Problems with self-esteem begin because a person simply does not know how to respect himself.

For a long time, several generations were taught that it is unacceptable to be selfish, that a person should think about others first. But they were not taught to think a little about themselves.

As a result, there are people who are afraid to express their opinions for fear that others will judge them.

In this article we will tell you how to stop being afraid of others and learn to respect yourself.

Step by step instructions

1. First of all, stop communicating with those who are not interested in it, avoid it, or do not value your opinion.

2. Don't try to attract attention, don't ask or try to gain trust - self-respect does not depend on the opinions of others.

3. Speak only to the point, briefly and simply.

4. Don't be afraid to tell the truth to the face of someone who doesn't respect you.

5. Develop as a person, expand your horizons, gain new knowledge – all this will instill confidence in you at the right moment.

6. Never gossip or take part in such conversations.

7. Before you say anything, think about what impression your words will make on others and how they will affect your reputation.

8. Set only realistic goals for yourself and work towards achieving them.

9. What should be most valuable is not material things, but your time, which people often waste on trifles.

10. Learn to do what you personally enjoy. Spend money on your needs, don't expect anything from others, and try to be where you are always welcome.
