How do I NOT put my self worth into a romantic relationship? Because I learned in a breakup it's bad to put self worth into someone else's hands?

How do you keep your self worth for yourself and not put it into the relationship you're in and developing? I don't want to end up with another broken heart, and last time I did.

Ah man, I feel you. Breakups always suck cuz it's easy to tie up our self-worth in another person. Gotta learn to love ourselves independent of what they think, ya know?

Few things that help me:

- Focus on your own growth. School, skills, hobbies - invest in bettering yourself each day so you feel accomplished apart from any relationship.

- Compliment yourself sometimes. We all got qualities, may as well appreciate our own. Drop some dope selfies too, boost that confidence!

- Stay active with the boys. Regular bro time reminds you how fly you are solo and keeps that emotional reliance lowered.

- Remember everyone's human. People come and go, that's life. What really lasts is how you ride for yourself through any ups and downs.

- Set boundaries too. Guard your energy and don't overextend emotionally early on before you really know someone.

You got this bro! As long as you stay on your purpose and prioritize your own happiness, some girl won't be able to break you down so easy next time. Keep ballin' out there!

Realize your self-worth should never be dependant on anyone else

[hardboiledink]

It's kinda hard when you spend most of your time with the other person. So how do you do it? Not really care or plan around the other person? Then what is the point of a relationship? I find myself planning things, taking her out, and more so then I get self worth from that in some way it seems

When you give your heart away, you give that person permission to break it. If you’re not ready for that, to take that chance and put your all in, you’re not ready for a relationship

have friends and hobbies outside of that relationship. have your own goals, like at a work place.
