Self-esteem is the inner voice that emerges when external noise fades. A strong personal value system creates boundaries, especially in dating. People with solid self-esteem don't tolerate nonsense, but respond with empathy rather than attachment.
Self-esteem is the voice you hear when the room is silenced, which is your own. Mm-hmm. And your ability to sit with self and be with self and be content and be happy and be proud and to value yourself. Right. And I think that usually a good indication of somebody who has a healthy self-esteem is they have a very strong set of values that they go by, right? And every value is different depending on the individual. And they utilize that value system to create boundaries, to allow themselves to navigate dating or the world in a healthy way. They don't allow for bullshit. Hmm. And even if they do, it's more so from an empathetic, compassionate approach as opposed to an attached approach. Mm-hmm. If that makes sense.
