What is the esteem need in the hierarchy of needs theory?

i need a description about what the esteem need is. I've looked at sites, but i dont understand. If a person has no confidence, and is shy..is that part of esteem needs?

Answer:
The esteem need refers both to having esteem in one's self - (having self confidence and feeling good about yourself) and receiving esteem from others (getting praise and recognition for your achievement; being valued by others). When these needs are not met, the person can end up feeling inferior, worthless, weak and helpless. So, yes, a person who lacks confidence and is shy may have failed to get esteem needs met. People who have esteem needs may also have on over-focus on achievement. They may constantly seek validation of their worth from external sources. In that case they may not seem shy, but may be aggressive in trying to get fame and glory they desire.
