What does Self-respect mean?
I was looking up how to stop people taking you for granted when I came across something that I can't understand 'Self-Respect' - what is Self-respect?
I even found this definition:

I read this, but it doesn't help... is the reason people take me for granted because I don't have self-respect - how can I have something I don't even understand?
Can anyone help

Riddles I found that people took me for granted because I allowed it. they could always count on me to do this or that because I did this or that. I got to the point that I had to draw a line. I was never mean I just learned to say no.When I\'m not doing something for somebody else I found I had time for me. I meditate and ask for guidance and pray that the voices wont convince me I Need to do something. I dont need to do anything except be the best person I can be without being taken for granted. Say no a couple of times and see just how liberating it can be. I\'ll keep you in my prayers. Greg
Thanks Greg, they always say saying \'no\' is hard - but I\'ll give it a go. Thank you.
People take others for granted because people are all flawed and we live in this century where people don\'t see what they have, and those who have special gifts don\'t give themselves credit for it or allow themselves to to do what is good for them and not just good for others, like what Greg is talking about. There\'s a balance in doing for others and doing for yourself, and if your like me it\'s hard as hell to ask for help or for anything from others, but you need to, everyone needs to. We aren\'t meant to be alone or do everything ourselves
I don\'t know how to ask for help... :(
