A saying of the Rebbe, my father-in-law: that the prohibition of Lashon Hara includes not speaking Lashon Hara about oneself.

 This teaching from the Rebbe’s father-in-law, the Frierdiker Rebbe (Rebbe Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn), emphasizes that the prohibition of Lashon Hara (speaking negatively about others) extends even to speaking negatively about oneself. In Chassidic thought, this underscores the importance of self-respect and positivity, as speaking ill of oneself can also diminish one's spiritual energy and connection to Hashem.
