The opinions that others have of us affects us most when we are not convinced about who we are.
It’s self-doubt that creates the space for others to influence how we feel about ourselves.
Be it a troubled relationship with a family member, a partner, an ex spouse, or even a friend or colleague, the moment their words about us weighs more than what we think of ourselves, we need to recognise that we needed validation more than we needed companionship or a healthy relationship with them.
Our disappointment in them when they behave badly should not extend to disappointment in ourselves.
The moment we judge ourselves harshly after they’ve treated us badly, we’re diminishing our self-worth by believing that we’re not even good enough for someone who has questionable values.
That’s how we lose ourselves to the lack of self-respect in others, or in ourselves.
