Low self-esteem is responsible for emotional isolation. Being glamour-stricken also springs out of low self-esteem.

No originality or quality of thought, action, and behavior can be generated without generating a balanced self-esteem.

Our social system is such as robs us of our opportunity to have a balanced self-esteem since childhood. We either become a narcissist or a self-hater, thus inflating or lowering our self-esteem.

Self-esteem is not narcissism; although self-hatred can always lead to a low self-esteem.

Self-esteem means giving yourself your due appreciation and respect despite all the weaknesses and shortcomings you have.

One must learn to give oneself at least, and also at most, as much appreciation and respect as one gives to any other person, of present or past, on earth. That is what a balanced self-esteem means.
