  Dec 20 2012: my defination is 'loved enough' is that if one person feels precious herself/himself without feeling the need of proving his/her preciousness, this person would be said to be loved enough... and ı agree that lots of derogatory comments and situations may cause this low self-esteem...

  Dec 20 2012: mark,
  
  thank u so much for this detailed answer.ı know that low self-esteem shows that something is misinterpreted to value ourselves.and I asked this question for not I have low self-esteem or I dont appreciate myself or others but I asked this to learn some other ways of overcoming this feeling..
  
  And the answer to ur question is that yes,there is invisible class discrimination in Turkey,Cause here in Turkey like many other countries,people, who seem self-confident thanx to their educations,high financial status, dont have self-esteem in real and therefore they define themselves by defining the others who belong to lower classes of society.
  
  may ı ask what did u mean by saying ''I will let the experts comment on group or community situations of low self worth or low self esteem.''?
