self-regard
Opinion of oneself
Self-regard is the way one thinks about or views oneself, encompassing both self-esteem and self-respect.
It can be neutral, simply meaning attention to one's own interests and well-being, but often carries a slightly negative connotation suggesting excessive concern with oneself.
His self-regard prevented him from accepting criticism.
Someone with healthy self-regard values themselves appropriately, while someone with too much self-regard may come across as conceited or self-absorbed.
