Self Worth And How It Impacts Your Life\n\nI havemet many people who don't have any self worth or have low self worth. Some of the traits of someone who is lacking self worth are as follows: They allow people to walk all over them and they have a hard time saying no. They are afraid of hurting other people's feelings and tend to please people so they will like them. They also don't stand up for themselves or put importance on their own feelings. Most of the time the people who do this are very miserable, unhappy and feel like their life is out of control. They don't know their own value as a person so people walk all over them. You see self worth is the opinion you have about yourself and the value you place on yourself. So if you don't recognize your own value how can someone else. When you don't value yourself this opens up a vicious cycle of allowing people to take you for granted and walk all over you. Since you don't value yourself people won't stop taking advantage of you unless you put a stop to it.\n\nIf you can identify with this there are ways that you can build up your self worth. The first thing that you need to do is stop being around people who are negative and put you down. Also people who don't value you as a person and take advantage of you. It is very important to do this since being around those types of people keeps you in the vicious cycle. The next step that you need to take is to take some time to reflect on your gifts and great personalities traits. Write them down as you identify them so you can have something to look at and remind yourself on a daily basis.
