Greetings Exalted Ones,

Having low self esteem is described like "one's inability to accept himself"

So, description says the verb "accept". Okay, well. BUT, which meaning is the verb "accept" used?

"to recognize that something is true, fair, or right", which means we are good in fact but we can't recognize our good aspects or features etc.

or

"to recognize that a bad situation exists and cannot be avoided or changed", which means we are bad(unskilled, stupid, idiot, coward or any bad adjective that can substitute for the adjective "bad") in many aspect, perhaps in every aspect and way.

Which one?
