It is generally accepted that self-admiration is a rather shameful process, closely connected with egoism and even narcissism.

But in fact, the term denotes the internal state of a person in which he is primarily interested in himself, his successes, his strengths.

Is self-admiration useful? In certain situations, it can certainly be useful.

Psychologists have explained when exactly self-admiration can provide invaluable support to a person.

Take note

Thinking about yourself and your achievements is useful especially for those people who have unstable self-esteem.

In addition, self-admiration will help people who tend to constantly criticize themselves or compare themselves with other people.

To prevent this process from becoming a process that alienates others, it is always important to remember objectivity and a sense of proportion.

Have you done something objectively good or talented? You objectively have the right to loudly declare yourself, pointing out to others your victory.

It is very important to just point it out and not start praising yourself incessantly.
