“We accept the love we think we deserve”
— Stephen Chbosky
Copied to clipboard
Simplified Meaning:
If someone believes they are only worth a small amount of love, they will be more likely to accept poor treatment or unhealthy relationships because they don't think they deserve anything better. For example, if a person has low self-esteem and thinks they’re not very valuable, they might stay with a partner who is not kind to them or does not treat them well. On the other hand, someone who believes they are worthy of great love will seek out and stay in relationships where they are treated with respect and kindness. Understanding this idea can help people work on valuing themselves more, so they choose relationships that are good for them. By realizing their own worth, they can have healthier and happier connections with others.
