High self-esteem – or better, balanced self-esteem – is the foundation on which we build healthy, loving, and fulfilling lives. Do you have high self-esteem, average self-esteem, or low self-esteem … and how does this impact your life? Take our free test to find out.
It shows that I have a high self esteem and I understand that self esteem and self worth are different as said in the article about self worth but the shadow work article says that one needs to not have a low self worth before beginning with it and this quiz link is shared there. The thing is that I know for sure I have low self worth and meet all the bullet points in the self worth so I am kind of confused whether I should start with shadow work or not.
The issue with the quiz is that it doesn’t accurately show if I have low or high self-esteem if I am answering honestly. For instance, grey is the closest to my favorite color silver so I chose that. It’s very obviously going to put a negative mark on the quiz and push the result to say I have lower self-esteem. I have a hard time looking in the mirror because I’m trans, not because I have low self-esteem. I just don’t want to see my chest reflected back to me. My self-esteem is pretty good. I’m not daring, adventurous, etc. I’m creative, compassionate, empathic, and a private individual when around strangers. I was taught to be wary of others and watch how they interact with the world before approaching and letting them into my life. The quiz doesn’t help me, and there are too few answers provided to accurately paint an answer. It’s too coded for my liking.
I’m Ok with this result, but I’m unconfortable when it sometimes clashes with other people around me. I don’t mean to be rude or selfish towards them, but sometimes when I honestly express my thoughts or I say no, I feel that it can disturb them. It’s not something I don’t care, but I can live with it.
Since other people have been putting quotes they live by and whatnot i just wanted to say that i have a low self esteem and I try to live by a quote from Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols
“I’m not here for your entertainment, I’m here for mine.” It reminds me I’m not part of a system and everyone has a free will.
“Medium Self-Esteem” is some good news to me. I had struggled with extreme self-hate for over a decade and it almost put me in my grave. Articles on your site made working on myself so much easier. I’m no longer scared of therapy, Shadow Work, Inner Child work etc. I’m hoping more people will read these and find some light in their darkest times. I’m also sure you already know it but, yeah — you’re awesome!
i hope youve been well w/ quarantine
Agreee this is a wonderful site for people to work on themselves, love ourselves and treat others with kindness .
This world today seems to be full of haters, mean people, greedy people and judging others and the worse is how materialistic the world is today !!
I miss the 60’s of free love !!
I live by the quotation attributed to Groucho Marx . . .
“I would never want to join a club that would have me as a member”. We are all sinners and have come short of the glory of God and even our most righteous behavior is as a filthy rag to the Lord our Creator. That is why I have low self-esteem.
“Somewhere along the way, you came to falsely believe that “you aren’t worth it” which has been reflected in the way you perceive yourself and other people.”
How do you know it’s a false belief? To paraphrase Woody Allen, “Just because you have low self-esteem doesn’t mean you’re not a loser.”
I don’t think using Wood Allen as a muse of wisdom is best, he embodies a self-pitying insecure cynic that doesn’t make his point of view very relevant.
It can’t be a false belief because it’s not relying on beliefs at all. Everyone is innately worthy, just the fact that they’re alive is already a miracle as the opposite would be a lack of existence. What exactly is being a ‘loser’ when we analyze it? Not fitting in with a certain social standard? That’s just being different. Not being good at a particular skill/task? That requires more practice or otherwise changing tasks to something we may be good at.
I really think I am starting the journey to fully discover my self. Usually the personality tests or temperaments tests do nothing on helping us discover our selves and feel the voids in our souls.
I haven’t met you in person but Aletheia thank your so much
I really appreciate all that you guys do to help me and everyone else. Y’all are amazing and beautiful souls who are doing what you are called to do from our creator. I love you guys. Thanks
I was looking to evaluate my new brother -in -law as he looks troubled. I do not know hardly anything about him. The first thing that came to my mind was martyr. Don’t ask me what I was thinking.
I became.intetested. As I started reading the many sites. Some of it struck home and I started to look at myself. One of the first thing that I recall was the tremendous daily physical and mental abuse by my dad. This happened to me for many years after I left high school. I was depressed and had no self worth. I thought that this treatment was normal. How would I know different. I couldn’t talk or carry on a conversation. That all changed 9 years ago when I met my wife. We both suffered a lot of the same abuse. She saw in me things she had herself endured in her childhood. For the first time in life I felt that someone cared and I was an equal. We were there for each other, the first time for me.
Communication is no longer an issue as we now talk about everything. Life is wonderful.
God does some wonderful acts.in the world and.this was.ftom him. Praise the Lord.
I have had a pretty hard life as we all do at some point. I thought my life was at anight end, I had no where to turn, so I thought, I came across your page going through the Internet. To find that I wasn’t the only struggle with life and couldn’t understand all the emtions I was feeling,seeing, hearing,near enough everything . People’s emtions animal emtions I could feel sof sick at time’s. Reading and learning through what you both have been through & all the help for me, and thousands others. Yous are so a great survivor for many in life. My life is change and I’m on a more balanced path than ever before. I stilloyds struggle from time to time with overwhelmed emotions mostly of what I absorb from those closest to me. But Im learning all the time. If I didn’t come across your website that day, I honestly can’t say, I don’t know where I would be just now. You both have my most utter respect, love, Care from my heart. Which I felt the most ever abundance of love and it is the most beautiful experience in life. Much love to you both lots of love sharon campbell
