Why is self respect important?

Answer 1

Hi Monicapando,
Self respect doesn't require a barrier between self and life : a person remains "connected", to life and others, and recognizes the value of their own contribution, as well as the value of others... Self respect doesn't need to control or dominate....

Self respect, is having an earned positive feeling about ones self... That's why it is important... :)

Thanks, for the question!;)

Why Is Self Respect Important

Answer 3

You left nothing if you have no self-respect to yourself. you will get lost and don't know what to do the next step. like me, sht happen to me and really feeling hurt . I will stand on my feet and being independent, that's is all because self respect. You won't make a mistake which cannot be turned back when you have your own principal.

Answer 4

You have to love & respect yourself before you can love or respect others. If you don't respect yourself then you will be unhappy, you will never get respect from others & you will become a bitter, miserable person. If you don't respect yourself then you will not be good to yourself & will wind up doing things to destroy yourself in some way (through bad habits, addictions, abusive relationships etc). You have to realize your own worth & be good to yourself. Then you will be happy & able to be good to others as well. Many people don't realize this & it would explain the large numbers of people who engage in self-destructive behaviours. They may not even recognize how they are creating their own fate. They see themselves as victims but they're really their own worst enemies.

Answer 5

If the feelings for yourself are in lowest terms...you just exist. No plans, no desire to be good or bad...just exist. If you think naught of yourself then you can do nothing good in life. You will have no respect , not only for yourself , but also, the laws of the land. You don't want a trail of badness following you around / it is a heavy load. Respecting yourself means that you are doing the best for you in all ways and you have no shame value.

Answer 6

You are your first critique and well-wisher. So if you are good upto your satisfaction according to your calibre, you need not worry about the world. And you are the first person who could defend your respect. Self-respect is holding yourself good and defending it. If you compromise on that by allowing someone else to defy you as a person, then no body can help you out.

Answer 7

Self respect is something that you can hold on to when everything else fails you. Also, how you feel about yourself and how you view youself affects every aspect of you life. Every peson deserves respect and should respect themselves.

Answer 8

self respect breeds confidence, and with both, the human mind and body are able to create, and creation is the cornerstone of all life

look around you--everything but the nature around you has been made by humans, and those who have made the greatest positive impact on humanity have seemingly had tremendous self-respect

also, life's no fun hating yourself, and if you don't respect yourself, the hate follows closely behind, and hate stifles all things positive

Answer 9

Because if you don't respect yourself, you will not respect others and that is not how you want to live your life.

Answer 10

Because people are like chickens, they have a tendency to peck on the weak ones. You must think highly of your self as a protection. Head up, back straight, lots of good ideas about yourself. Others usually will back off.
