the right kind of positive feedback from someone can really give me a self esteem boost although it's not usually a stable one

IG, it's not stable because you are depending on someone else to give you that little boost. Hopefully this will encourage you to take stock of your strengths and attributes so that you don't need to depend on anyone else for them. Someone else will always let you down because no one is perfect. You can't depend on someone else as well as you can depend on yourself. After all, you're the best judge of what you need and don't need.
