self-esteem
This term describes an internal evaluation of one's own value. It is typically used in psychological and developmental contexts to describe a person's emotional health and resilience. While it is often used interchangeably with self-confidence, self-esteem refers to a general sense of worth, whereas confidence usually relates to specific skills or abilities.
Grammatically, this noun is uncountable. It describes an abstract quality or state of being rather than a discrete object. Consequently, it does not have a plural form and cannot be used with a number; instead, it is modified by adjectives such as high, low, healthy, or fragile.
