Self-esteem, for me, is the way I perceive my own value and capabilities. It's that internal dialogue I have about my strengths and weaknesses, how I evaluate my skills, and the confidence I feel in my abilities. When my self-esteem is high, I tend to see myself positively and believe that I can handle challenges. Conversely, when it's low, I might doubt myself and feel unworthy or incompetent.

On the other hand, self-worth feels deeper and more intrinsic. It's the understanding that, irrespective of my achievements or failures, I have inherent value as a person. My self-worth tells me that I deserve love, respect, and happiness simply because I exist. While self-esteem can fluctuate based on external circumstances—like getting a promotion or failing at something—my sense of self-worth remains rooted in the recognition that I am complete and valuable just as I am. Together, self-esteem and self-worth shape how I navigate the world, but it's this innate sense of self-worth that provides a more stable foundation for my overall well-being.
