what distinguishes between an overblown ego .. vs .. true self worth and confidence ?
There's a difference between being confidant and being cocky. Cocky is self-absorbed and unable to see past themselves in any situation because they desperately need to feel important. Confidance is more balanced. There's value placed on oneself, but not at the expense of others.
If you love yourself and are happy .. it only makes life more incredible to include someone into your life that makes you happy and makes you feel loved ... misery comes from not being genuine and honest .. lots of people "think" it's more than it is when they hook up .. then when the going gets a little rocky ..they cut and run
I see girls "advertising" themselves .. so what kind of men will they get ? better question is what kind of man do they want ?
shallow ..and maybe even someone else's .. but not one that is interested in them for more than the initial hormonal attraction
I couldn't agree more. Being genuine and honest with yourself makes it nearly impossible to be anything but that with another.
People are far too quick to, "cut and run," as you put it. People seem to forget that relationships are tricky. They take work, patience, honesty, and a genuine desire to get through the rough days and enjoy the beautiful ones. Loyalty is a quality that is hard to find these days, in both genders. The sanctity of relationships, whether one's own, or another's seems lost in the world of instant gratification.
