I think part of that "high" when you purchase something is a type of self-medicating...the endorphins dump into your system then, and you feel better.

As for low self esteem... well, I have a different take on self esteem in that I say we can't personally increase our own self esteem by "working on it". When we give to others, when we voluteer, or otherwise help others, that reward is feeling better about ourselves, our self worth etc.

Just my POVs.
