self-esteem - Zo and Fi

Hi Zo and Fi,

Yes the idea of self-esteem is interesting and confusing at times! I'm not the type to put myself down a lot or be a doormat but maybe self-esteem is something deeper. I'd imagine it fluctuates, too. My problems with decision making might be partly fear of failure which I suppose could come from less than solid self esteem. But I'm just speculating. I don't have a clear sense of this one way or the other.

Some writers, pop-psychologists, and others bandy the term about as explaining various problems. Sometimes I wonder if they don't just use it as a catch-all explanation for things that are actually more complex?
