From the story in Numbers 13:33:
The spies sent to survey the land saw themselves as grasshoppers and so were they seen.
Your height, size, colour or race has nothing on you but your thought patterns do. So a guy wants to approach a lady but he is threatened by her looks. Likewise a lady in a relationship with a serial cheater will rather remain there because she feels being disrespected is better than being alone.

Some of us in a bit not to be seen as proud we self-sabotage our images consciously or unconsciously;
●We minimize our abilities
● Make unfair comparisons
● Negative self projection
You devalue your capabilities so you fit in. Making unfair comparisons by seeing yourself as not good enough such that when compliments are given to you, you immediately deny it because there are already limiting projections in your head.
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see a disaster waiting to happen or you see a unique light waiting to manifest?
Mind you, a good image doesn't happen overnight. You have to ensure you continuously upskill yourself, improve your physical appearance, feed your inner man, socialise with like-minded people and give your inputs when necessary. You can't say you are unique and we are not seeing the manifestation.
If there are no practical evidences backing your claims and affirmations, you are likened to an empty barrel or cymbal making the loudest noise.
Having a good image is important but having a backing evidence is very important.
There are additional elements needed to improve your image. These are the use of wisdom in combination with time.
■ Wisdom

Wisdom is not just about knowledge or intelligence, but also about having a deeper understanding of life and what really matters. It's about finding a balance between knowledge and emotion, and knowing how to make decisions that are both rational and compassionate.
Wisdom is not static, it's something that we can cultivate and grow throughout our lives.
We can practice making decisions with both our head and our heart, balancing logic and emotion. We can also try to be more open-minded and willing to consider different perspectives.
■ Time
How to cultivate wisdom is through reading and learning from others.Create time to read books, articles, and other materials about wisdom and philosophy these can help us gain new perspectives and insights.
One of the best ways to develop wisdom is through reflection and introspection.
Taking time to think about our experiences and learn from them can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
