Summarize this article in one sentence.
Don't look for a boyfriend or a relationship to make you feel wanted or valuedit's a recipe for disaster. The more confident you are in yourself, the more compelling you'll be to your boyfriend and to other people in general. Humans are quite good at sensing when people are insecure or inauthentic, and it tends to be a universal detractor. It will inevitably leave you unsatisfied because no one else can truly make you feel valuedthat's something only you can do. If you place a significant amount of your self-worth in a relationship, you're entrusting your value to something that isn't about yourelationships are about two people learning to be, yes, in a relationship with each other. It not only doesn't make sense to see a relationship as a reflection of your own worth, it will ultimately backfire and leave you irrationally dependent on another person for your sense of self. Though he can and hopefully will provide supplemental love and support, he can'tand shouldn'tcarry the weight of all your physical and emotional needs. Set aside time to physically take care of yourself, whether that means taking a bath, going to the gym, learning self-defense, playing with your dog, playing a sport, etc. When you're physically well, you'll be more naturally confident and independent, a highly attractive attribute in anyone, and particularly in a partner. Make time to emotionally take care of yourself. Check in with yourself and how you're feeling, independent of your boyfriend. If you're not maintaining your own emotional health, it will very quickly begin to negatively impact your relationship.
Be confident in yourself. Place value in yourself rather than purely in the relationship. Take care of yourself both physically and emotionallydon't rely on your boyfriend to do it.
