Value can simply be said to be the worth of something.
This is going to be a short write up but it's going to make us do some soul searching.
The value we place on things is reflected on how we treasure or handle it. When we place a high value on a thing we handle it care or guard it with our lives.
I remember buying an expensive wrist watch some years back and how I treasured the watch. I made sure nothing happened to the watch, I would clean it every morning and wore it mostly to important occasions.
Let me ask us this question, what value do you place on yourself?. The value we place on ourselves is reflected in the way people treat us. When people notice that you don't place much value on yourself, they will treat you with disregard or without respect. Imagine buying a car that is worth millions of dollars, any right thinking human being would know that the car has value and would treasure it.
Imagine going for a job interview and you are being asked how much you are worth or how much you think you should be paid, and you answer by saying any amount is okay by you. They people there would just know that you are of no value and you will end up not getting the job.
Some persons are in an abusive relationship because the don't place value on themselves. They are thinking who would want to date a person like me.
I remember talking to a young lady some years back and asking her why she was still in an abusive relationship, her reply was shocking. She told me who would want to end up with a lady like her. I then figured out that she felt her she had no value. This particular discussion made me understand that no matter what I would tell her, she would not leave the abusive relationship. I figured out I have to first of all work on her self-esteem and let her see how precious she was
.
The way we are being treated by others is simply a reflection of the value we place on ourselves. When people see that you don't place much value on yourself they would disrespect, maltreat, abuse and sometimes if it's in the workplace, they would infringe on our rights.
If you didn't value yourself it's time to do that.

Ok, I see my previous comment has been ignored successfully by you, so here I am again, to let you know that OCD community is for topics that don't fit in any other community and should be used when you don't find a niche community for your post.
This post would fit better in Self Improvement community, so next time please choose the right niche community.
Here's a guide I put together to help you learn about how communities work and why you should use them -> Communities Explained - Newbie Guide. I also put together a list of communities, which is not complete, there are much more communities on Hive, but it will help you get started.
Once you posted your post in the right community, you can then cross post it to OCD community. Here's a guide about cross posting.
Please don't delete any post with the purpose of reposting it in another community as that can be considered abuse. Leave this post here, you'll get it right next time.
