self esteem is how a person views their self. how they value them selves. This is a very touchy thing also, the amount of self esteem people have usually comes from their surrounding loved ones etc, what they have been told all their life

Self esteem means how you view your own worth. When someone says it builds self esteem they mean it builds confidence, inner strength, determination. Some people have a poor self esteem meaning they have a poor self image , lack confidence, and are unsure of themselves. I hope that helps, good luck!

In psychology, self-esteem or self-worth includes a person's subjective appraisal of himself or herself as intrinsically positive or negative to some degree.
Self-esteem involves both self-relevant beliefs (e.g., "I am competent/incompetent") and associated self-relevant emotions (for example: triumph/despair, pride/shame). It also finds expression in behavior (e.g., assertiveness/timorousness, confidence/caution). In addition, one can construe self-esteem as an enduring personality characteristic (trait self-esteem) or as a temporary psychological condition (state self-esteem). Finally, self-esteem can apply specifically to a particular dimension (e.g., "I believe I am a good writer, and feel proud of that in particular") or have global extent (for example: "I believe I am a good person, and feel proud of myself in general").

It is being able to look into the mirror and be ok with what you see.
It's being able to know you will not compromise your dignity.
It's confidence without *********.
