Types of self-esteem

"Self-esteem" is often synonymous with "self image," but that's not really what self-esteem is. Positive self-image is important -- it's caring about yourself and seeing yourself as a unique individual simply because of who you are as a human being. Self-esteem is a positive sense of one's own worth that is based on actually doing worthy things

• High self-esteem (Normal): The person loves themselves and accepts who they are.
• Low self-esteem: The person doesn’t love themselves, doesn’t accept who they are and doesn’t value their qualities.
• Inflated self-esteem: The person loves themselves more than others and they exaggerate their qualities.
