Perception of value: Our perception of someone's value can be influenced by their availability, but it's essential to appreciate those who genuinely value and invest in us
Our perception of someone's value in our lives can be skewed based on their availability to us. When someone seems hard to get, we may unconsciously attribute greater value to them due to a fallacious supply and demand mentality. However, this perspective can lead us to overlook the importance of being with someone who genuinely values and invests in us. It's essential to recognize and appreciate the value of those who are interested in us, rather than fixating on those who may be unattainable or uninterested. Ultimately, it's crucial to prioritize relationships with people who treat us well and are willing to invest in us, rather than chasing after those who may appear to be more valuable based on our skewed perspective.
Perception and self-worth: Our perception can lead us to create false narratives, seeking validation from others instead of treating ourselves with self-love and respect.
Our perception of people and situations can often lead us astray. When we encounter mystery or rejection, we may create false narratives about what's really going on. This can lead us to chase after unattainable or unhealthy relationships, based on a belief that we're not worthy of love or respect as we are. Groucho Marx's quote, "I wouldn't want to be a member of any club that would have me as a member," can be a tragic reflection of this mindset in our personal lives. Instead of seeking validation from others, we should focus on treating ourselves with the same love and respect that we'd show to those we care about most. When faced with unhealthy or unattainable relationships, it's important to remember our own worth and set boundaries accordingly. By treating ourselves with the same care and respect we'd offer to loved ones, we can cultivate a stronger sense of self-love and self-worth.
