Are you good enough?

What is it?

Self-confidence is your belief in your ability to handle life’s challenges, while self-esteem reflects your overall sense of self-worth. When these are low, it can lead to constant self-doubt, fear of failure, and difficulty recognizing your value. These patterns often develop from negative experiences, criticism, or unmet emotional needs—and can silently affect every aspect of life.
