“The most important, difficult and rewarding thing to work on is yourself.” – Sven Schnieders
Not all people are same and neither we expect the same as we are from everyone. There are person who are completelly different and may lose the respect they deserve. False claims, turning away from your words,low on confidence etc. are few of the examples of people with no self respect. We have so many videos, lectures on self respect but people fail to gain from it. Self respect is something which needs to nurtured in kids since childhood, but many parents failed to do so, due to various reason. And when they grows up, they have to work hard to earn it, what they deserve.

Values
It is our action, our words our behaviours which matters most and set the tone with how others will interact with us. When we respect ourself, others will also respect us. All living beings are worthy of respect. Our sense of self respect comes from how we see or feel about ourselves.
Self respect is all about whar we are capable of, who we are, and what we can achieve.
Self respect often be identified with the level of values that a person carries with the. Values are generally the firm beliefs about what is important or desirable to us in life. The various examples of values are : integrity, tolerance, wisdom, loyality, commitment etc. A person with self respect always obey these value and make sure never to spoil them with their act. Maintaining self - respect involves standing up for self, setting personal boundaries, and refusing to compromise on values or beliefs. If we were wrong, admit it. We won't lose dignity, but surely will gain respect. In other words, it can be said, self respect is the sense that we have of our own importance and value, and other people respect for us.

As previously said, it is a quality in human being, which are nurtured in kids since childhood. But how to earn it when we grown up and lacks the important piece in life. But thst going to be hardest thing to do, as it requires a lot of effort in moulding your at such an age. But it is manageable. Here are certain ways, which needed to worked upon to get your self respect.
- Stop Arguing : Many people tend to get into unnecessary discusion. It is important to avoid unless and untill it benefit us.
- Take action : Action speaks louder than words. The more you prove yourself by doing things are better uterine nonsense words.
- Stop smarting : Never ever try to prove to be smarter than other. And even try to oversmart others. Be what you are in real.
- Avoid dependency : Always make sure to live by own. A little dependency will surely hling to hurt. Whatever you do, take your own responsibility.

Self-respect is knowing about what we are worthy for and treating ourself accordingly. Our self - respect is in our own hands. We are the ones who need to guard it from being trodden. We need to create a space for ourself. Whether it be professional or personal life, a little distancing will always help. Talking about a case, which made me to write this piece is that, recently, I was pinpointed for having a friendly relation with my nephews who are much younger in age. But I belive, it is the need of the time to have a closer look on the upcoming generstion. But to make sure, while being friendly we need to behave in a more dignified manner, for them to have a sense of respect for us. Which me and my nephew always knew. They always respect me, and always stand by my side. But other people consider it to be a worthless behaviours.
But I believe that everyone has their own identity, which should always be respected, no matter how hard one needs to fight for it. If we love ourself, learn to have ourself respected too. It’s our right!!!
