If we have high self-esteem, we feel good about ourselves. And if we feel confident, we feel like there are things we’re good at. But sometimes, our confidence gets knocked, or we don’t like ourselves very much.
We can all feel like this at times, but when we feel like this for a long time, it can become a problem. Whatever affects your confidence or self-esteem, it’s important to remember that you have the right to feel good about yourself.
