Respecting oneself is applicable across every single interaction we will have had in our lifetime. When we disrespect ourselves by “showing up” to situations that do not serve us, we are teaching people how to disrespect us. Be reminded, though, that “showing up” is not only specific to actual events, but giving people access to treat us in ways that go against who we are in Christ. We are encouraged to stop letting greed, lust, lack, fear, status, etc., force us to disrespect ourselves.
