“As another example, imagine two people at a dance. Both lack confidence in their dancing skills, but one has healthy self-esteem and the other does not. The person with high self-esteem is able to have fun with their friends, busting out moves and acting silly on the dance floor, unfazed by what other people think. But the person with low self-esteem may not even set foot on the dance floor, fearing that everyone will notice how ridiculous they look. Low self-esteem holds us back and makes us dwell on our insecurities or low levels of confidence. Healthy self-esteem allows us to see beyond moments of self-doubt and enjoy life without unnecessary fear.”
