There's several factors that build self-esteem. A sense of belonging and of course self-confidence and the feeling of competent in your abilities. Life experiences influence these factors along with relationships and how you see yourself and what place you have in the world. What are the factors that you think influence your self-esteem?

What builds my self esteem is quite simple. Whenever I accomplish little things, no matter how small they are, I feel so good about myself as it shows that I can do anything.

Whenever I see people who support me especially during critical moments, they remind me that I am valued and that kind gesture really uplifts my spirit.
