What is self esteem to you? How would you see yourself if you had self esteem, what would be "different"?

self-confidence that is lacking due to being bullied, put down and told you are wrong all your life....having your dignity taken away from 3/4 years old.....never eing told you're loved or good enough....imho

feeking/feeling, they're "next" to each other :-)
But where does that feeling of empowerment come from? Do people with high self esteem never feel helpless at times? What happens when a person with high self esteem meets helplessness or conditions out of their control? __________________ "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance." ~Confucius |

well, its difficult for me personally to maintain a constant stream of self confidence.. getting better though..
when i need more confidence i turn to my Faith... there is an abundance of esteem there to be drawn upon... at a point in time when i am relying on faith i become more of a vessel than an individual ego requiring personal esteem.. |

Interesting page Perna. Thanks for the tip. Not sure where it comes from really. And I DO think that no matter how "self-confident" you feel, there are times when you feel low, and I think that's pretty normal.
 thanks for the insight.
