This is something I am pondering on at the moment.
Self-Esteem is basicly your feelings and thoughts about yourself, and is developed throughout your life.
A low self-esteem can cause many problems like; Depression, Stress, and loneliness. This is just a very short list.
Showing Good self-esteem is to be able to feel worthiness, treating yourself right, treating others right, and so on.
Self-Respect is the respect you have for yourself as a person, or conduct. To respect is to regard, politeness, honor and positive behavior. This can be twords animals, people, and plants.
To respect yourself is to think positivly twords yourself as a person, who you are and what you are.
You know we all need self esteem and self respect to help keep us out of depression, but do you think they are basicly the same thing, or totally different?
And which one do you think we need more?
Hope to get some good answers :)
