You believe that valuing your own worth and maintaining dignity leads to a more fulfilling and empowered life.
The "Self Respect" political ideology, also known as "Self-Respect Movement," originated in India in the 1920s. It was initiated by E.V. Ramasamy, commonly known as Periyar, a social activist and politician. The primary objective of this movement was to achieve a society where backward castes have equal human rights, and have the right to live with dignity and self-respect. It was a socio-political movement that aimed to remove the hierarchical, oppressive caste structure and promote equality among all individuals.

Share a time when you had to advocate for yourself – what was the outcome?
@9JPWHCL4mos4MO
When people make assumptions about you according to your appearance, environment, and interests. I had to explain my opinion, and it is usually not listened to because I am a female.
I've had to advocate for myself on multiple occasions, as most teachers and administration call me by my legal name instead of my preferred name.
@9JPBWFY4mos4MO
I had to advocate for myself when my parents put an unfair rule on me, I got it changed.

How do you balance the need to belong with staying true to yourself?
@9L9VMT4Peace and Freedom2mos2MO
I just do what I do I wont change for anyone and everyone doesn't need to like me
@9L9VK9SRepublican2mos2MO

Can standing up for oneself be taught, or is it an inherent trait?
@9J246DH5mos5MO
It can be both. You have to learn how to stand up for yourself in the long run, but you can also get help. I feel getting help from someone and relying on them are two different things. Being taught how to defend yourself could be a good life skill but having someone resue you will never help you.
It is a trait but it can be taught to be stronger and more bold about how you stand up for yourself.
@9J23W9G5mos5MO
I think it is both, self respect can be taught but some peoples personalities can make standing up for themselves easier or harder

@9L36SPMIndependence2mos2MO
I nurture my self respect by not worrying about proving myself to anyone. And I tend to get my real hard work done in private. I don't show everyone my work just for my ego.

How does respecting ourselves change the way we interact with the environment around us?
@9J23PMG5mos5MO
someone who respects themselves know to also respect the things around them and people whom dont have self respect don't care about other things and are more willing to do things that shouldn't be done
@9J235H75mos5MO
Respecting ourselves changes the way we interact with the environment around us in several ways.
When we have self-respect, we tend to set healthy boundaries and prioritize our well-being.
@9J23MYJRepublican 5mos5MO
If we respect ourselves then we will respect the people and things around us.

How does self-respect influence your response to failure or criticism?
@9J24JMT5mos5MO
When one has self respect, they view failure and criticism less negatively. With self respect, a person will not allow pride to get in the way of learning from their failure and they will more easily accept their mistakes. With criticism, a person with self respect will be more accepting of their short comings and of feedback from those they trust.
Self respect is being kind to yourself and knowing youre worth even though you make mistakes
@ISIDEWITH7mos7MO
In what ways do you think society or peer pressure challenges an individual's self-respect?
@9HDQ2FG6mos6MO
Peer pressure can make you do things that you would never do on any given day, that's the definition of it. I think peer pressure should be stopped and shouldn't be able to do things over you.
@9HDPLNY6mos6MO
It tests to see you you will crack under enough pressure.
@9H9MMQV6mos6MO
The immense amount of lies and media propaganda makes it incredibly difficult for one to obtain this

How has standing up for something you believe in changed the way you view yourself?
@9HGX4VS6mos6MO
I think it does not matter as much as we voice our freedom of speech we are not heard by anyone.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Have you ever made a difficult choice to stay true to yourself?
@9J24W5N5mos5MO
We live in a period where if you don't do what society expects, you are shunned. So if you make one group happy, you can make another mad.
