It is called self-esteem because it is what you think of yourself.
If you
consider the definition, self-esteem
describes a person's overall sense of self-worth or personal value. It can involve
a variety of beliefs about your self, such as the appraisal of one's own
appearance, beliefs, emotions and behaviours.
What other people
think of you is called "other-people esteem." That's a whole
different thing!
Is it better
to think well of yourself? You decide. If you answer, "Yes!" Then go
ahead.
Don't wait for others to think well of you!
Without a
doubt people can tear you down. Sometimes because they are uncaring. Most often
because they are unthinking, they are too busy with their 'stuff' to realise or
to tell you.
This makes it
more difficult, but at some point, you can make a choice. Self esteem gets
done to children, but for adults, it becomes a choice.
It's
up to you!
