(Texas, 2013) Different Types of Self-esteem
Healthy and High self-esteem
Individuals with a healthy self-esteem are more likely to be honest, open and have a better way to communicate with others. People with high self-esteem are confident, happy, self-caring, trustworthy and independent. On the other hand, sometimes these types of people take advantage of this, and tend to bully others who have a lower self-esteem, thus making others people lives a misery.
Poor and Low self-esteem

  • Explain Two Links Between An Individual's Identity, Self-Esteem And Self Esteem

    1372 Words  | 6 Pages

    There are a few links between an individual’s identity, self-esteem and self-image. An individual’s identity is them, their age, their name, ethnicity and background, their family, also their language and education. Their self-esteem means how much they actually value themselves and lastly their self-image is how they view themselves or see themselves. If they have no identity, for example if they are afraid of how others might see them this links to a low self-esteem which can lead to social isolation and/or they might suffer from depression, then their self-image may then suffer such as they forget to look after their personal appearance, hygiene and how they used to dress. On the other hand if they are happy and confidence with their identity then the individual is most likely to look after themselves and their personal image more such as the way they look, dress, eat healthily and exercise etc.
