Takeaways

We often degrade ourselves to fit into others' comfort zones. Self-deprecation can stem from low self-worth and fear of rejection. Accepting poor treatment can lead to emotional turmoil and resentment. Compromising values erodes our sense of self and identity. Recognizing patterns of poor treatment is the first step to healing. Setting boundaries is crucial for self-respect and self-worth. Building self-esteem requires self-compassion and positive self-talk. Affirmations can help rewrite negative narratives about ourselves. Reclaiming your value is a journey that involves self-awareness and support. You are worthy of respect, kindness, and love.
