3. Boost your self-esteem every day
Make a list of your achievements, virtues, and learnings. Remembering what you are worth gives you strength in the face of those who try to diminish you.
4. Use silence as a response
Sometimes, the best way to respond is not to respond. Intelligent silence displaces the arrogant and demonstrates self-control.
5. Surround yourself with people who value you
Seek healthy relationships with those who drive you, not those who wear you down. The right company can completely change your outlook and energy.
6. Set clear boundaries
If someone speaks to you with contempt, say it calmly but firmly:
“I don’t like the way you’re talking to me.”
Learning to say it without guilt is a form of self-respect.
