Is self-esteem good or bad?

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: High self-esteem is generally considered good, while low self-esteem is considered bad. But it is really more complicated than that. High self-esteem feels good and leads people to initiate action. Low self-esteem is both a component of depression and predicts depression over time. Self-esteem does not cause a range of positive outcomes, however.
