What does a low self-worth mean?
Low self-worth means that you have a poor opinion of yourself, and so do others. It affects your behavior, especially in social situations and with other people. You may feel that you’re not good enough or worthy of respect or attention from others.
Low self-worth can also be a symptom of depression or anxiety. Low self-worth is very common among those with low self-esteem because it’s an extension of that belief. There are many different reasons for low self-worth, including genetics, trauma, abuse and family dynamics. The good news is that it can be changed; there are ways to build confidence and overcome low self-worth so you can live a happier life.

What Causes Low Self-Worth?
• Dejected childhood where parents (or other significant people such as teachers) were extremely critical
• Poor academic performance in school or place of work resulting in a lack of confidence
• Problems in relationships and finances
• Health issues
• Mental issues such as anxiety disorder or depression

What does high a level of self-worth mean?
• Having a high level of self-worth means having a favorable opinion or estimate of yourself. It shows an indefatigable faith in yourself and in your ability to follow through and get things done properly.

• A high degree of self-worth means feeling worthy of good things. It means feeling deserving of all the good things life has to offer— irrespective of the difficulties you face, the disappointments you experience, or of other people’s opinions.

• To have a high level of self-worth means accepting yourself wholeheartedly despite flaws, weaknesses, or limitations. It’s all about seeing the real value of who you are.

• Having a high level of self-worth means never allowing yourself to be defined by external forces, including people’s opinions. It basically means never letting outcomes or opinions to shake your confidence, faith or resolve.

All these means that no matter what happens, you are steadfast. Nothing influences how you feel about yourself. Your influence and perception are the only things that matters. You are the most significant factor about how you feel about your life, yourself, and your circumstances. And that is basically where you acquire your personal power.

How to build your self-worth?
The starting point is to analyze what you’re doing that’s holding you back. If you want more confidence, if you want people to see your value, if you want better opportunities, then step back and really consider what obstacles are keeping you from accomplishing these things. Are they internal or external? What do they look like? When do they show up? How can you overcome them? And how can you make a plan for turning those no’s into yeses?
Building your self-worth is a lot of work, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Just lay out your goals, identify your problems and write down plans for working around those issues.

The following are some tips for improving your self-worth;
• Make a list of all of your positive qualities, strengths, and accomplishments.
• Avoid dwelling on past mistakes or negative traits by looking at things positively; concentrate on your successes over failures.
• Focus on who you are currently as an individual rather than where you’re going later on in life, but don’t forget to make goals.
• Acknowledge other people’s achievements without comparing yourself too much; focus more on what they do right than wrong.
• Receive compliments well; have a positive response ready, but be gracious rather than arrogant about it–never belittle others!
• Overcome shyness if you can, because those with high self-esteem tend to enjoy social situations more.
• Reach out and start conversations with new people; network through your contacts.
• Find friends who can support your dreams and interests and rely on them when times get rough so you remember why you’re pushing forward despite any challenges.
• In order to better yourself every day, develop healthy habits like eating properly, getting enough sleep (eight hours per night), exercising regularly (exercising improves mood and releases endorphins which result in good feelings), being proactive (the best kind of preparation is preventative action).
• If possible keep stress levels under control through relaxation techniques like meditation or even listening to music.

Other suggestions for building self-worth include:

• Challenging negative self-talk and speaking to yourself positively
Engaging in negative self-talk influences how you see yourself generally. It is advisable to object to every negative thought or idea going through your head as it may result in a lack of sense-love or self-appreciation. Hence, it is advisable to release positive affirmative words to yourself daily to boost your self-worth.

• Understand what makes you valuable
Start by doing an honest self-assessment. In most cases, a lack of self-worth stems from a belief that we’re not valuable. So ask yourself some tough questions: What skills do you have? How can you create value in other people’s lives? Is there something you’re naturally good at or a way you can bring out your natural strengths even more? When we begin taking inventory of our talents and strengths, we start realizing what makes us valuable.
One powerful method for gaining clarity about your worth is to list all of your assets—not just tangible things like houses and cars but also resources like experience, knowledge, and relationships—and review those assets whenever you feel unsure about how valuable you are. You may discover new opportunities or passions during this process—yet another reason why knowing ourselves well is so important.

• Avoid comparing yourself to other people
One step to self-destruction is by comparing oneself to other people. Doing that only makes you feel less of yourself especially if the people you’re comparing yourself to have more accomplishments than you do. The best thing in life is to always remember that we all have our race to run and it’s not always about how far, it’s about how well we do in life. A rough start doesn’t necessarily result in a rough ending. Take your time to relax and cut yourself some slack.

• Ask for feedback
If you’re trying to increase your self-worth, it can be helpful to reflect on what other people have said about you. (And, no, not in a negative way—that just makes you feel worse.) The problem is that most of us don’t get much positive feedback from others; our partners might say we look nice or something like that, but that’s about it. If you want more people around you saying nice things about you, then start asking for feedback—but do it appropriately and respectfully so as not to offend.

• Notice what others value in you
Before you can begin raising your self-worth, you have to be able to see yourself clearly and accurately. This doesn’t mean berating yourself for things that are out of your control (age, height, family background, etc.)—it means truly listening to what people around you have to say about whom you are and what is important. Listen specifically for compliments; there’s a reason we try so hard to get them! But also pay attention when someone points out something they don’t like. Believe it or not, they’re really trying to help—and chances are there’s a way for you to improve in that area without compromising your self-worth.

• Forget about the past
We all have flaws and mistakes that we’ve made in the past that we are not proud to talk about. We often waste time thinking about how we could have done certain things differently, how we could change what happened. But what we seem to forget is that they are all in the past and they don’t define our present or future.
