Do You Respect Yourself More or Less?
Summary
- Instead of labeling people or situations as toxic, focus on how they affect your self-respect.
- Ask yourself if being in a situation or around a person makes you respect yourself more or less.
- For example, if going to the bar with single friends who flirt with men makes you respect yourself less, then don't hang out with them.
- In your relationships, like marriage, be with someone who promotes, supports, and wants to see you succeed, as this will increase your self-respect.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a few key strategies to help you grow both personally and professionally. These are low-cost, both in terms of money and time, but have high-value returns.
First, instead of labeling people or situations as inherently toxic, focus on how they make you feel about yourself. Constantly ask yourself, "Does being in this situation or around this person make me respect myself more or less?" This simple, reflective question is free but powerful.
For example, if social activities like going to the bar with single friends who flirt with others make you feel bad about yourself, then it's time to cut out those activities. Your time and energy are best spent in situations that make you feel good about who you are.
In your personal life, especially in relationships like marriage, make sure you surround yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed. If your partner supports, promotes, and stands by you, you'll naturally feel more confident and respected. This positive environment boosts your self-respect and helps you grow.
By focusing on the impact people and situations have on your self-respect and making choices that align with your values, you give yourself the power to create a fulfilling life. This method requires no financial investment and just a bit of your time for self-reflection, making it an effective and efficient strategy for personal growth.
