pdm22...….regarding your article about self esteem vs. self respect....I can remember reading that same thing in a psychology textbook,in the section on adolescent development, quite a while back......The example that it gave was "school-yard bullies". That they often do have a very favorable opinion of themselves...and, seem to revel in that...
I remember that I was quite surprised to learn that!
It does sound counter-intuitive.....
LOl...I, now, feel motivated to go digging for more on that subject.....
