My thoughts on self respect
One who has self respect:
1. Enters an argument on his/her own terms
2. Speaks from their principles
3. Refuses to stoop to personal insults
4. Never begs for approval
5. Never explains themselves unnecessarily
6. Walks away without needing a “final word”
7. Leaves their name, identity, and views open
Who had real self respect?
The one who:
1. Doesn’t flinch under pressure
2. Doesn’t need a support circle to speak truth
3. Doesn’t beg for sympathy on the way out
4. And doesn’t shift goalposts to avoid being held accountable
People who don’t even understand the depth of this, aren’t even worthy of being discussed.
