Self-worth
By Meryem Erkan · Published on
The basic assumption that you count, even when you are not achieving anything and are of no use to anyone. Not to be confused with self-confidence, which relates to abilities.
Someone with self-confidence trusts themselves to do things. Someone with self-worth can also bear not being able to do something. In relationships, low self-worth rarely shows up as insecurity, but mostly as fitting in: you make yourself smaller so as not to be too much.
If you like, I will walk with you a little further.
Every Thursday a letter, written for women, with one thought you can try out in everyday life.
If your relationship involves violence, systematic belittling, control or isolation, this is not a question of communication. In Germany, the violence against women helpline is available around the clock, free and anonymously on 116 016. Elsewhere, please contact your local emergency services or a local helpline.
