Securely attached individuals have a strong sense of selfworth from "summary" of Attached by Amir Levine,Rachel Heller
Securely attached individuals have a strong sense of self-worth. This means that they have a deep-rooted belief in their own value and worthiness. They are able to recognize and appreciate their own strengths and qualities, without being overly reliant on external validation. This sense of self-worth is a core aspect of their identity, and it allows them to navigate the ups and downs of life with confidence and resilience. One of the key reasons why securely attached individuals have a strong sense of self-worth is because they have had secure attachment experiences in their early relationships. These experiences have laid the foundation for healthy self-esteem and self-confidence. When caregivers consistently and sensitively respond to a child's needs, the child learns that they are worthy of love and care. This forms the basis for a positive self-image that carries over into adulthood. Securely attached individuals also tend to have a balanced view of themselves. They are able to acknowledge their flaws and shortcomings, without letting them define their sense of self-worth. They understand that they are human and imperfect, but this does not diminish their belief in their own inherent value. This balanced perspective allows them to accept themselves as they are, while also striving for personal growth and improvement. Another important aspect of self-worth in securely attached individuals is their ability to set boundaries and assert their needs. They are able to advocate for themselves and communicate their desires in a clear and respectful manner. This assertiveness is rooted in a deep sense of self-respect and self-compassion. Securely attached individuals know that they deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and they are not afraid to assert themselves in order to protect their own well-being. In summary, securely attached individuals have a strong sense of self-worth because they have experienced secure attachment in their early relationships, have a balanced view of themselves, and are able to set boundaries and assert their needs. This foundation of self-worth allows them to navigate relationships and life challenges with confidence and resilience.
