A manifestation of strong self-esteem

The main manifestations of strong self-esteem include liking to compare with others, sensitivity to criticism, habit of defense, difficulty admitting mistakes, and a tendency to pursue perfection. People with strong self-esteem tend to exhibit typical psychological characteristics and behavioral patterns in their daily lives.

1. People with strong self-esteem often compare themselves to others in various aspects, including appearance, abilities, achievements, etc. They often confirm their value and status through this comparison. Some people even deliberately showcase their life details on social media to gain recognition and envy from others. Behind this behavior lies a sense of uncertainty about one's own value.

Secondly, people who are sensitive to criticism

are particularly concerned about external evaluations, and even slight negative feedback can trigger strong emotional reactions. When they hear criticism, they may feel extremely uneasy and even develop anger. In order to protect their self-esteem, they sometimes selectively ignore criticism or rationalize it as the other person's mistake.

III. Habitual Defense

In order to prevent self-esteem from being undermined, people with strong self-esteem often establish a rigorous psychological defense mechanism. They always find reasons in advance for their possible failures, such as environmental factors or other factors. When interacting with others, they often unconsciously shift responsibility onto others in order to maintain their perfect image.

4. Difficulty Admitting Mistakes

It is difficult for people with strong self-esteem to admit their mistakes. They are afraid of negative evaluations and feelings of inferiority caused by making mistakes. Even when faced with obvious mistakes, they may have various reasons to prove their actions are correct or try to cover up their mistakes. This approach will cause damage to interpersonal relationships in the long run.

V. Tending to pursue perfection

The characteristic of demanding high standards of oneself and others is common among people with strong self-esteem. They strive to do their best to prove their value, but this excessive pursuit of perfection may bring additional pressure. When the expected goals cannot be achieved, it can actually trigger a stronger sense of self doubt. Moderate self-esteem can help maintain mental health, but it requires special attention when it is too strong. It is recommended that people with these behaviors try to reduce their attention to others' evaluations and learn to accept imperfect versions of themselves and others. Communicating genuine thoughts with family and friends, cultivating self acceptance skills, can also help improve this situation.
