All humans have a need to feel respected; this includes the need to have self-esteem and self-respect. Esteem presents the typical human desire to be accepted and valued by others.
Most people have a need for stable self-respect and self-esteem. Maslow noted two versions of esteem needs: a "lower" version and a "higher" version.
The "lower" version of esteem is the need for respect from others. This may include a need for status, recognition, fame, prestige, and attention.
