Actress Priyanka Chopra highlighted the crucial lesson from her parents, especially her mother, that true self-worth must be found internally, particularly in moments of failure, isolation, and public criticism, when "the world will kick you even more." Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh affirmed this, stressing that a person's external reality mirrors their internal belief, and that real value is something to be owned, not earned through sacrifice. Delnna emphasized that standing rooted in self-worth fundamentally shapes every relationship by eliminating the need to negotiate dignity, accept "breadcrumbs," or confuse being needed with being valued, making the daily practice of honoring one's boundaries and treating one's self with respect essential for changing how others treat you.
