In this paper we will analyze two psychological constructs: self-esteem and self-compassion, as written in literature. In particular, we will compare the effects of the high self esteem and his continuous research with the self-compassion, highlighting new theoretical contributions that emphasize the negative effects of the first construct comparing them with productive ones of the second.We will examine the high self-esteem and self-compassion in relation to relational, psychological, emotional and individual performance and community. In the conclusions we will open a space for reflection that aims to re-evaluate the common goal of seeking consistently high self esteem considering the necessity to achieve this goal thanks to the care of oneself and of others.
