Being humble implies that a person is modest, and does not think that he/she is better or more important than others. They do not brag about their achievements, even though internally, they know they did well. Humility can be considered a good quality and is actually one of the 7 virtues in Christianity.

Low self-esteem has more of a negative connotation. A person with low self-esteem might believe (wrongly) that they are worthless and that everything they do is wrong. He/she might not just believe that they are not better or more important than others, but that they are not even equal to others and that others are better or more important than them.

thank you everybody.

all answers contributed to my understanding. so i just had to go by the thumbs on this one >.<

so a humble person is kinda like a quitely strong person, while a low self esteem person is a weak person?

sometimes the things i brag about, are the things im insecure about.
