If you find certain situations difficult because of low self-esteem, you may start to avoid them and become increasingly socially isolated. This can cause feelings of anxiety and depression that can develop into mental health problems over time.

Your self-esteem and emotional strength relies solely on your manner of thinking and how you see things around you. Keeping a positive disposition with the help of your feel-good list is a simple but effective way of boosting your confidence in yourself.

Positive Self-esteem makes us feel confident, consider ourselves valuable, respect ourselves, and this greatly affects our well-being. Positive self-esteem gives us the strength and flexibility to take charge of our lives and grow from our mistakes without the fear of rejection. It reflects a person's overall subjective emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is a judgment of oneself as well as an attitude toward the self.

Positive self esteem is important because when people experience it, they feel and look good, are effective and productive, and they respond to others and themselves in healthy, positive, growing ways.

People with low self esteem attempt to hide their sense of inferiority behind arrogance. They pretend to know everything when in fact they may be ignorant of many things. They feel inferior to accept knowledge from others. They think that whatever they know is sufficient and that there is no need of knowing anything more. New ideas, new concepts are a no-no to them.

Live in the moment. When you are focused on the moment, you can choose your actions consciously and wisely, unaffected by the hurts of your past and unconcerned by worries or hopes about the future. Develop awareness. When we’re aware, we can recognize how we are responding and reacting to our own fears, creating a moment between our emotions and our actions. We can then choose to respond in a healthier way.
