Self-esteem is an abstract concept, which refers to people’s beliefs about their own worth and value.
American psychologist Abraham Maslow thought self-esteem was a basic human need and included self-esteem in
his hierarchy of human needs. He described two different forms of “esteem”: the need for respect from others in
the form of recognition, success, and admiration, and the need for self-respect in the form of self-love,
self-confidence, and skill. Respect from others was believed to be more fragile and easily lost than inner
self-esteem. According to Maslow, without the fulfillment of the self-esteem need, individuals will be driven to
seek it and unable to grow and obtain self-realization.
Basically, high self-esteem is achieved through a series of real accomplishments, which is good for people.
However, the excessive high self-esteem, based more on a sense of entitlement than on any accomplishment, is
considered to be less psychologically healthy. And just as self-esteem can be too high, it can also be
“under-inflated”. Those having poor self-esteem do have a basis for feeling good about themselves but they may
not recognize their accomplishments and actions as meaningful.
To appreciate what it would be like to have high self-esteem, one can consider how they may feel about
things in their lives that they value. For instance, some people really like cars. They take good care of their cars.
They may even decorate the car and then show it off to other people with pride. Similarly, people with high
self-esteem love, care for and feel proud of themselves. Take children for example. When they have high
self-esteem, they believe they are valuable and important. They enjoy different activities and can handle criticism
easily without taking it personally.
People need to develop positive self-esteem. This can convince them they deserve happiness. Besides, the
development of positive self-esteem increases the capacity to treat other people with respect, thus favoring a variety of interpersonal relationships and avoiding destructive ones.

A. Self-esteem ensures us a successful life.
B. Self-esteem is essential to self-realization.
C. Self-esteem means little to psychological health.

5. What does the underlined word “under-inflated” in paragraph 2 mean?
