What is Low Self-Esteem?
The word ‘esteem’ comes from a Latin word that means ‘to estimate’. Self-esteem is how you estimate yourself.
To do that, you need to ask yourself certain questions:
- Do I like myself?
- Do I think I’m a good human being?
- Am I someone deserving of love?
- Do I deserve happiness?
- Do I feel deep down that I’m an okay person?
People with low self-esteem find it hard to answer yes to these questions. Perhaps you are one of them. If so counselling may help.
