Decoding Self-Esteem Misconceptions and Building Confidence
Self-esteem is not about being awesome, but rather about the gap between your ideal self and your real self. High self-esteem occurs when your real self aligns with your ideal self, while low self-esteem happens when there is a significant gap between the two. To improve self-esteem, you can either work to bring your real self closer to your ideal self, which may not always be realistic, or adjust your ideal self to align with your reality. Understanding that every trait you possess has both positive and negative effects on the world can help you bridge the gap between your ideal self and real self, ultimately boosting your self-esteem.
