Self-awareness is the first requisite to building your self-esteem, that along with self-acceptance can do wonders in treating ill-confidence at its root. Nobody can manipulate you to believe the worst of yourself if you know all there is to know about yourself (the good, the bad, the ugly, the seriously ugly and the absolutely good). Often our character traits can be misconstrued for the wrong things because the world is filled with all kinds of people that see things from different angles, some really just misunderstand and some intend to diminish our self-esteem. If you lack self-awareness, you basically make it easy for detractors to maneuver through your defenses and lie to you about your self-worth and you’ll most likely believe it because you lack self-knowledge. How, after all, can you argue with what you do not understand. However, if you know your blind spots, weaknesses and strengths, you’re empowered enough to stand up and say: NO! You are wrong, I am not a bad person, I’m just practicing self-love, I’m not boring, I’m just introverted, I’m not overly sensitive or lack people skills, I’m just empathic and feel easily. Who you are is entirely up to you. You are who you say you are, but to practice that assertiveness, you have to KNOW WHO YOU ARE so you can tell it to the world instead of the world telling you who you are. Which is what this book aims at helping you with.
