To me self esteem is when you believe you have qualities and the belief that you are good enough for people to like you. Self respect is when you don't allow yourself to be knowingly used or mistreated. Self esteem is more important because with self esteem comes self respect where as it doesn't work like that in reverse.

Basically the same thing. Esteem literally means to respect.

Self-Esteem; You know what you bring to the table, you know you can be happy alone, you know your flaws, and you have confidence in yourself.

Self-Respect just builds off Self-Esteem; you have great self-esteem so you know better than to be used, walked on, talked down to, and you know when to say no and walk away.

Self-respect is acting with self-esteem. It is the applied action of that belief.
