He that respects himself is safe from others;
he wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
How is it that one achieves self respect, or self worth?
I find throughout my days, I can't help but feel that no matter what I do, I am no good. No matter how many good things I do, they'll never justify the bad. I go through my day trying to be a good person. And at the end of it, always feel that I've failed. It changes the way you are able to take criticism from outside. I become so easily hurt. But I don't believe myself to be a victim. I'm not a victim, of anyone but myself. I don't want pity, I just don't want my own guilt. What is humble, and what is self hate? Couldn't it be perceived as a very fine line?
