Know Your Self Worth…

We all want to be wanted and liked it’s completely normal but when does it become worrying for how much we want to be valued.

A trend that has emerged lately is the ‘Sayat.me’ site; I’m not really into following or keeping up with all the hypes but this one caught my eye.

‘Sayat.me’ is a site where people can anonymously say what they think about you. Personally, I don’t understand why you would want to do this or what anyone gets out of it; why would you want to know what a bunch of strangers think about you. I know that you might know them but why do their opinions matter.

I think it’s all very ridiculous. I just see it as an easy platform for bullying. Not everyone is going to like you and that’s fine you don’t need everyone to like you. Whilst you may be getting some lovely comments from people there is always going to be that 10% that isn’t going to be so nice and whilst this is horrible unfortunately this is life. The thing I don’t particularly like is the idea that people are sitting on their phones etc and reading all these comments about themselves and if some are negative they are more likely going to listen to the bad; this makes me sad because no one should be judged for anything; you are you and that is enough!

This site kinda reminds me of the ‘AskFM’ trend that was used for bullying and it resulted in some tragic suicides. Like what… that’s insane! People take their own lives because of what others say; words really do hurt! I’m not saying don’t use this site but be wary to what you put. Hiding behind a screen saying nasty things is cowardly and horrible; you don’t actually see the impact it has on someone’s life! So be kind about what you comment; just think how you would feel if you received that comment.

I feel that you shouldn’t care what other people think of you, everyone will have an opinion but the one that counts is yours and how you see yourself. Seeking comfort off others to make you feel better about yourself isn’t healthy; it’s nice to get a compliment now and again but you shouldn’t rely on others to make you feel good. Feel good within.

Love yourself, seek comfort within yourself and be happy with who you are. You are enough and you are definitely more than the comments you are reading. Learn to love yourself because there is no one like you in the world and that’s what makes you special.
