self-esteem/sense of worth

[GUEST2008]

Hi

Is there any difference between self-esteem and sense of worth?

[Hedwig]

You could define self-esteem as a sense of your own worth, I suppose. How would you use sense of worth in a sentence?

Sense of worth is used when referring to other people, and self-esteem when referring to yourself. I don't recall ever seeing "sense of worth" being used anywhere though.
