How to learn to believe in yourself
If you believe in something or feel uncomfortable doing something, don’t let someone else’s opinion convince you otherwise, especially when they can’t prove anything to you convincingly.

1. Take a stand with your partner.
2. Stop comparing yourself.

What happens when you lose self-respect?
When you give more than you receive in a relationship, you’d start to lose more of your self-respect. And with time, your perfect relationship could turn into a clingy one-sided love story. Here are five situations that could arise because of your low self-respect.
1. You lose your voice in the relationship.
2. You become a puppet
You meekly string along with your partner because you genuinely believe you have nothing of value to add to the relationship.
3. You’re not taken seriously
By the people that matter to you. You could end up just being an object or an accessory because your opinions offer no value or objections.
4. You think you’re not worthy
Instead of experiencing a balanced relationship with equal love, you truly start to believe that your partner is worthy of a person who’s so much better than you.
5. Love starts to crumble
Your partner will start to believe that they deserve someone better because you’re just not good enough for them. And you, on the other hand, would feel stifled and confused. And even if you voice an opinion, it may just anger or annoy your partner because they don’t think you’re worthy of being heard.
What does self-respect in a relationship give you?
In a short sentence? A better life.
You may not realize this, but self-respect will make everyone else take you more seriously.
