The very first thing you need to do is know your own worth. If you don’t first recognize and understand your own worth, then you’re never going to be able to make a guy realize your worth. If you don’t know your own worth, then you’re going to need to work on that! You can do this by working on your self-love, self-acceptance, and self-belief.
