Is low self-esteem better or high self-esteem better

Low self-esteem and high self-esteem each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and which one is better needs to be judged based on individual circumstances. Low self-esteem may manifest as being cautious and humble but prone to self doubt, while high self-esteem may bring confidence but may also be accompanied by excessive self centeredness. People with high self-esteem usually have strong confidence in their own abilities, are more willing to take the initiative to try when faced with challenges, have relatively good stress resistance, and are more likely to establish a sense of boundaries in interpersonal communication. But if high self-esteem lacks a realistic foundation, it may evolve into arrogance, leading to tense interpersonal relationships or decision-making mistakes. Individuals with low self-esteem often pay more attention to others' evaluations and tend to avoid risks in their behavior patterns. They may pay more attention to details and others' feelings in team collaboration, but long-term self deprecation may lead to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Factors that affect self-esteem levels include childhood experiences, social comparison habits, achievement feedback, etc. In psychological intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy is often used to adjust irrational self-awareness and help individuals establish a balanced self-evaluation system.

If you have been troubled by self-esteem issues for a long time, you can seek professional psychological counseling to explore suitable psychological adjustment strategies through group counseling or individual counseling, and establish a healthier self-worth system.
