How do you define "self esteem"?
439560
Self-Esteem is the level of personal value or self worth  persons possess internally and place towards themselves. This is influenced by how persons may perceive or conceive themselves to be, which is usually regarded as Self-Concept. Therefore, if persons have a negative self-concept, chances are that their level of self-esteem will be low and negative. Conversely, if persons possess a positive concept of themselves, the level of esteem towards themselves is more than likely to be high and positive.\n\nSometimes people make the mistake of interchanging the two terms. However, though they are interrelated and indeed contingent on the other, they refer to separate, distinct aspects of human personality and behaviour.

it means to just be yourself.  Don't try to make yourself look better than you really are.

The sentence sounds like "self esteem" is an object that he is holding in the air.  Maybe:  "He walked away keeping his self esteem intact."  OR: "He walked away trying to keep his self esteem intact."

Self -concept is the mental image or perception that one has of oneself. It can be positive or negative. Self concept helps to make one happy, or unhappy depending upon whether it  is positive or negative. One has to answer the question 'who are we and how do we fit in'. We spend all our life trying to answer that question. \nPeople with positive self-concept have been known to succeed better in life, because they have the confidence in themselves.\nA negative self-concept occurs when, while growing up, we are criticized constantly or cruelly by our peers(mainly) and parents and other people around us including teachers. Having a positive concept about our outer self allows us to identify with our inner nature so that we truly feel confident and happy. \nSelf concept is developed when we are in school. That is the time we are trying to find out who we are. If at this time a negative self-concept develops, the person is going to carry that on through out their life. They will never believe in themselves, they will always need affirmations from others.\nI was constantly criticized as a child, because my parents believed that my siblings were better academically than I was. I developed a very negative self-concept. I believed that I was no good, could succeed at nothing and could do nothing. I had to practice and develop positive self-concept. It was very hard, but I did it. Even today, the negative self-concept creeps in every time I fail. But, I am more successful in life than my siblings(much to my parents surprise). I fulfilled my dream of becoming a doctor all on my own.

Love yourself. Give yourself the freedom to express yourself as yourself. "To thine own self be true" as Shakespeare said. When you start to feel insecure remind yourself that everyone is unique and different and that other people may be feeling equally insecure.

Yeah.  When you realize that high self-esteem (pride) and low self-esteem are two side of the same coin.  This lind of pride is thinking you are to great and the other think that you are not enough.  At the end of the day it is still all about you.  The best is having no self-esteem.  In which you consider yourself honestly and then move on and refocus on the One who really matter GOD.  So, yes I have had days like that.

A synonym for what what you just described (very well I might add) is Arrogance.  My experience leads me to conclude that observed arrogance in an individual is often the opposite of how it appears.  It is often a facade that is erected to hide the lack of personal awareness and identity.  \nIn the absence of this, converting and convincing others to one's belief is serves as re-affirmation to that lacking individual, as evidence that they are acceptable.  \nBecause true self esteem must come from internal and not external validation, unless recognized and changed, this external validation becomes a lifelong pursuit of a "cup" forever needing to to be filled up that cannot ever be satisfied.

A note about "self-esteem":\n\nTo anyone who's ever felt they suffer from "low self-esteem", I simply ask, Have you ever had an orgasm?  If you have, what was your opinion of your "self-esteem" during the orgasm?  Chances are, you had no opinion because you weren't thinking about anything at that moment.  Your mind was not engaged.  \n\nYour opinion of yourself, your self-image..."self-esteem" are all in your mind.  Just as you've "made up" one opinion of yourself, you can make up another one.  You've just been conditioned to operate from one opinion.  When your mind is not engaged in "routine thoughts", you are free to experience life.  How you "experience" yourself during an orgasm is much different than when you "think" about yourself.\n\nSo, to those with low self-esteem, I would suggest you have more orgasms.  Be meditative when you do so.  As you begin to drop the mind, so to will your low self-esteem drop.\n\nAs for the tendencies of many "believers", they operate from a perspective, a "conditioning" that their way is "right" and everyone else's is wrong.  Then, many are taught to either convert the "non-believers" or attack them, usually in that order.  If they truly practiced "love", then they'd know that love does not conquer.  "Love" is unconditional.  That means love does not place any conditions on giving itself.  \n\nI wish you Peace.

Self-assessment means evaluating your own performance.  On-going self-assessment is a key factor in professional development in many fields.  Simply reflecting on questions such as "What do I do well?", "What do I need to do better?" is a first step in actual improvement.  Employers realize the power of self-assessment and so it is often incorporated into the evaluation process of employees.  \n\nOne good way to get started on self-assessment is to keep a weekly or even daily journal where you reflect on what is going well, the difficulties you are encountering, and what you can do about them.  YOu can include any new initiatives you'd like to know more about.  Begin an action plan to address difficulties.\n\nI hope this helps.

Jealousy is rooted in feelings of unworthiness for me. I feel jealous if I am insecure in a relationship, or in myself. I feel jealous if I believe that I need something outside myself to be OK, something that you may have. I feel jealous if you get a nice motorcycle and I feel that I need that in order to be OK. It is all rooted in how I feel about myself. Self esteem comes from doing esteem able acts. So if I am feeling low I do something to be of service to others or I find other ways to feed my spirit. I always feel better about myself when I am living a life with a little discipline, like working out on a regular basis or keeping my house clean. That is just what works for me, only you know what works for you.

Dearie a person does not derive self esteem from what other people think, that's why its called SELF esteem.  Love yourself for more than your looks, whether its your sense of humor or kind heart these are the things that really count.  And as cliche as it might sound how will anyone ever love you if you don't love yourself!

Before you can begin to improve your self-esteem you must first believe that you can change it. Change doesn't necessarily happen quickly or easily, but it can happen. You are not powerless! Once you have accepted, or are at least willing to entertain the possibility that you are not powerless, there are three steps you can take to begin to change your self-esteem:\n\nStep 1: Rebut the Inner Critic: begin to challenge the negative messages of the critical inner voice\n\nStep 2: Practice Self-Nurturing: begin to treat yourself as a worthwhile person.\n\nStep 3: Get Help from Others: you may need the help of other people in the present to challenge the critical messages that come from negative past experiences
