<p>This post <em>&#8220;Increase your self-esteem by stopping putting others on a pedestal and putting yourself down &#8220;</em> continues with how you can increase your self-esteem by managing your thoughts and feelings.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Increase your self-esteem by stopping putting others on a pedestal and putting yourself down (1 minute read)</strong></h2>
<p>Both devaluation &#8211; putting yourself and others down as terrible persons and idealization &#8211; putting yourself and others on a pedestal as if being flawless are considered to be image-distorting. Nobody is either perfect or worthless. We all have good sides and sides that can become bad if we do not watch out.</p>
<p>Like most defense mechanisms, we often are not aware when we are doing this. It is done subconsciously as a way to protect us from anxiety, fear and stress.</p>
<p>It is common in borderline personality disorder to rapidly and unpredictably shift from great admiration and feeling close to an intense anger or dislike towards the same person.</p>
<p>This wild shift is called splitting. It is a disturbance in both thinking and the ability to adjust one’s feelings. More specifically, it is about challenges in seeing both the good and the bad in one person when under pressure and stress.</p>
<p>Idealization of self and devaluation of others is also seen in other personality disorders, such as antisocial and narcissistic personality disorder.</p>

<h1>Why mirroring is important for increasing your self-esteem (1 minute read)</h1>



<p>This post continues with how you can feel better during this crisis by developing both your self-esteem and your self-confidence.</p>



<p>The latest posts have been about how you can use mirroring to enhance your self-esteem, among other things, by reading your positive traits aloud to yourself. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Why mirroring is important for increasing your self-esteem</h2>



<p>There are important therapeutic and developmental processes such as reflection and validation, when one becomes and feels psychologically understood and seen by getting confirmations from another person who is reflecting one’s state. One can learn to mirror oneself and thus give oneself some of the necessary validations that we need to get to get to know ourselves, feel understood and maintain good mental health.</p>



<p>Try this:</p>



<p>Study today how mirroring is present and absent around you.</p>



<p>Notice if you can see any changes in the state of the other person when you mirror that person.</p>
