ok…self esteem is your opinion of yourself, how you feel about yourself. a person who thinks they are worthless has low self esteem. a person who has confidence in himself has a normal or high self esteem. self worth is the feeling that your actions can and will get you respect from others. that being said…a person who feels very highly about himself, but has no feeling that his actions will influence other’s opinion of him…has no reason to ever do anything, because its not relevant…no matter what he does hes perfect in his own eyes. on the other hand, a person with no self esteem will not have any self worth because if he sees himself as a person not worth respecting he sees no reason why others would respect him, and therefore has no reason to care for his actions.
