It’s Sexy- Stand Up for You
There is not much that is more disheartening than watching a loved one be put down emotionally or verbally by another, and then watching them not stand up for themselves. This is very true in a relationship with a man and a woman. Most women want to know that their man will be there to defend their honor and back them up in difficult situations, and your man probably wants to do this for you. But if you can’t stand up for yourself it makes it hard for them to stand up for you.
Standing up for yourself and what you believe in is in a way saying to the world, “Hey, I respect myself and my beliefs”. Only talk about standing your ground then others will have a hard time respecting you. Your man wants to back up your beliefs as well, but if you can’t stand up for them you are telling the world that you don’t really believe they have validity.
When others see that you are willing to stand up to the world about how you are treated and that you are decisive about the people you associate with, it makes a profound statement. When you fail to do this and end up in the same or similar situations it is saying that you have no will and even you don’t think you are worth standing up for. Of course this makes it very difficult for others, including your partner, to stand up for you. They may think if they defend you now will it really make a difference? In a week or two will I find myself fighting the same battle since they can’t avoid it on their own? This can also be a hurtful thing to your partner, they defend you in a situation and you go right back and do the same thing.
Standing up for you shows an element of pride. This does not mean that you act out in a loud or obnoxious way but that you take pride in yourself and the way you deal with others as well. This is a very attractive attribute to have and many will look up to you for actually defending, in a positive manner, the things you believe in. You will soon see a change in yourself and the way people react to you when you decide that you are worth taking action for.
