The thing is you believe it is right to yourself. It doesn't need to be praiseworthy, but you need to believe it's praiseworthy. But you wouldn't believe it's praiseworthy if you believe there is no such thing as objective praiseworthiness.
If you believe in no such thing as praiseworthiness you don't need it to be praiseworthiness. It could be argued that if you are true to yourself you cannot believe praiseworthiness as living true to your own belief comes with not worrying about what others think, so therefore is praiseworthiness only relevant when you do not live life by your own belief? So it seems as though praiseworthiness is only relevant if you are not confident to live life this way and need reason from another source, like religion. Praiseworthiness may only be needed if the person needs religion.
