Weakness and failure
Self-esteem
The value we place on ourselves and how we feel about who we are.
What the Bible can tell you
I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well.
Psalms 139:14
For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
Romans 12:3
God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.
Genesis 1:27
A human reading
Healthy self-esteem is not thinking you are superior, but recognizing your worth without comparing yourself. Start by noticing what you do well and stop demanding the impossible. When you respect yourself, you also respect others better.
