You get self esteem by doing things that are worthy of esteem and then telling no one.
New PR in the gym? Tell no one.
Just made a million dollars? Tell no one.
Have an amazing sex life? Tell no...
I agree. But I would not set it as dogma. There are situations where it makes sense to talk about your skills and accomplishments. That's possible to come from your internal point of reference aswell.
