What does your score mean?

According to this test, you have a reasonably high level of self-esteem. There is, however, still some room for improvement. You seem to experience some doubt about your own abilities, occasional feelings of inadequacy and possibly even question your own self-worth from time to time. Essentially, you sometimes get caught up in a vicious circle; if you believe that you cannot do something, your belief causes you to think and behave in a way that leads to your eventual failure. Although your self-esteem is generally healthy, and some insecurity is normal, it certainly can't hurt to give your confidence a boost. There is a wide range of resources available out there on the subject, why not check them out? You'll certainly see the long-term benefits - increased confidence, better relationships, less anxiety and an overall improved sense of well-being.

My thoughts
In terms of my self-esteem I feel I have come a long way in the past year. I remember when people did wrong by me or things weren't going my way I would just accept it which would bring me down as I felt I never had control over my life. I was never able to live on my own values and beliefs and that was killing me on the inside. I tend to bottle things up and I was a bomb waiting to explode. I think in the past year I have been more open and expressive with who I am and how I feel which has been great for myself esteem. It feels like a weight off my shoulders just letting things that upset me out. Though there are still somethings I don't open up about I feel I have come a long way.
