Self Respect

Scanlas The 2nd

What is it?

I was reading the tallafornia thread and some people seem convinced Nikita doesn't respect herself. I wouldn't be so sure about that, but I'm not actually sure what people really mean by "self respect".

Psuedo-psychological Oprah Winfrey show babble. Like "empowerment".

I have never watched Tallafornia, but I understand self-respect as accepting what you are and your right to be just that, as long as you do no harm to others and preferably do someone a good turn if you can, and at the same time expect to be treated the same and are prepared to stand up for yourself if others try to treat you unfairly or unjustly.

"Tallafornia" and "self-respect". Words that don't belong in a sentence together.

Not letting people walk all over you. Agreeing to things that are not reasonable compromises show a lack of self-respect.

Orando Broom

Nikita is a woman who is "no doin' it fo' hersel".

Question: How can y'all get self-respec if y'all ain't gettin' paaaaaid?

Beruthiel

I see it as having a moral and ethical code for yourself, by which you live by.
Self respect being what you have for yourself because you live by that code and never break it.

I've never seen Tallafornia but do people say Nikita has no self respect because she sleeps with men or something?

It would appear so. If she practised safe sex on every encounter then i would not have an issue with it. If a woman sleeps around and has unprotected sex then i would deem that woman to not have any self respect for herself. Same theory goes for men.

Self respect is a term thrown around that doesn't mean anything. It's subjective to the individual.

Say I love me some heroin and think it's great and I treat myself to some everyday, then I must be very self respecting because I am giving myself something that I love and respect.



....But don't take drugs and don't act like a whore basically is what it means....

I think you're mixing up self respect and self esteem OP.

I'd say that shows a lack of respect for the people on the other end of the genitalia, particularly people who wind up being long-term partners.

Any who, people who use phrases like this kind of just say them without really thinking about the words. Like "Exception that proves the rule." What? First off, that makes no sense, secondly, you're missing, like, half of the quote when you say it.

Not sure I can be of more assistance, op, I have more self respect than to watch shlock like Tallafornia.

Maybe they mean this in the Biblical sense.

Sometimes I don't "respect myself" either because I'm a dirty, feckless cum-shedder who touches himself in the dark.
