Attitude is an outlook that has been shaped by past experiences and our interpretation of them. Self-esteem reflects our overall sense of worth and value which influences our attitude towards ourselves and the world around us. They co-exist and are not fixed traits. They can be developed and improved over time through intentional effort and learned skills. Complementary skills include assertivess, anger management, self-mastery, and social styles and communication.
