What is low self-esteem?
We tend to go through life evaluating ourselves and others according to a scale of worth. The idea of self-esteem is the amount of value that we consider we are worth. These values vary from person to person. If we get into the habit of thinking negatively about ourselves, then low self-esteem, or placing little value on ourselves, is the result.
Low self-esteem can be the result of negative life experiences, such as being criticised or judged negatively by others. Low self-esteem is often maintained by our own self-critical thoughts, which can be triggered by criticism or perceived criticism.
