To You Who Get Hurt by Others' Words

To convey that "I know my own worth"

Hello.

There are times when a casual word or attitude from someone else makes your heart ache, aren't there?

You might think, "Why do I have to be spoken to like this?"

Or you might blame yourself, wondering, "Could it be that I am the one at fault?"

For you who have had such experiences, today I would like to share a story that might make your heart feel a little lighter.

What others' words really mean

The moment when someone's casual remark or attitude pierces your heart.

That is by no means a denial of your worth itself.

For example, let's say that person threw cold words at you.

But perhaps that person is seeing their own past or someone from their past through you.

Those words and attitudes were born from the other person's own memories and emotions,

and they are by no means a reflection of "you yourself."

Your worth is not determined by the reactions of others.

You may feel as though your worth is wavering
because you are being swayed
by the reactions of others.

But that is not the truth.

Your worth is not something decided by someone on the outside,
but something that you yourself know.

No matter what words are thrown at you,
no matter what attitude is taken toward you,

there is absolutely no way
that your worth will ever decrease.

Try telling yourself this to protect yourself.

When you are in pain or feeling hurt, please try speaking to yourself in this way.

"I know my own worth. I will protect myself, so please rest assured."

By gently directing words that protect yourself
toward yourself,
you will be able to feel
your heart gradually calming down.

It is okay. You are wonderful just as you are.

Everyone lives while experiencing painful things.

That is precisely why the one who can be close to
and heal your wounded heart
is none other than "you yourself."

"I can protect myself."

These words will surely become your strength.

Please, believe in your own worth and move forward with peace of mind.
