Low self-worth can lead to unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can worsen your mood and lower your quality of life. For example, you may constantly criticize yourself, not voice your needs, or tolerate disrespectful behavior from others. You don’t have to feel great about yourself all the time. It is important to make room for all of your thoughts and feelings. However, if you notice your sense of self-worth is consistently low, it may be worthwhile to practice some ways to strengthen your sense of self, as doing so can create more helpful behavior and boost your mood and well-being.
