"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

This famous quote is credited to one of the first ladies, Eleanor Roosevelt. This quote says a lot about self-esteem and dignity. If we think deeply, this statement seems very true and powerful.

We have a responsibility to maintain our dignity and self-respect. We must believe in ourselves. No matter what others say, we should be who we are. We cannot grasp who we are supposed to be just by someone's statement. No one can make you feel inferior unless you have inferiority complex or inferiority complex. In other words, you have to control your feelings and emotions because you are responsible for them.

Why no one can make you feel inferior without your consent

You should always feel good about yourself and be proud of who you are. In this racially diverse world, we should face situations where people try to demean us through comments. But we should always be positive and control our reactions. We should never retaliate for such fake reviews. We only feel inferior when we agree with comments related to inferiority. So ignore such comments.

If you are positive in your life, any negative comments won't bother you and you can easily ignore them. We should never let other people's comments affect our state of mind. A mosquito trying to bite us is a great example of our refusal to let anyone hurt us.

If we were aware of a mosquito, we would never let it bite us. So why should we let these fake reviews bother us? Don't even let them sit on top of you. Abuse touches the center of an individual's emotional state. We feel ashamed because somewhere in our hearts and minds we are afraid that whatever is being said might be true in some way.

Being influenced by other people's comments is a bad habit. Just like any other bad habit, this one can be changed. One just needs some practice and a little meticulousness. We should always try to resist the urge to let such fake reviews enter our minds. Once this is done, our minds will calm down.

Suppose in the grocery store, expensive products are marked with low prices and cheap products with high prices - what is our response? We would say, "That's not true."

The message here is that the more respect we have for ourselves, the less chance there is for other people's comments or opinions to have any meaning. True, we want confirmation and approval, but if we want to be successful in life, we should trust our heartfelt confirmation and approval.

We should be as confident in ourselves as the sun rises. The key to our happiness and sustenance is our belief in who we are and who we are - although it's not easy when we're ignored. But as mentioned above, get in the habit of ignoring fake reviews. Trust me; you will be the happiest person on earth. You should learn how to stay happy while being jerked (when you're not getting the love, care, and respect you expect or deserve).
