✔ 最佳答案
Self-respect is to value yourself, to treat yourself as someone very important so that you don't want to make mistake. Just imagine in the old days if you mistreated a king or noble, your head would be cut off.
Self-respect also means to honor yourself by making yourself honorable, not a disgrace. To become more honorable you have to improve yourself and gain greater merit. All the while you are not hoping for other people's praise, but you want to have a better opinion of yourself.
If you respect yourself you should have a high opinion of yourself. If you haven't yet a good opinion of yourself, you will have to begin improving yourself so that later on your opinion about yourself would improve.
