To me, self-esteem is not self-love. It is self-acknowledgment, as in recognizing and accepting who you are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Self-esteem is a powerful force within each of us... Self-esteem is the experience that we are appropriate to life and to the requirements of life.
I am not someone who throws around the word 'self-esteem.' It is a fictional description.
Self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable. Lovable means I feel people want to be with me. They invite me to parties; they affirm I have the qualities necessary to be included. Feeling capable is knowing that I can produce a result. It's knowing I can handle anything that life hands me.
Self-love has very little to do with how you feel about your outer self. It's about accepting all of yourself.
Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.
Self-esteem comes from who you have in your life. How you were raised. What you struggled with as a child.
Well, we all know that self-esteem comes from what you think of you, not what other people think of you.
I think self-esteem is fluid. It's not a fixed state, and so some days are better than others.
Self-love then does not constitute THIS or THAT to be our interest or good; but, our interest or good being constituted by nature and supposed, self-love only puts us upon obtaining and securing it.
Self-esteem is made up primarily of two things: feeling lovable and feeling capable.
