Erwin McManus explains how low self-worth drives people to choose partners who reflect that same inadequacy, trapping them in toxic cycles. Painful breakups reinforce the original feeling of being unworthy, making the pattern repeat until you fix what's broken inside.
We tend to match ourselves with a person that matches our own self worth. Wow, man. So if you have a low self worth, you're going to keep dating someone that validates that low self worth. Wow. And you're going to end up in a toxic relationship, and then you end up with a terrible breakup, and it's going to reinforce your sense of lack of self worth. And so I think if you keep going back to toxic relationships, you have to realize they're just a symptom of what's actually working inside of you, what's going on inside of you, and when, if you can deal with that inner turmoil, you can actually be ready for a better relationship.
