Self-esteem is the overall subjective sense of one's own worth or value. It involves a person's beliefs about themselves, their abilities, and their overall sense of self-worth. Having healthy self-esteem is important for mental and emotional well-being, as it impacts how we view and interact with the world around us. Low self-esteem can lead to feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and even depression, while high self-esteem can lead to greater confidence, resilience, and a more positive outlook on life. Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem is an ongoing process that involves self-reflection, self-compassion, and positive self-talk.
