Self-respect versus feelings is a poignant tug-of-war, especially for women who often find themselves balancing the needs of others with their own dignity.
Let's discuss how women sometimes prioritize others' feelings over their self-respect.
Take Tina, for example, always apologizing, even when she's not at fault, just to keep the peace in her family, letting herself be walked over.π
Then there's Maya, forgiving her partner's disrespect because she is afraid of being alone, sacrificing her self-respect for the sake of maintaining the relationship, even though it's hurting her.βΉ
Tina needs to learn to stand up for herself and express her feelings, even if it causes temporary conflict within her family.β
And Maya needs to realize she deserves respect, even if it means walking away from a toxic relationship. πΆββοΈ
Yet, it's not always easy.
Society often portrays prioritizing self-respect as selfishness, especially for women.
But it's not selfish to establish boundaries, it's an act of self-preservation.
Prioritize SELF RESPECT, ladies.π§‘
What do you often end up choosing?
