Definition Essay On Self Esteem

When someone says the word “self-esteem” the first thing that comes to my mind is a celebrity that has the whole world watching their every move and think to myself, “It must be hard to keep healthy, high self-esteem with the whole world judging what a certain celebrity is wearing or how they fixed their hair just to go to the grocery store.” Self-esteem is a personal evaluation and judgement of one person’s own self. There are different kinds of self-esteem. One kind of self-esteem is high self-esteem, which means a person is confident with their looks, opions, ideas, or anything to do with their own self. If a person has high self-esteem they believe that they deserve respect from other people and they are usually happy. Another kind of self-esteem is low self-esteem. Low self-esteem means a person lacks confidence. Low self-esteem people are unhappy and unsatisfied with their own personal appearance and put little value to their opions. Low self-esteem can cause depression and anxiety. A person can have a mix of self-esteem where their self-esteem isn’t very high but also isn’t low. At moments, a person with mixed self-esteem may value their own opions and at other times start to doubt it.
Self-esteem is not someone judging another person, it is a person judging their own self personally. People with high self-esteem tend to believe in their self, drive to succeed, know what they want or need, and tend to take more care of their appearance. People with high self-esteem tend to laugh at their mistakes instead of getting embarrassed and dwelling over things. People with low self-esteem usually have anxiety, emotional turmoil, eating disorders, withdraw socially, have an inability to accept compliments, have an inability to be fair to one’s own self, expect little out of their own life, reluctant to trust their own opions, and mostly have a negative mind
