All our knowledge has its origins in our perceptions
Impression formation is a process in which information about other people are transformed into more or less enduring cognition or thoughts about them. In addition, the impressions that you make of people is a good indicator of your reactions to them. And more often than not, the way by which you form your impressions of others also tells you how you see yourself. Hence, people with low self-esteem rarely think anything good about themselves or of other people. Conversely, people with high self-esteem cannot believe anything bad about themselves and of others.
On enhancing your self-esteem
Make an effort to think positively about yourself. Believe that
you have it in you to become a great person. The potential to be great is
within you
Indulge in more self-affirming thoughts. In so doing you will
maintain your self-confidence, protect yourself from anxiety and depression,
and sustain your senses of well-being.
Above all, strive to do well in any situation. Become a
self-actualizer and make full use of your potentials.
