For the Negatives yes

mostly on the negative side it should be a positive booster, however, it should be a held in check by self esteem and humility, not to allow others to blow out of proportion and allowing then oneself to feel more than one is. Thus you should be what you see and constantly strive to make that better not allowing outside influence to deter you in that endeavor whether or not the outside party sees you better than you are or less, as ultimately you are the only truth to yourself that should matter.
