I've been thinking about the difference between self esteem and self worth. To me, self esteem is about being happy with the way we are, look, and act, not being happy with the results of our tasks and accomplishments. Me liking my fingernails has nothing to do with my own homing-pigeon instincts (honestly, GG! I know where I'm going!). I can recognize that the first is something I'm happy about myself, and the second I consider a useful skill that I actively develop that makes me happy.
That's me, though.
