Answer preview

In psychology, self esteem is defined as a person’s own feelings of self worth or their own sense of value. In simple terms, self esteem refers to how much an individual likes and appreciates themselves. It takes on a variety of issues like beliefs, emotions, behaviors and own appearance. Because self esteem is an individual’s self-perception of their own abilities and skills, this self-perception often guides and motivates particular processes and behaviors.
