"To lose respect for someone" or "To lose self respect."
Both means losing respect, but the former is for someone else, and latter for yourself.
For example, after what he did, I lost my respect for him.
OR
After failing the test, I lost all my self respect.
Hope it helped:)

Typically, the phrase is "lose my respect (for) (sth/smb)" or "lose my self-respect".
The first one means that you used to respect a person or thing and now you don't. You don't respect it/them anymore.
To lose your self-respect means that you don't respect yourself anymore.
