Benefits of self respect
The internal sense of happiness: People who respect themselves are aware that to find their worth, esteem, and happiness, they must first look within. Because of this, their lives are more stable and satisfying than those of people who base their self-worth on what others think of them or on outside validation.
Dedication to upholding one's own values: People who respect themselves have a set of morals and values that they use to judge the quality of their behavior. Since their very self-worth and sense of self-worth depend on adhering to these norms of behavior, they are frequently willing to stake everything on doing so.
Possessing the courage to set boundaries and stand up for them when they are violated is necessary for having self-respect. The ability to command the respect of others comes from respecting oneself enough to stand up for one's values and personal boundaries.
Strong sense of self-respect entails honoring one's position and person at all times and having a strong sense of dignity toward them.
