Which behaviour is appropriate for maintaining self-respect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Respecting oneself while correcting one’s mistakes
Healthy self-respect means recognising one’s dignity and worth while also accepting responsibility for mistakes. Option A combines self-acceptance with a willingness to improve, so it is the most balanced response. Constant self-blame can damage confidence, always underestimating one’s abilities creates an unfairly negative self-image, and putting others down is disrespectful. Self-respect does not require arrogance or denial of mistakes; it involves dignity, accountability, and constructive improvement.
