Self-respect seems to be the medication prescribed for people who have “low self-esteem.”

Many people lack confidence or esteem. Some were verbally abused as children; others have endured insults from a spouse, friend or boss. Whatever the reason, the person feels inferior to those around him.

Many of the world's top psychologists, as well as other so-called experts, teach that in order to overcome this problem, one should learn to respect himself.

These “experts” teach that respecting others is impossible without first learning to respect yourself.
