Self-esteem can feel like a fragile construct, easily shaken by the judgments of others or our inner critic. You might find yourself second-guessing decisions, feeling unworthy of success or love, and constantly comparing yourself to those around you. It’s common to feel like you’re in a battle, wondering if you measure up or will always be seen as less than. Despite this, you have an inner strength that is more powerful than you might realize. You’ve navigated through difficult times, and the fact that you’re seeking help shows incredible courage. Your self-doubt does not define you; you have the capacity to rebuild your self-worth and embrace who you truly are.
