Self-Esteem in Japan
Being a Self-esteem Coach in Japan can be extremely challenging. Most Japanese people have never heard the word self-esteem, and those who have heard it believe that it means the same as selfish.
I asked a group of Japanese company workers if they knew what self-esteem is. The first person had never heard the word, but luckily he found it in his dictionary. According to this dictionary, self-esteem is the same as pride or vanity. WRONG!!! Actually, self-esteem is more like the opposite to pride and vanity because it is only those people who have a high self-esteem who can “afford” to not be overly proud or vane. Self-esteem makes you feel proud of yourself but never at the expense of others. People with high self-esteem know that they are valuable, but not more valuable than anyone else.

You may laugh but there are plenty of new reports of people re-enacting video game violence in real life.

feelings of self-worth stemming from the individual’s

chances are that job is messing with your self-esteem.
