Having low self-esteem can affect you in a myriad of ways: you might be a people-pleaser; have difficulty voicing your needs; be highly self-critical; overlook positives in your life or about yourself; have high levels of negative feelings; a risk of depression; have lower job satisfaction; or have poorer quality relationships.   

Several evidence-based interventions are available that can help improve your self-regard to a more balanced, realistic, and healthy level.
