Do you struggle to feel good about yourself? Do you tend to be hard on yourself and undermine your abilities? Do you find it uncomfortable to receive a compliment? Does this impact your relationships with others and your willingness to take part in activities that interest you? 

​

Struggling with self-esteem and self-confidence can feel like carrying an invisible weight that affects every aspect of life. It’s a constant battle between wanting to believe in yourself and the nagging voice of self-doubt that whispers you’re not enough. Everyday situations—speaking up in a group, making decisions, or even looking in the mirror—can trigger feelings of inadequacy. You might overanalyze your words and actions, convinced that others are judging you as harshly as you judge yourself. Achievements feel hollow, as if they don’t truly belong to you, while mistakes feel like proof of your unworthiness. Social media, comparisons, and past experiences only amplify the struggle, reinforcing the idea that everyone else has it figured out except you. Over time, this self-doubt can become paralyzing, leading to avoidance, perfectionism, or seeking external validation to fill the void. But the truth is, self-worth isn’t something to be earned—it’s something you already have, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.
