No argument that "junp starts" can help short term. Just saying that we can't depend on others to make us feel worthy, sexy or happy. Not our spouses and not some hot new chick in a bar.
It must come from within or it's not real and won't last.
I agree with this ^^. "Jump starts" are what our WAs/MLCers depend on to make them feel good. I do not want to be someone's emotional crutch, nor do I want someone to be my emotional crutch. Because then, what have I learned? That I can apply a band-aid as well as my partner did? I know everyone has different views on this and what is right for some is not a good fit for all.
But self-respect and self-love that comes from a pure place inside of each of us is right for all.
