Self-Worth in Relationships

A sense of self-worth is crucial for healthy relationships, not necessarily complete wholeness.
Those lacking self-worth often seek external validation, leading to codependency.

INSIGHT

Love and Self-Worth

Individuals with low self-worth may choose partners who reinforce their negative beliefs.
Alternatively, they might find loving partners but struggle to accept the love offered.

INSIGHT
