Absolutely. It creates a feeling that one is not capable of anything doing. Such people resort to Self abuse which have far reaching bad results over a period.

It sounds like self confidence. Yes it is important to get any kind of success. 

They are two different things. If there is no self esteem in the first place, one cannot achieve Self confidence. The first step for Self confidence is Self esteem.

Self esteem is a primary concept which makes us feel good about ourselves in some way or the other over others and self confidence is about the confidence we have over our skills and competence to do something.

To have faith and belief on your strengths, abilities and skills is Self Esteem. That is you have a respect towards your inherent qualities.

Without Self Esteem how one can have self confidence?

If you lack self esteem there are many ways you could earn such and revive yours hidden potential. You just have to work harder than others.

Knowing that one knows that he lacks self esteem, that itself is a great thing. But he has to discover himself and cash his inner abilities and skills.
