What Is Self-esteem? What Causes High Or Low Self Esteem And What Important Role Does It Play In Determining?

I see it as self-belief…how much faith you have in what you are and what you do…
High self-esteem can come from confidence, being happy with looks, self assurance that all is ok in the world, while low self-esteem can be the opposite to these, can stem from bullying, no strong encouragement or support from those around them..
Whichever a persons esteem – each persons life is very much determined by their approach to people, events & the obstacles they may come across

Self confidence or how good you feel about yourself. We usually accept other people’s opinion of themselves. Sometimes kids are told that they aren’t any good or can’t do anything. Sometimes they are not given a chance to do anything that is worthwile and they are never praised when they do something. Sometimes kids are very sensitive to criticism and they take something that is said or they take something in other people’s actions as being something that the people did not mean as criticsm or as a put down.
High self esteem is usually caused by being able to do things well and being affirmed for it. Being needed can be a boost to self esteem.

oh goodness i have no self-esteem i cant controle it well the main reason is that i dnot is how i grew up i have lived in a wonderful home but my mom has be devorsed 3 times and her last marriage was with a drunk so yeah i dont like myself cuz i had to mature and well i didnt have a good appearense when i was yunger so now that i am older and i guys liken me i dotn like it cuz i hate myself and dont think eney of them deserv me at all. so yeah it is just how u grew up and how u feel about urself.

I would think that it is a belief in human dignity in general and also towards oneself.
