When you've got self-esteem you value yourself. You trust your judgment. You know what you're capable of. You respect yourself for what you do and who you are. When you lack self-esteem you feel weak and helpless. You are uncertain of the value of anything you do. You don't trust yourself and you do. You don't trust yourself and you don't trust other people's reassurances. You're unsure of who you are. You may find it hard to make satisfying friendships. Life gets on top of you very easily.

Imagine that you've been cast away on a desert island . You live completely alone. You have enough to eat and drink. You have shelter. It may even be quite pleasant. But there's no-one else around. After a while you start to feel that some thing s you're doing may be rather strange. One of the things you're lacking is feedback. No-one is giving you any information about how you're getting on. No-one responding to what you do. Without feedback it is difficult to regulate what you do.
