Positives: You are assertive and have good boundaries, you are confident in yourself and your abilities, and you are able to form healthy relationships.

Negatives: Low self-esteem creates anxiety, it ruins your relationships with people, and it can lead to increased vulnerability to drug/alcohol use.
