Have you ever tried to convince someone to choose you?
I see this more often than you might think—in women I work with, in teenagers, and if I’m being transparent, I’ve experienced it in my own life too.
We chase. We over-explain. We try harder. We become more accommodating. We ignore our own needs. We think, Maybe if I’m patient enough, loving enough, pretty enough, helpful enough, or understanding enough…they’ll finally choose me.
But underneath all of that is often something much deeper:
Self-worth.
Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing lies about ourselves:
I’m too much.
I’m not enough.
People always leave.
I have to earn love.
If they reject me, something must be wrong with me.
Healing begins when we start challenging those lies.
Your worth was never supposed to be determined by someone else’s ability—or inability—to choose you.
Sometimes two people genuinely care about each other and still aren’t able to meet each other in the same place. Sometimes respecting another person’s decision means accepting what they’re telling you instead of trying to change their mind.
And sometimes respecting yourself means walking away even while your heart wishes things were different.
Healing isn’t learning how to stop caring.
It’s learning that you don’t have to abandon yourself to keep someone else.
That lesson has been part of my own journey, and it’s one I hope the women and teens I work with learn much earlier than I did.
Your worth isn’t up for a vote.
