I agree English is a very confusing language, especially when you take on board this is an international forum. Also many words and expressions - such as depression and self esteem - are used very broadly and can take on different meanings in different context. People say they are "depressed" when slightly unhappy or fed up, way off true clinical depression.
My main point is you cannot say all the worlds problems are the result of low self esteem. My blog is about self confidence & self esteem, so obviously I think they are important. But its not helpful if they are misappropriated.
