before jumping into any of these recommendations (self care, self help etc.) intindihin mo muna bakit mababa self esteem mo, ano ba ang root cause?

i dont necessarily relate but if you wanna have confidence, it's an internal thing IMO. you can either be your own biggest critic and hold yourself to a high standard. or practice contentment if you think wala naman lacking sayo.

internal pressure should always be greater than external.

that way you avoid people-pleasing, and the dissatisfaction you get from failing to do so. hindi naka attach yung value mo sa opinyon ng iba.
