Problem associated with low self-esteem

Before going into details of how one can overcome low self-esteem, you first need to understand what actually low self-esteem is. Low self-esteem is a problem which affects many people and it basically means not thinking too highly of one’s own self.

The worst part about low self-esteem is that it not only deteriorates your health but it affects the quality of life as well.

Such a person also feels as though other people are staring down on him or her.

A thing to note here is that fortunately low self-esteem is not a genetic problem which means that you can cure it with little effort.

You should have the guts to criticize yourself each and every day because self criticism is the ladder to personal improvement and growth. When you are able to do that then you will stop being a disappointment not only to yourself but also to your family.
