If you don’t know your worth, people will decide it for you, and most times they’ll put it way lower than it really is. I learned that the hard way.
There was a time I let people treat me in ways I didn’t deserve just ‘cause I didn’t want them to leave. I thought being nice meant accepting almost anything. Thought keeping the peace meant shutting up about how I felt. But each time I stayed quiet when something hurt me, I was kind of/indirectly telling or teaching them it was fine to keep doing it.
Knowing your worth is not all about being proud or thinking you’re above anyone. It’s more like understanding you deserve respect, kindness, honesty. And yeah, setting boundaries without feeling bad for it.
when you start standing up for yourself, just know that it wont go down well with everyone as most of them won't like it. They might say you’ve changed or you’re difficult now. don't bother yourself , it is okay. your limits will definately be respected by the ones who know your value . The rest? They were never supposed to be in your life for long anyway.
Being popular or how much service you render to people has nothing to do with your worths.
It’s not about grades or looks or who follows you online. It’s just the plain truth that you matter simply by being you.
you will stop chasing after people who can’t see your worth if you can establish and know your worth.. You stop begging for attention and start spending your time with those who actually care. You stop settling for less.
i will not lie, it’s not always easy. Some days, doubts creep back in. But the more you practice self-respect, the stronger it sticks.
You are enough. You matter. And when you start believing that deep down, life hits different.
