About Esteem Needs
Esteem represents our need to be respected by ourself and others; our
desire for recognition, to participate in activities - professional or personal - that bring a sense of contribution and self-worth. Fulfilling esteem needs leads to sincere, heartfelt self-confidence.

Esteem is often mistaken for possessions - a high performance car, a haute purse, membership to an exclusive club. These items are great, but if they're purchased to compensate for a lack of esteem, they further mask the problem.
