What builds up self esteem?

first things first, you have to know what self esteem is. self esteem is pretty much how you feel about yourself. wether or not you have a high self esteem ( you like yourself) or a low self esteem ( you hate yourself) is determined on the thought of how you think. your self esteem can be affected by emotions, interference, other people, events, etc. so as you can see, self esteem isn't really built on anything, it's really based on feelings and thoughts. and how much feelings or thoughts that you have towards yourself is chosen by yourself.
