What is self-esteem?

Posted by Racer on July 11, 2006, at 23:23:49

We're talking about how to get it, but what is it?
To me, it means our valuation of ourselves. I don't know that that's quite all of it, though, and I know I have trouble with the part about "self-esteem that is not tied to accomplishments or attributes." That last part, I really don't get at all -- how can I value myself if I haven't done anything and don't have any attributes? And yet, I'm told that self-esteem shouldn't be tied to those things...
Anyway, I'm interested to see what others have to say.
