Self-esteem refers to the way you perceive yourself. It evolves and changes based on your reactions to life experiences. Poor self-esteem causes people to judge themselves based on their current performance. Oftentimes, people who have poor self-esteem put their effort into maintaining their public “persona” (Carl Jung). Those with healthy
self-esteem see themselves with accuracy and accept themselves unconditionally. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and those who have healthy self-esteem acknowledge this truth and work on bettering themselves.
