Episode 448: The problem with self-respect (most hills are not worth dying on)

People often consider self-respect to be a unilateral positive
that has no downside. However, this isn't true. The problem with
self-respect is that it is costly. Using Linehan's model of
interpersonal effectiveness, I explain why standing up for
yourself can often lead to sub-optimal outcomes. This goal should
only be prioritized sparingly to ensure objective effectiveness
and harmonious relationships.
