Before litany of confessions of poor self-esteem gains too much momentum I'd like to point out the provocative articles below. One question they raise is what effects the *pursuit* of high self-esteem has. They suggest that self-esteem is more a means than an end, and obsessing over not having much of it isn't likely to help anyone.
