Assertiveness

As a communication style and strategy, Assertiveness is distinguished from Aggression and Passivity. How people deal with personal boundaries; their own and those of other people, helps to distinguish between these three concepts. Passive communicators do not defend their own personal boundaries and thus allow aggressive people to harm or otherwise unduly influence them. They are also typically not likely to risk trying to influence anyone else. Aggressive people do not respect the personal boundaries of others and thus are liable to harm others while trying to influence them. A person communicates assertively by not being afraid to speak his or her mind or trying to influence others, but doing so in a way that respects the personal boundaries of others. They are also willing to defend themselves against aggressive incursions.

History?

There needs to be an article about the development of self-esteem as an educational concept, with a timeline.

Your second paragraph, concerning the history with James seems to be plagiarized. This information is taken almost directly from the source of The Briefer Course by William James. I suggest putting this particular section/paragraph into your own words, then cite James accordingly. MStearns21 (talk) 18:39, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

I also believe that you should dive into more detail about what self-esteem is and how it is formed in this section. For instance, stating that self-esteem, whether high or low, is established in early childhood. Having a good or bad familial environment can have a large impact on self-esteem. The Mayo Clinic goes into more detail about what contributes to self-esteem. Orth U, et al. Self-esteem development from young adulthood to old age: A cohort-sequential longitudinal study.

Apologies

Recently something was put on the main Self esteem page saying that wikipedia destroys self esteem (or something close to that). As it turns out, someone in my school saw me type my password and recently confessed to doing this. He also took part in something on a wikipedia page called Frankenbush. I changed my password and this will not happen again.

Confused about why my edit was reverted

This article is clearly a mess but I got here by searching for terms used in another article (I guess it is a hang out for arrogant people). The heading of that article (Ideal mental health) said it needed more links from other articles, I placed a sentence in this article which linked to that article (and linked the term I used to this article) why is that reverted? For some reason I cannot log in.

rv page blanking

self esteem is basically something that is like a hurdle to success. its literal meaning is ego, self confidence. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.177.22.177 (talk • contribs) who replaced the page with this comment, 13:54 14 August 2007 (UTC).edit

Possible copyvio

High overlap between article and heavenhealthclinic in rev 971293527, but possibly predates that, and is possibly a reverse-copy. I'm a bit confused by the copyvio-revdel placed on the article for a completely different url (theschooloflife). A comparison with a 2016 capture by IA also shows the overlap in 2016.

Heavenhealthclinic.com doesn't look like the kind of place that produces its own material. Troll Control (talk) 09:21, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

For example its page on Generalized Anxiety Disorder appears to be shared by bartleby.com. Troll Control (talk) 09:25, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Article summary

Self-esteem is the respect you have for your abilities, characteristics and your physical look. Jokerkick (talk) 12:56, 15 May 2021 (UTC)

Yes, the opinion, or esteem, you have for what is also known as the 'self'. Hence the term. Self-esteem. What is your point? 122.151.210.84 (talk) 07:02, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Examples of fallacious reasoning and plain idiocy could and should be deleted

In a number of places in this article the fallacy that improved self-esteem leads to improved life outcomes is stated or implied. The wacky US politician and his various councils, the malaysian undergraduate study, etc. Why mention it? Why not delete this self-evident idiocy? Why is not blindingly obvious to to any reasonably intelligent being that improved life outcomes lead to improved self-esteem, and NOT the reverse? Just as water, light and nutrients lead to plant growth. Plant growth does not lead to water, light and nutrients. Very basic logic, really. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.151.210.84 (talk) 06:59, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
