I believe that self-love is the most important kind of love there is. If we don't love ourselves, how can we EVER love anyone else truly?

Take care

Confidence to me is a very important quality that I look for in a guy. I think if a person does not have good self esteem a relationship can never be complete.

Self-esteem is huge. It affects so much of who you are and how you act. Imagine the behavior that would result if deep down you felt you were bad, or inadequate, or incompetent, or unattractive, or unworthy. You'd be very sensitive to criticism, you'd second-guess yourself, decide not to try things, feel lousy about yourself all the time, so relationships would be very difficult. Many psychological disorders sprout from low self-esteem. It's a problem with a lot of people, baggage from growing up, it can be the result of adults putting us down when we were kids, always feeling inadequate.

It's hard to turn this around, but it can be done. The key is to give yourself credit for any good thing you do...small or large. It's like making deposits into a bank account...your repository of self-esteem. You say to yourself, "I did a good thing, I'm pleased with how that went." Maybe you just showed up on time and made a contribution to a group effort. GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT. After a while you can "draw interest" on this account - in the form of self-esteem. But many people "discount" amazing accomplishments. I knew a gal who was disgusted with herself because she came in second at the state championship swim meet. And a guy who got a Bronze Star in Iraq and said "it wasn't anything." COME ON! You see how low self-esteem feeds itself? It's obvious, if you never give yourself credit, you can never draw the interest.

So you see, you have to do this for yourself. It's great if people don't abuse you verbally or put you down. But in the end, YOU have to give yourself credit, build up your own account over time. All that praise and rewards from adults "just because you're you" is shallow BS and doesn't work. A smart kid knows those tokens are meaningless and may even feed low self-esteem.

In order for someone to be respected and valued by others, they must respect and value themselves.

Self esteem is very important in all human beings but it's important to know the difference between having high self esteem and being arrogant.

It depicts how one values ones self, as well it is important to have if one seeks to value something out-side of ones self. There is a huge connection between self esteem and caring.

Self Esteem is indeed is very very essential - otherwise we will loose ourselves in the stream of others influences.

It is the one which makes us unique and strong in principles
It enhances our abilities during facing challenges
It makes us enable to take right choices in the right time
It helps us to be pessimist

Self esteem and confidence is a wonderful attribute because having it will enable you to love others and happiness will surely be contagious, as long as you don't become over confident or egotistical.

Yep. You are right. Everybody should have self-esteem so that they become unique. But this should also be kept in mind that the esteem should not turn into useless pride... :-)

SELF-ESTEEM-isn't bragging about how great you are.It's more like quietly knowing that you'e worth a lot, "PRICELESS" in fact. It's not about thinking you're perfect, because nobody is-BUT KNOWING YOU'RE WORTH OF BEING LOVED AND ACCEPTED.
