Self-esteem is how we perceive ourselves. Self-esteem can be referred to as how much you appreciate and like yourself, this can be determined by different factors e.g. feelings of competence, self-confidence, identity.
People with lower self-esteem tend to feel less secure in their abilities and may trust their decisions less. They also might find it hard to try new things because they doubt that they are capable. Having low self-esteem can also affect
their relationships in terms of trust and security and also in the sense of them not being able to express their needs.
Sometimes trying new things, meeting new people, and participating in things in the world that are important to us can improve our self-esteem
Your self-esteem can affect whether you:
Are able to make decisions/make yourself heard
Love yourself for who you are
Value yourself as a person
Are able to recognise and celebrate your strengths
Believe in yourself
Move past your mistakes
Try new things
