A diferença entre Autoestima e Autocompaixão

In brief

The Diocese of Guarulhos explains the distinction between self-esteem and self-compassion to help people move past harsh self-criticism.

The Diocese notes that many people mistake self-esteem for a need to feel strong, beautiful, or intelligent when looking in a mirror, even if those feelings do not reflect reality. Instead of striving to be the greatest, the Diocese suggests that individuals simply need to accept who they are.
