Meaning
The quote reads as a statement about self-respect shaping the treatment one receives from others. It can be taken to mean that dignity is not only demanded from the outside, it is signaled by the way a person carries and values herself. It lands in relationships where someone expects care from a partner while also accepting treatment that undercuts their own worth.
