# Hard on Yourself

Low self-worth is strong across your answers, and it's holding you back from things you actually want. That's painful, and it's also very workable. Self-esteem isn't fixed; therapy is genuinely good at helping people rebuild it.

What this usually looks like

* Feeling not good enough, often
* Worth that collapses when things go wrong
* Holding back because of self-doubt

This is a self-reflection check, not a diagnosis. Low self-esteem can overlap with anxiety and depression; a psychologist can help.
