Self-worth: why not value yourself?

How you present yourself to people is what they are going to address you as. This is very important in life. When you carry yourself like a king, people will treat you like a king. When you carry yourself like a queen, people will treat you like a queen. Whatever you put out there is what people are going to give back. Sometimes it's hard to find self-worth, especially when you are young. 

Sometimes when you're around people who have high self-worth, it's very refreshing. We've all met someone like that before. Someone who can talk to anyone and still make a positive impression. Someone who can walk into a room and instantly light it up with positive energy.

It is important to realize your potential. Self-worth is the most important thing about you. You have the power to be anything you want to be when you have self-worth. Self-worth is something that comes from within you. You cannot buy it or receive it from someone else. You have to realize your own potential by how you carry yourself and present yourself to others.

You can be a person that is really motivated towards a goal, but if you don't have self-worth, you will never be able to get to that goal. Motivation is what makes you get up every day and want to reach your goals. You need to learn how to motivate yourself so that you don't need another person motivating you. Being able to motivate yourself will make you more successful in the long run.

Make one change today that will make you more confident about your self-worth. Being more confident about yourself will help you motivate yourself towards your goals because you have learned to respect and love yourself.

People need to start loving themselves more. I know, it sounds crazy but how can you really reach your full potential if you don't love yourself enough to even try? You can't. Self-worth is very important. The way you present and carry yourself will determine how people will address you. When you go out into the world, no one knows what’s inside of you so they must make their judgments based on the outside. If you look like a mess, they're going to assume that you’re also a mess and aren't worth their time. So please, take care of yourself and always present yourself in the best light possible.


A successful person reflects powerful self-worth in their words, anger and actions. When these people are faced with a situation that challenges their self-worth, they do not falter on the inside or outside.

Possible reasons why someone has low self-worth:

1) A parent who was abusive due to stress or some other reason.

2) Poor parenting skills

3) Being neglected by a parent

4) Having someone around them tell them "You are not good enough."

5) History of being abused or being around abusive people.

6) An absent parent (may bring up anger, resentment but it can also lead to higher self-esteem because they had to "step up" and be a parent to themselves.

When you go out into the world, no one knows what’s inside of you so they must make their judgments based on the outside. If you look like a mess, they're going to assume that you’re also a mess and aren't worth their time. So please, take care of yourself and always present yourself in the best light possible.

A slight correction:
Some people still judge not because of the outside but because they are probably in severe need of something or because they feel such a person might be pretending not to be what they say they are. Why did I say this?

A close friend of mine told me what happen to her yesterday while we were strolling. She said a guy called her when she was about to enter her hostel, she said the guy told him if she is available for a hookup. It's not just hookup he meant though, he also meant if they can have some night together doing all sorts of immoralities and she was like why she? She told the guy she is not like every other girl on the campus and she left. Will you believe that the guy still ran after her telling her she will pay her if she agrees and she declines again that she is not the type of lady, so she left. She was telling me with tears on her face that, why will a guy walk up to her and make such an offer to her, she said she has to look at her dress twice to know if she actually dresses like those who does such but no, she didn't. I know her very well, she doesn't dress anyhow and she is a decent person.

She would have accepted such a dirty offer if she doesn't know her worth, she would have followed the guy if she doesn't value herself or place any worth on herself. Self-worth will go a long way in one's life if such a person knows the true meaning of what it is to him/her.

Will you now say, such a person was judged on the outside look? No, it was the guy who has a wrong perception of her and because the guy was desperate to do what he wants to do that night, that's why he could just pick her with an innocent face. The guy must have thought about it that she looks innocent and feel such a person might be pretending and can be one of those who do that.

I will put a stop here and assume we all have learnt something new today. I appreciate your time for reading my article, God bless you all.

Bye for now 🥰🥰🥰.

This is very true, how you composes yourself determines how people quickly judge you or say about you. Even if you're engaging in a bad acts, once you've been able to compose yourself on the outside, you've succeeded in paving that mindset away from the mind of people. The one that bafles me most is the yahooo boys, they have their ways of dressing and if any young boy start following those pattern of moves even if he's not into Yahoo, people would conclude that he's one of them

Don't ignore your own potential. You have to love yourself before people can love you.

Like I always tell my friends, the way you dress is the same way you will be addressed.

We will be addressed by the way we dress and people will surely call us what we call ourselves. It's important for me to value myself. Thanks for this eye-opener

We have to have big self-worth for our self because we don’t know what people will talk or encounter bad things towards us because of the low self-worth we’ve shown to them. Having big self-worth is really a big advantage.

This is one of the most important topics that needed to be taught to younger generations these days.. they are getting into trouble without realizing their worth. I keep telling everyone time and time again to just value them despite what society thinks

If we have less self confidence & self respect, then the society, the outer world will not respect us. Care for own personality is must.
