Having high self-confidence doesn’t mean to love yourself no matter what you do. Consequently, guilt, fear, regret, and self-reproach do have their place when appropriate.
Low self-confidence, however, often means treating yourself harshly even when you did nothing wrong. Similarly, being inferior and feeling inferior are two different things. Oprah may be superior to you as a presenter (and richer too), but the idea of her superiority in these areas shouldn’t bother you at all.
Realistically acknowledging someone’s superiority without being bothered by it is healthy and natural. Whereas, feeling inferior, or having an inferiority complex, is a whole other story. And this is where Low self-confidence starts to show up.
Our very insightful assessment below is designed to evaluate your current levels of self-confidence. If you score too low, do not worry: Being aware of the problem is the first step to the solution and therefore, Self-Confidence is something we can help you cultivate
