Intrinsic Self Worth
Intrinsic self worth is basically self love. When you feel intrinsic self worth, you are happy and satisfied with yourself as you are. Someone with intrinsic self worth does not require external awards, kudos, gold stars, or the acknowledgement of authority figures (parents, priests, teachers, etc.) in order to feel good about themselves. Someone with intrinsic self worth loves themselves unconditionally.
Someone with high intrinsic self worth is very difficult to control since they do not need the external approval of others for validation. Those with Extrinsic Self Worth however may be manipulated by manipulating the externalized rewards (gold stars, trophies, power, money, etc.) that they have been trained to need in order to feel good about themselves.
