Self-esteem is a term used in psychology to reflect a person's
overall emotional evaluation of his or her own worth. It is a judgment of
oneself as well as an attitude toward the self. Self-esteem is also known as
the evaluative dimension of the self that includes feelings of worthiness,
prides and discouragement. One's self esteem is also closely associated with
self-consciousness. (Source: Wikipedia)
Confidence is generally described as a state of being certain
either that a hypothesis or prediction is correct or that a chosen course of
action is the best or most effective. Self-confidence is having confidence in
oneself. Arrogance or hubris in this comparison, is having unmerited
confidence—believing something or someone is capable or correct when they are
not. Overconfidence or presumptuousness is excessive belief in someone (or
something) succeeding, without any regard for failure. Confidence can be a
self-fulfilling prophecy as those without it may fail or not try because they
lack it and those with it may succeed because they have it rather than because
of an innate ability. (Source: Wikipedia)
According to Psych Center - Have you wondered about what self-esteem is and how to get more of it?
Do you think your self-esteem is low? Do you know how to tell? Do you know what
to do about it?
Self-esteem answers
the question, “How do I feel about who I am?” We learn self-esteem in our
family of origin; we do not inherit it.
