Enesehinnangus

Enesehinnangus, also known as self-esteem, refers to an individual's subjective evaluation of their own worth. It is a complex psychological concept that encompasses beliefs about oneself, as well as emotional states such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame. Enesehinnangus is not a static trait but rather a dynamic construct that can fluctuate over time and in response to various life experiences.

High enesehinnangus is generally associated with positive emotions, a sense of confidence, and the ability to cope effectively with challenges. Individuals with high self-esteem tend to believe in their own capabilities, value themselves, and are more likely to take on new tasks and persevere in the face of setbacks. They often have healthy relationships and are more resilient to criticism.

Conversely, low enesehinnangus is characterized by self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and a negative self-view. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and difficulty in forming or maintaining relationships. Individuals with low self-esteem may avoid challenges, be overly sensitive to criticism, and struggle to recognize their own strengths.

Factors influencing enesehinnangus are multifaceted and can include upbringing, social interactions, personal achievements and failures, and societal influences. Childhood experiences, particularly the quality of relationships with caregivers, play a significant role in shaping early self-perceptions. As individuals mature, feedback from peers, successes in academic or professional pursuits, and the development of personal values contribute to their evolving sense of self-worth. Societal expectations and comparisons with others can also impact enesehinnangus.
