We Don’t Lose Our Self-Worth. We Give It Away
Here’s how to maintain it.
You can always rely on a bad relationship to help strip you of your self-worth. Especially if the narcissistic tendencies of a partner are high.
It’s a trap many have fallen into.
Or what about the painful loss of a business, combined with financial ruin? Yeah, that will do it too.
And then, there’s the comparison trap, oh now there’s a big one. Especially in this fast-paced and pressured to succeed society. Where you have to jump out of the womb and from that day, be the best version of yourself. Not possible!
Yes, life can be a tough call. And change can be difficult to implement when you have a pattern you keep falling into.
But what’s harder still, is staying in the loop of misery. And happiness that relies on the dependence of others.
If you do not know your own value, somebody will tell you your value, and it’ll be less than your worth — Bernard Hopkins
I spent years giving away my self-worth. I now know I did it because I grew up with a parent who thought criticism was the best way to get your child to do better. Because he had not experienced and been taught himself, that loving, nurturing, and encouraging was the way to go.
