Low Self-esteem

Your self-esteem affects how you live your life, but it is fragile. If you have low self-esteem, you might be always trying to please other people, or go 'above and beyond' at work or with your friends and family. As long as you keep meeting the standards you may feel OK, but there will inevitably be times when it's not possible to do so, and this can quickly leave you feeling low and anxious.
