The Importance of Self Esteem in Psychology

Lorenzo: How would you think about like self esteem being different from things like self compassion just being kind to yourself what is it is there a sort of an overlap maybe here so I would be really interested in your thoughts about this. To me there's definitely an overlap between these two constructs and I'm not an expert on self compassion but I would think that of course people who have high self esteem who accept themselves that they also show self compassion in situations where it is needed.
