What are external/internal influences that may affect how a person feels about him/herself?

Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself. Aim for accomplishments rather than perfection. View mistakes as learning opportunities. Try new things. Recognize what you can change and what you can't. Set goals. Take pride in your opinions and ideas. Exercise! Have fun. Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. People with high self-esteem do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with peers and adults, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes, disappointments, and failures, and are more likely to stick with something until they succeed. It takes some work, but it's a skill you'll have for life.
