downvaluing
Lowering perceived merit
Downvaluing is the act of reducing something's perceived worth or importance.
The term appears in psychology and self-help contexts, where it describes diminishing oneself or others: She's always downvaluing her own accomplishments.
In relationships, downvaluing a partner means treating them as less worthy of respect or attention than before.
