These concepts have some similarity but they are far from being the same. The term conceit means an overestimation of ones own self worth; conceited people think too well of themselves, and are not as good as they think they are. Self esteem means an appreciation of ones own value and usually is used to indicate an accurate assessment, rather than an overestimation. Any person who is not worthless (and very few people are worthless) should have some self esteem.

How can you be conceited and have low self esteem?

Conceit and low self esteem are both sides of the same coin. Example: You can have high estimation of your looks or beauty which can be conceited and on the other side of that coin. You can have low self esteem in your ability to do a certain thing. A person who feel this way just needs to find an area of balance in their life. If you are conceited with your looks/beauty; try to find ways to not be so vain or self absorbed. And if you have low self esteem in a certain ability; try to find things/quotes that increase positive affirmation. Balance is the key!
