The Impact of Self-Worth on Relationships

Many men struggle with feelings of unworthiness in their relationships, often stemming from unmet expectations and deterioration in communication and affection over time. This sense of unworthiness leads them to believe they are not good enough for their partners, affecting their confidence and behavior within the relationship. It’s emphasized that self-worth is not determined by external validation but must come from within.
