Can standing up for oneself be taught, or is it an inherent trait?

I believe "Self Respect" is taught. Whether you gain it from; parental advice, friends, morals, etc, it is taught.

All of life is a lesson - a series of experiences yielding wins and losses. As you grow, so does your ability to protect your peace.

It can be both. You have to learn how to stand up for yourself in the long run, but you can also get help. I feel getting help from someone and relying on them are two different things. Being taught how to defend yourself could be a good life skill but having someone resue you will never help you.

I think it depends on the individual. Parents teach you how to protect yourself in life situations. Sometimes you can be put in a fight or flight situation.

It is a trait but it can be taught to be stronger and more bold about how you stand up for yourself.

I think it is both, self respect can be taught but some peoples personalities can make standing up for themselves easier or harder

I think that self respect can be a trait inherent trait you don't need to be taught in order to stand up for another.
