When Eleanor Roosevelt said,"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent," she was acknowledging the power of __________ to affect your emotional response to what people say and do.

A) gunny-sacking
B) self-talk
C) rapport
D) I language

Self-talk refers to the internal dialogue we have with ourselves that can greatly influence our emotional responses to external events. In this quote, Eleanor Roosevelt recognizes that we have control over how we interpret and react to other people's words and actions. No one can make us feel a certain way unless we allow ourselves to be affected by their words or behavior. It is up to us to use positive self-talk and choose to perceive situations in a way that empowers us instead of making us feel inferior.
