to the person's overall evaluation of his/her worth as a person, based on all positive and negative self perceptions. It is based on our appraisal of our potential, achievements, and failures. It is generally along a dimension e.g., good - bad, high - low. A person can have various levels of self esteem. According to Rosenberg, it is our attitude towards ourself.
Characteristics of a person with low self esteem are feeling of unhappiness, and anxiety, feeling of superiority or inferiority, impatience with self or others having externally oriented goals, and feelings of negativity.
Self esteem can be improved by eliminating negative self talk, recognizing your strengths, and self worth, accepting and improving mistakes, and accepting rejection.
