Everyone has a mental
picture of who they are, how they look, what their good at, and what their
weaknesses might be. We develop this picture over time, starting when we're
very young. The term self-image
is used to refer to a person's mental picture of himself or herself. A lot of
our self-image is based on interactions we have with other people and our life
experiences. This mental picture contributes to our self-esteem.
Self-esteem is all about
how much we feel valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others — and
how much we value, love, and accept ourselves. People with healthy self-esteem
are able to feel good about them, take pride in their abilities, skills, and
accomplishments. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like
them or accept them or that they can't do well in anything.
