Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Satisfying the need for esteem requires both external validation (status and recognition from others) and internal validation (feelings of self-worth). Simply receiving praise and recognition from others is not enough, as it does not address the internal sense of self-esteem. Additionally, the lower needs do not necessarily need to be completely satisfied before the need for esteem arises. Finally, confronting unconscious desires to feel inferior may be helpful in addressing self-esteem issues, but it is not necessary for satisfying the need for esteem.
