We all know that self-esteem, sometimes called self-esteem or self-respect, can be an important part of success. Too little self-esteem can leave people feeling defeated or depressed. It can also lead people to make bad choices, sink into destructive relationships or fail to live up to their potential. Too much self-esteem, as shown by the narcissistic personality disorder, can certainly be repulsive to others and even hurt personal relationships.

Levels of self-esteem at the extremes of the spectrum can be harmful. Ideally, it is better to find a balance somewhere in the middle. A realistic and positive vision of yourself is generally considered the ideal. But what is self-esteem? Where does it come from and how does it really affect our lives?
What is self-esteem?

In psychology, the term self-esteem is used to describe a person's sense of self-worth or worth. In other words, how much you appreciate and love.

• Self-esteem is often considered a personality trait, which means that it tends to be stable and sustainable.
• Self-esteem may involve various beliefs about yourself, such as assessing your appearance, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors.

Why self-esteem is important

Self-esteem can play an important role in your motivation and success throughout your life. Low self-esteem can prevent you from succeeding at school or at work because you do not believe you can succeed. On the other hand, having a good self-esteem can help you succeed because you navigate your life with a positive and assertive attitude and think you can reach your goals.

Theories of self-esteem

The need for self-esteem plays an important role in the hierarchy of needs of psychologist Abraham Maslow, who describes self-esteem as one of man's fundamental motivations. Maslow suggested that people need both esteem and self esteem. These two needs must be met for an individual to grow as a person and to flourish.
