Ah but self esteem should come from within and not be reliant on external opinions. BTW you are kinda pretty. Just sayin.5 -

Should telling someone they're beautiful be a tool to improve their self esteem, or should it be an honest expression of emotion? Is there a difference? Is one more/less valuable than the other? Do I still care to know an answer to this after typing it all out? Probably not, now my brain is tired, if anyone needs me I'll be imagining bicycles made out of licorice and how frustrating they'd be to try and ride4

You can tell someone a thousand times they are beautiful, if they don't believe it, it does absolutely nothing for their confidence or self esteem.
As far as compliments go though, it’s a pretty superficial one.
ETA: I still like to hear it however, for some complicated reasons

I have no idea why this got woo’d, it’s completely accurate. I want to deck people who tell my 8 yr old daughter that she looks so ‘pretty’ like she ‘lost weight’, why do they hate my child? 😅0 -
Seriously though, imagine the whole bike just being this limp mass of slightly ropey grossness. You’d just be standing there holding it up by the handlebars as it sags beneath you and the frustration of “how am I supposed to ride this?” would be very real2

If it is anything, it should be a simple statement of appreciation.
Most of us are created to appreciate beauty.
But beauty in the form of human appearance isn’t something a person has a lot of control over. Neither is innate intelligence for that matter.
To help self-esteem, recognize genuine accomplishment, struggle, perseverance, unusual applications of possessed skills.
IMO
Then tell me I’m pretty and buy me a beer.
