It’s really low and people are trying to boost it but I’m not having any of it
At least you spelled esteem correctly…that’s a plus…good work…I believe in you…try giving yourself some positive reinforcement in the mirror…maybe write down one good thing you did per day and review it at the end if the week…

Sounds like you are depressed,
Get in shape, if you look good you feel good about yourself. Look at someone like @mortimermouse, if you have the discipline to keep up an exercise regimen it positively impacts all aspects of your life.
Look in the mirror every morning and say i’m a bad mamajama.

…By doing esteemable acts.
I take pride in my sense of honor and honesty.
Esteem is mostly a concern in the romance department
and…
what I’m about to say is going to sound a bit cynical but
esteem is mostly a guy issue
Human women are waaaay too over-hyped
To be fair MOST people out there have mental issues in some form or another;
the ones you see in this forum are aware of and admitting to them.
So you’re pretty much worried that you’re not looking savory enough
to animals who are, most likely, too distracted with their own crazies to be much of a stable
relationship even if you do find one.

I found this article: http://www.positivityblog.com/index.php/2013/09/11/improve-self-esteem/
Maybe it can help you (and me 
).
Trust them, they are trying to help you. That doesn’t happen often enough in this little thing we call life. Instead of helping you, these people could just as easily be picking on you and making your self-esteem go even lower. But they choose to help you. Don’t take them for granted.

Find something you like doing and really push yourself to become great at it. If you don’t succeed, at least you can say you tried.
You improve your self esteem by not following the crowd. Do your own thing, and use the opportunity you’ve got within the limits of your illness to work hard at being be the best human being you can be. Your conscience should be only guide when it comes to doing the ‘right thing’ by yourself.
You are unique and you know best what is going on in your life. You could make a list of positive things in you and your life. Self-love is okay. Even a little bit of selfishness is okay. If you are depressed, try to find a way out of this depression. Remember we all are unique living in our unique world. You could listen to some positive music. I find this music quite nice.
For me daily exercise improves self esteem … walking.
