The second video on self-esteem: what is low self-esteem, what are the signs of low self-esteem, and how people try to compensate for their low self-esteem and achieve "happiness."

Thanks for your feedback, Tyler - good to know you find value in my work!

 

Tony, yeah, adding annotations takes some time, but I though it's worth doing. P.S. Thank you, I put a lot of thought into what kind of logo I'd like, and a friend of mine helped me to design it :)

From what I gather it's like you're saying low self esteem is like not having an accurate picture of one's own self worth. Or another way is not having an internal value of self worth but relying on external feedback to make the determination. Is that right?

Quite right. Low self-esteem fundamentally is an inaccurate evaluation of oneself (having false beliefs/propositions), and often the inability to evaluate oneself objectively (inability to gather and/or correctly evaluate the truth value of beliefs/propositions about yourself). Also, the term self-esteem may be used to refer to an overall picture of oneself, or in regard to a specific thing (for example, to an ability to climb trees, or being selfish). The more objectively correct one estimates oneself, the healthier one's self-esteem is. And the rational goal for a person who wants to be happy and fulfilled would be to have as overally correct picture of yourself as possible.
