What is selfesteem

Self-esteem?reflects an individual's overall subjective emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is the decision made by an individual as an attitude towards the self. Self-esteem encompasses?beliefs?about oneself, (for example, "I am competent", "I am worthy"), as well as?emotional?states, such as?triumph,?despair,?pride, and?shame.[1]?Smith and Mackie (2007) defined it by saying "The?self-concept?is what we think about the self; self-esteem, is the positive or negative evaluations of the self, as in how we feel about it."
