It's sad sometimes, to think there are so many women out there who view themselves from the eyes of others. They fail to see the real them, how special they are just because they exist. They refuse to give themselves the value they deserve thinking, they are not worth it.
How about you? How much do you value yourself? How much do you value the women in your life? Do you appreciate them for who they are or criticize them for what they are not? Are we suppose to degrade ourselves just because other people believe we are less than who we really are? Is it wrong to love yourself first before you reach out to love others?

I value myself that i do not like other to hurt me physically even verbally. I hate those who betray me and say bad things in my back. I better to have enemy who treat me fair than betray me in unfair manner. I value not only myself but also my loved ones if others hurt them then expect me to be their enemy too. If ever my loved ones have their own mistakes then i would not side with them i only side those who been unfairly judged.

your thoughts are real. i valued my life more, as a human. in my life, women having some values based on the relationships.
the degradation results spoils the self confidence.
i think right, love myself and try to love others.
thanks...........

We should all value ourselves before anything else. It is important that we do not forget ourselves. I for one, lost myself back then and only realized that I had to take care of myself when I was so down and out. It is very important to take care of ourself because only we can do it and no one else.

You have to have value for yourself. Everyone is worthy and deserving of what life has to offer. If you don't vaue yourself, how can you expect others to do so? We can be overly critical of ourselves. We can be our own worst enemy at times. We have to have faith and self confidence. Without it, we lose our drive and stamina and determination. Self value is a motivator. Believe it or not!

I love my girlfriend the way she is. I don't criticize her for something she is not. I accept who she is and who she is not. I don't think we should believe everything that other people are saying. The only person that only know who we really are is ourselves.

All people have value that can not calculated
Small children should be taught that they are Unique in the world
I disagree with parents of children who say bad words
They say they have "right"
The first lesson of psychiatry says something very simple
When a child says something stupid to be answered
-You said something stupid
If you say that child
-You are a fool
(in his mind ,child or adult,this is repeated many times and after a while he thinks that is a fool)

i agree with you cip116..it should start with children, we must teach them how to value themselves but if some of us were unfortunate to have parents who are not very supportive, we can make it an effort to discover ourselves and make a change for the better. thanks for your opinion. more ppower!
