How is self-image related to your


self esteem?
Self Esteem is how you feel about and value yourself.
Image is about how you see yourself and how you
believe others see you. They are closely connected
because if you see yourself in a certain way, your self
esteem will reflect that.
Self image is one factor in your self esteem. A poor
self image will result in low self esteem. A positive self
image helps a person to feel better about themselves
Self Image is to do with perception.
Your perception is not reality, but it is your own inner
idea of reality. Your mind filters everything and
colours it according to your values and thinking.
You might see yourself as forgiving, but others may
see you in quite a different way. You might believe
that hat you are wearing looks silly on you, but others
may think it suits you or makes you look smart.
How you see yourself is vital because this will affect
your behaviour, your thinking and how you relate to
others. People respond to you either positively or
negatively according to how confident you are. Your
confidence in relationships depends on the image you
have of yourself.
