What is Self-Respect?
A stable, grounded regard for your own value as a person — independent of performance, approval, or external success. Self-respect is the quiet anchor that holds when the world's opinion changes.
When you might feel self-respect
Self-Respect is a specific form of worth, which itself is a type of esteem. You might experience this feeling in situations where esteem is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define self-respect.
