    Low and High Self-esteem

    The self-esteem It is the self-concept or perception that a person has of himself. It is a construction that begins to form in the childhood and continues throughout life. This self-concept is modified or altered depending on personal experiences and the environment in which the person grows and develops.

    Who I am, how I am, what my body is like, what things I like, how is my performance at work or in social relationships; the answers that a person gives to all these questions form the image that he has of himself.

    Types of self-esteem

    Self-esteem is related to concepts such as self-worth and self-confidence. It is commonly divided between high and low.

    Both types of self-esteem can be directed to some specific attributes of the person or to the person in general. For example:
