What is the state of your self-esteem?

This might be a difficult question to answer so here are some definitions which may help:

“A stable sense of a person’s worthiness measurable by self report.”
-- Morris Rosenburg (1951)

“Self-esteem is the reflection of a person’s overall self- appraisal of their own worth.”
-- William James

“Confidence in our right to be happy, assert our needs and wants and enjoy the fruits of our efforts.”
-- Nathaniel Branden

“Self esteem is our confidence to think and cope with basic challenges of life”
-- Nathaniel Branden
