way of thinking. Well, I hate to break it to you,
Start with yourself:
RELATIONSHIP
We start relating and communicating since we
are babies with the people around us, it’s in our
nature to do so. We would communicate with
them by any means and even though we didn’t
speak the language, we expressed what we felt
and what we needed.
Then we learned to listen so we could speak the
language. With added knowledge we continued
to express ourselves and communicate our needs
better to obtain better results.
We look to communicate and bond with others
but it isn’t our first natural instinct, our first
instinct is survival, to survive we require our
own security, and security comes in different
shapes and forms, just like when we were babies
we needed to communicate to obtain what we
needed to survive.
But when it comes to relationships, we are not
only dealing with actions but also emotions, and
emotions is a whole other language, so just like
before we need to learn. Listening to ourselves
will allow us to understand ourselves better, it’s
like teaching our subconscious to learn our
language. Once again accomplishing better
results but more than just results we will
understand our emotions.

Acceptance and empathize
Everybody is different and unique in their own
way, have you ever had a hard time “fitting in”
somewhere? Whether it be at school or work, in
a new group of friends, or even your own
family, we can all relate to feeling unaccepted at
one time or another. On the other hand, many of
us can think of a time that we had trouble
accepting someone else.
Acceptance is the ability to see that others have
a right to be their own unique person. That
means having a right to their own feelings,
thoughts and opinions. When you accept people
for who they are, you let go of your desire to
change them. You let them feel the way they
want to feel, you let them be different and think
differently from you. Everyone is different in
one way or another. Once you understand this
truth, you can stop trying to change them into
the people you want them to be and start
accepting them for who they are.
Acceptance of others’ feelings is not easy when
people act differently than we do. We all have
trouble accepting those who are different. By
learning the skill of empathy, we will be better
able to understand ourselves and those who are
different from us.
Stop trying to control the feelings of others.  or False Self persona that serves as a cover to
Have you ever tried to help other people with a
problem they were having, but you felt like no
matter what you said, you couldn’t get through
to them? Maybe you tried to get them to “see
things your way,” or “think more rationally.” In
but the problem was not with the people you
were trying to help, but rather, with your
approach to helping them.
With feelings, there is no right or wrong answer.
So instead of trying to control or change other
people’s feelings, you must accept their feelings.
We must allow people to have feelings without
telling them how they should feel. Empathetic
people understand that feelings are difficult to
control, and they accept people’s feelings for
what they are.
(By Conover Company)
Being empathetic and validating these feelings is
an important ingredient in a relationship, though
feelings aren’t tangible, they are valuable, and
they do hold a tangible value.
Self-respect is a form of self-love
Self-respect is a form of self-love wherein a
person values his or her own unique and
unrepeatable approach to living Life. It is having
an understanding and appreciation of the
underlying character traits of one’s True Self—
and most importantly—making life choices and
decisions from that authentic aspect of a
person’s personality.
This is very different than relying on one’s ego
show the world only “the good stuff” of a
person’s personality.
The reason self-respect is so important is that it
is the gift we give ourselves when we become
less motivated to please others in order to get
their approval and more motivated to live a life
of authenticity and personal integrity despite
whatever anyone else thinks about us.
However, it is also very difficult for me to show
respect to others if I am lacking self-respect. For
example, it’s the same as if I wanted to give
money to someone, I would first need to have
money in my pocket in order for me to give
money to that person. The same goes for respect.
I can only give it to someone else if I have it
inside me—for myself—in the first place.
Having boundaries for every area of your life
is the best description of self-respect
When you respect yourself, you know when to
say “no” to what is no longer emotionally,
mentally, or financially healthy for you. 
Gaining self-respect is about learning your
worth, knowing your value, and advocating for
yourself, as needed.
Self-respect is important for making mature
decisions that impact your life and the lives of
others connected to you. At the end of the
day, self-respect starts with you but is designed
to have better interpersonal relationships.
I think this is a great summary of self-respect. It
is not just emotional support but rather a
combination of belief in yourself to challenge
yourself and then feel pride that comes with
your accomplishments.
It’s not the need for adoration or perfection but
rather a balance between acceptance and
willingness and openness to grow, push, and because they don’t expect or demand it, and it
change. becomes clear they don’t respect themselves.
It’s the belief that you are worthy of love, The idea of respecting yourself relates to the
attention, and respect, and you are no less than saying, “how can you love someone else if you
anyone else. don’t love yourself? “
Given this belief, you set boundaries with This is certainly true, and we can apply this to
others, essentially drawing a line with regard to friendships and family relationships as well.

it plays out in many ways. A person may be lied
to, talked down to, ignored, left out,
disrespected, and so on. It can happen to any of
us, but the difference is that a self-respecting
person would not accept this, nor would they let
it go without some discussion of how they felt.
You may give the person a chance to explain,
apologize, or change their behavior, but you
would be unlikely to let it happen again and
again. A person who struggles with self-respect
is likely to have trouble in their relationships,
not asserting themselves, being pushed around
or taken advantage of, and is quite unhappy.
At an extreme, people like this often enter into
abusive relationships, sometimes over and over
again. They are often not respected by others,
