This is what they say Kim Kardashian said about her new beau. It made me wonder are there women out there who feel the same? Me? Just before I met my guy I finally discovered my worth.So my self esteem was in a good place. I do say having a good man see you as a great woman boozes my self esteem but he didn't give me my self esteem. How about you? Are the type of woman who looks to a man to make you feel worthy or if you a guy do you know a woman who is like this?

I've never seen a woman so dependent on a man emotionally than Kim Kardashian. She goes from guy to guy as if she'll find happiness in one of them. Newsflash, if you aren't happy with yourself you sure aren't going to be made happy by another person. That kind of happiness only lasts so long. It's sad.

Kim and her new beau have been friends for a long , long time. If she seeks happiness in a person , I do believe this will last longer than 72 days. Before anyone talked about self esteem, many a woman would look to be made happy by marriage. Back in the 50's that is what you were suppose to do, find a man so you could be happy.I agree that self worth is a great thing to have.Before I knew my worth, I really thought that happiness wasn't suppose to be mine. So I assumed every guy Was Suppose to leave. And even though I had my worth it took a long time to realize my guy was going to stay!So I hope Kim all the best.

I'll admit I've seen her show. And I was always struck that her, more than anyone in her entire family, sees herself only how the guy in her life sees her. It's like she's starved for love.
I'm looking for a guy to compliment my life, not complete it. I certainly don't want to put that burden on someone.

I never thought there would be a guy in my life period. So I never looked. My guy found me and... he didn't complete my wish list for my life. He is more than just a happy addition.
Kim is looking for love. I wonder if it is because she is a middle child? Or that she was her father's favorite? I don't know.I just have a feeling that her new beau is the One.

Well, I will say this. My evil ex had gotten her self esteem from me. I can vouch for that one. I guess I built her up too much. LOL. Just kidding. I did it out of love. But not anymore. I will not give any emotion. My current girl friend has her own and had her own self esteem. Although she does have a problem with not being able to say no to people. She is learning that not everyone is her friend. But thats a different issue. I like a woman with her esteem in tact. Now I am not in the position or have the energy to build anyone up again. We all have issues with self esteem at times.

T is a saint! She has a huge heart so she Wants to help almost everyone. I get it. I'm glad she is learning to say no once in a while. I have found that when you are with the right person, you support one another. My guy builds me up and I build him up. It isn't that I have no self esteem without him . It is that with him I have more self esteem.

Well, I am not saying that T has no self esteem. I mean that the evil ex had no self esteem. Not until I built her up. The only thing with T is that when she always says yes, things seem to fall on her lap and she winds up being blamed for things she has not done. Thats why I think she needs to say no much more often.

I am not one that usually looks to others for my worth. Most of the time people want to make you feel worse about yourself so they can feel better anyway..lol.
I feel good around my b/f but he is not the source of my self esteem. I do know women that base their worth on their mates and if it makes them happy..well...at least they are happy. I looked for it more on a personal basis.

The woman who said so was certainly the type of person that lacked assurance.She couldn't have a kappy marriage,if she attached herself to her guy so much.

For me I don't get myself esteem for my hubby. He might be a factor in it but its not just him. I think it has to do with others around me and what they say that helps with myself esteem and what I feel about myself.

I believe most of someones selfesteem comes form them selves and what they feel about themselves.

I think people always have this need of getting recognized and appreciated. This is related to one's self esteem too. Girls like some guy who notice them and look at something special about themselves. If the guy is a real great guy, he will give even more self esteem to the girl. The girl would be so satisfied that she would feel that she has something. The same goes for guys too as some girls can give them a boost too.

You just described my guy and me. He sees something special in me and I see something special in him.
