Self-respect is the quiet decision to not abandon yourself.
It’s saying no when yes would cost you peace.
It’s leaving the chat, the room, the relationship where you have to shrink to be kept.
It’s wearing the outfit because you like how it feels, not because it’ll make them approve.
It isn’t loud or prideful. Most days it just looks like keeping small promises to yourself: eating when you’re hungry, resting when you’re tired, speaking up when your boundary gets stepped on.
People treat you how you teach them. Self-respect is the first lesson.
