Self-worth

I wish I can be like that man who everyone likes. He dresses well, speaks well and is financially comfortable judging by his looks. This are the thought of most people when they see someone who looks successful and polished. Well it's not out of place to desire something good, but what is really out of place is wishing you're that person. We all have something in us that makes us unique, from one person to another. It may be your skill, your talent, personality or how well you are able to solve problems. Realising what makes you standout and placing a value on yourself is what increases your self-worth.

Self-worth is having an understanding that you're special, good and that you deserve to be respected in your own right. Selfworth is the value you place on yourself. One thing is sure, if you do not value yourself no body would value you. People will treat you just by observing how well you treat yourself. You can't be timid and expect people to treat you like how they'd treat a bold person.

I have come to understand that our inadequacies as humans affects how we see ourselves. Some peope think low of themselves because of their appearance; I have to dress well to be accepted, valued or to feel good about myself. I have to be in a particular social class to be accepted and to feel good about myself. I have to be  beautiful to be loved. If you cannot love or appreciate yourself enough no body would. Every human is flawed, we have our strengths and weaknesses. No human has attained perfection yet. What you lack you make up for it with something stronger.

This is how you know you have a self-worth problem
1. I dont think I'd be accepted because I dont have what it takes.
2. They dont give me attention.
3. They all look intimidating.
4. Staying in an abusive relationship.
5. You're more concerned about what people think about you.

Improving your selfworth
1. You have to learn to love yourself, accept 'you' for who you are. You are unique, nobody can be like you. This is the only way you can show people how to treat you.
2. Stay away from people who make you feel you're not good enough for them. It will help your sanity.
3. Learn everyday; learn new skills and improve on existing one. This would increase your self-confidence and also your self-worth.
4. Always say this, nobody is better than me, I am unique and special. You gradually become what you say.
5. What people think about you is just their opinion, it's not truly who you are. Dont allow peoples opinion define you.

Note this:

* Your relationship status doesnt affect your self-worth, whether single, or in a committed relationship.

* The number of friends you have, or the connections you have has nothing to do with your value as a human. It is the quality of relationship that really matters.
* Your bank account doesnt entirely determine your worth as human.

You are the only one who determines your self-worth. If you believe you're worthy and valuable, you are worthy and valuable.
