9 Statements Women Make When They Don't Love Themselves Enough

Jul 18, 2018

In spite of living in a society that is mostly progressive, women still often feel insecure. It's not surprising, given that historically women have been treated as inferior, and even still are today in varying degrees throughout the world. Here are nine statements women make when they need to learn to be more secure and love themselves.

Often, women think they need to hold back their opinion. Society may have tought you to "keep quiet". But really, your opinion matters and you should speak your mind.

If you are being treated poorly, you never deserve it. No matter what you tell yourself, you may have done to make someone angry. What you really deserve is a happy and fulfilled life surrounded by loving people.

If he hurts you at all, you are not the problem. He is. Women often tend to excuse other people´s behavior: "He was drunk." or "He was sad". There is never an excuse for their behavior, so stick up for yourself!

There's no problem in admiring people who do great things in their life. But most importantly you need to admire yourself, as well. Be your own sun and proud of who you are!

Being positive is one thing - not being able to say "no" is something else. Only agree to things you really want, even if this means you need to get used to being uncomfortable.

Are you sure? You're more powerful than you think. Realize your full potential - and if you need advice or support, you can always get it. 

When you're not loving yourself enough, it's hard to feel secure about someone else loving you. And that will drive other people away in the long run, even though they might love you. So start treating yourself with respect, the same way you deserve respect from others.

If you have an opinion about where you'd like to go, don't keep it to yourself. Take responsibility for your life and for how you lead it. If you let other people decide your future, you are not living up to your full potential.

Don't ever let people tell you you are not good enough. Including yourself. You might have to learn certain things, but so does everyone other person in the world. And you are definitely worthy of success, love and a happy life.
