Self-esteem was defined as "the capacity to experience maximal self-love and joy whether or not you are successful at any point in your life" - David Burns.
Self-esteem was researched by a Psychologist Maxine Elliott and realized that people's self-esteem will vary from individual when they are facing a setback. People who have a high level of self-esteem will be able to respond to a damaging event by using their past experience and their coping abilities and will not have much damage to their current level of self-esteem. They will still see themselves as valuable and talented even if the current evidences seems to indicate otherwise.
However, most people will experience some loss of self-esteem when they face a negative situation and unfortunately, those who already have a low self-esteem will also experience the largest reduction in what little self-esteem they have. In other words, they will see their future as further proof that they are incapable of being successful. This type of negative cycle will perpetuate itself each time that a person with low self-esteem faces failure, criticism, or roadblocks.
