RiotGirl -> RE: How do you show a girl her true worth? (2/19/2006 8:28:37 PM)

i'm one of those girls too. Ugly things in the past bring me low on myself. i know what helped me conquer them more so then i ever thought to do was Him. Being able to open up and share.. tell, did wonders for me. Took away alot of shame. Tho i dont know about the whole self worth thing. Being able to tell some one the ugly things.. all of them.. and to be accepted to not be looked at differently or to have them used against me. i dont think it gave me "self worth" nor did i find myself valuable all of a sudden. But i think i was able to let go of the whole "i'm really a terrible person, just no one knows it" thing. Yeah, i realised i'm not a bad person and i dont have to hide in shame anymore. But that doesnt make me a valuable person. So to speak, if you understand? i dont see how bringing it to light gains anyone self worth. i am not all of a sudden worthy because the ugly things in the past are out the closet. Yes i know he accepts me and i knew the minute i looked in his eyes the next morning. They didnt view me differently. But what does self esteem, being accepted, or any of that have to do with self worth? your questions: quote:
so how do you get her to relax and not worry that you will not look down on her Treat her excatly the same as you did before she opened up. Not letting what you know change how you view her. She is after all, really the same person, you just gained more knowledge. quote:
If you tell her it’s ok, and she still is nervous what you think of her, can she learn she is being loved and accepted for what you see, and how she has made you feel? Yes. Over time. i have been told time and time again, he does not judge me for whats in the past. What matters is who i am NOW and that of course i should let go and view myself as i am now and not let the past colour what i see. quote:
There is hope for her in my eyes, but how can she see what others see? i havent a clue as i still have yet to come up with a reason as to why he is actually with me. And i still at times wonder why he's actually with me. Whatch out for those whirl winds, as i still get caught up in them and find proof in this or that that supports that he's only with me for some negative reason. For example.. until something better comes along. And i have a million and one reasons why he's "really" with me. i have EVEN come up with a conclusion that he doesnt really want to be with me and he is only with me out of pity. Ug and thinking about it this way, i sorta of feel bad for him. Having to deal with my conclusions that rear their ugly heads from time to time. Its prolly not nice to be consantly told you are with some one because of some negative reason... Just thought i'd post from the "other side" of all this... tho i didnt realise i would learn something new. LOL Edited cos the post seemed really long, so i took out alot of returns.. so it looked shorter but also readable and symetrical if you will = )
