I read a document on the internet about self-respect by Joan Didion. From the Article I learned that self-respect has nothing to do with others approval ,in fact it is all about yourself and no one can determine if you have any respect for yourself because e the only you can know if you respect yourself “The dismal fact is that self-respect has nothing to do with the approval of others — who are, after all, deceived easily enough” Joan Didion. You character is who you are and what people know about you ,so showing yourself character respect will make people automatically respect you ,just because you respected yourself. If you have no self- respect mean you have no self-worth which will make feel worthless and that is definitely the worse feeling any person have , because you wiull think that you are not worth living. I connect this specifically to parents who taught me how important to have respect for you self and others.
