Self-Respect

Self-respect matters because it is the foundation that forms our self-esteem and directly impacts how we perceive ourselves. It is about valuing ourselves for who we are and living according to our beliefs and values. Self-respect helps us bring out who we are- our values and principles- and to live authentically without compromising them. Self-respect is not about feeling superior; it is about valuing ourselves before others and living in a way that reflects it. It is essential to be who we are and respect ourselves for it.

Re: Self-Respect

@heera72 @rav3n I had the same conversation with a friend yesterday.

Abuse, loneliness, isolation, lack of human physical contact, can make you an easy target 🎯 for predators.

Being selective about your friends and community is very important.
