Every time you succeed or fail doesn't automatically register on your self-esteem. It only does if you think it is a reflection on you.

Introduction
Do you spend a lot of time comparing yourself to other people, worrying about what others think of you, struggling to say 'no' to people, or getting angry about unimportant things?
Introduction to Social Psychology is a course offered by the University of Queensland, where instructors Roy Baumeister and Blake McKimmie are both professors of psychology.
Baumeister's research covers free will, aggression, sex, and self-deception, while McKimmie focuses primarily on psychology and law.
This course will help you understand why you feel unreasonably guilty, bad, or mad in social situations and how you can learn to better control your instincts and influence others.
