A person of moderate self esteem can sometimes be easily persuaded because they are in the midst of learning lessons in life and depending on what they have learned they may be easily persuaded by another. The person with high esteem has been encouraged by others; perhaps given more breaks, but they can also think they are of high esteem when they are not and therefore they are quite confident in themselves by feeling they have full control of their lives. A person with low self esteem is generally very suspicious of people or other situations in life and may miss out on good friends or life in general, but generally never wants to risk getting hurt.
