What Is Self-Esteem?

It's not confidence—it's how you see your worth as a person

The Definition:

Self-esteem = How much you value yourself, regardless of external success or validation

Self-Esteem (Inner)

"I'm worthy of love and respect, even when I mess up"
Stays stable despite external circumstances
Based on self-acceptance

Confidence (Outer)

•"I'm good at public speaking"
•Changes based on skills/performance
•Based on competence

Key Difference:

Confidence = "I can do this task"

Self-esteem = "I'm valuable as a person, whether I succeed or fail"

The Truth: You can be confident in your job but still have low self-esteem. They're separate things.

What would you do?

Someone compliments your presentation. Inside, you think: 'They're just being nice. It wasn't actually good.' What's happening?
