This is something I have trouble with, though I shouldn't because everyone should like themselves. Don't always work out that way though.

Does this mean we also do not have an ego, if we don't have respect for ourselves? I don't have much of an ego.

Self-esteem and a sense of self-esteem are things I work on daily. For some, it comes naturally, others have to work on it. hug

Agreed.
I feel it makes a huge difference the type of pple who surrounded a person when growing up, the types of pple one hung out with etc, what kinds of things one was told or heard constantly as well.

If one hears the same negative things about oneself growing up, then it becomes like a broken record in your head, if that's all one hears, then it becomes the truth in your mind.

Must erase those records, and start over with all positive thoughts!

Lillie, that is absolutely true. It is a struggle to turn off negative thoughts you have grown up with. sigh

Self respect

Pride and confidence in oneself.

A feeling that one is behaving with honor and dignity
