Stress and pressure are something that many people must face and can happen to people of all ages and genders. This can lead to low self-esteem. Here are some of the characteristics and ways to help you accept yourself more.
Low self-esteem is not a psychiatric disorder, but a mental problem caused by conflicting ideals, stress. And a depressed state of mind because of the perception that one is worthless. Has no pride, does not dare to express oneself, lacks enthusiasm, and has no motivation to develop oneself. Which affects problem management and improving quality of life.
According to โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที theory, self-esteem is divided into two types.
The first type involves self-esteem,
self-respect and self-evaluation, including self-worth, achievement and self-efficacy.
Appropriate ability to cope with various situations, goal achievement and competence, confidence, self-reliance and independence.
Type 2 involves judgments of worth from others,
such as fame, recognition, attention, honor, status, power over others, importance, dignity, being admired by others, etc.
Consistent with Coopersmith’s concept of self-esteem, which divides the elements that influence self-esteem into internal and external elements. Internal elements refer to the characteristics of each individual that cause the individual to see self-esteem, from physical characteristics, abilities, values, and mental health. External elements refer to the external environment with which the individual interacts, including family, people in school, work, and society and culture in which they live.
From the meanings and various components related to self-esteem mentioned above, it can be seen that a person’s self-esteem can be developed starting from oneself, followed by family, friends, and society in that order. From what society values, it can have a back-tracking effect on a person’s self-esteem. And if a person has low self-esteem, it will have an impact and cause problems in the next step, especially personality problems. It may also cause a person stress or anxiety, including problems in the society in which they live. Therefore, those who have low self-esteem should enhance their self-esteem more.
