High self-esteem is based on self-awareness. It includes recognizing both your strengths and weaknesses without excusing bad behavior.

Self-esteem involves self-worth and independence. It means valuing yourself, making decisions based on your own values, and not relying on others’ opinions for validation.

It’s not about outward behavior: confidence or social visibility doesn’t equal self-esteem. Even shy or quiet individuals can have high self-esteem.

Self-esteem can be improved at any stage of life. Building self-esteem strengthens your sense of control and increases life satisfaction.
