It isn't How other people see us but, how we see ourselves? It includes beliefs about our own self,A HIGH Self Esteem makes us feel 'Confident' and generates a positive energy into us which further manifolds our capacity to make new achievements.On the other hand,a LOW Self Esteem makes us a  negative person who is always anxious about how to manage things and is never sure about his judgments.
