  My personal technique whenever someone disrespects me is to take that one sentence they&apos;ve just said and ask them in a calm manner &quot;Why did you say that ?&quot; . Last time a colleague made a joke that was an insult to my job but disguised as a joke - so I asked him in front of everyone &quot;What makes you think the work I do is useless ?&quot;. And he couldn&apos;t answer the question because clearly my work is useful in my company it&apos;s just not very technical and that particular colleague only respects highly technical people. So there&apos;s not need to engage in a verbal fight whenever someone disrespects us, just ask them to justify what they&apos;ve just said. Reasonable people will never attack you or insult you, if they have a feedback to give you about yourself or your work they will do it in a quiet way. Unreasonable, jealous, hateful people will resort to insults and passive agressivness and there&apos;s just no need to stoop to their level.

  1. Speak up<br>2. Don&apos;t stick to people who put you down<br>3. Align with your values<br>4. Keep the promises you made to yourself<br>5. Know who you are, only trust yourself and don&apos;t feel forced to be the person you aren&apos;t

  Someone once told me that other people’s opinions of you are none of your business and I’ve always remembered that

  I think the part about misaligned values was a huge eye-opener for me. The times when I notice my inner dialogue being the most negative towards myself is right after I have failed to keep a promise to myself, or when I have done (or not done) something that goes against my values. I&apos;m going to reflect on this, and I believe this will help drive me to be the person I want to be. This has helped so much! Thank you! You really have a way of explaining the crux of these issues clearly, concisely, and with excellent examples!

  I did not do well in therapy my first time (1.5 years) because I felt I was always being affirmed; it drove me crazy because I felt like I was getting very little out of it and not growing/changing at all.<br><br>Videos like this help; your outside perspective helps with self-reflection.

  I recently had to take part in a study about boosting self esteem for my psych degree and they had us doing affirmations, listening to &quot;empowering&quot; music (whatever that means to you i guess) and a bunch of other stuff. Truly, the only thing that worked for me was reducing my time spent on certain social media apps.

  I needed this. My self-esteem sucks pretty bad no matter what I’ve tried
