As a man, if you are okay with being used for your resources it means you do not respect yourself. It means being alone is more terrifying to you than being with someone who only knows how to take. When you tolerate that dynamic, you are telling the world that your time, money, energy, and effort have no value. You are telling yourself that being drained is better than being alone. And you are teaching the other person that they never have to reciprocate, contribute, or show up with anything real. If you want respect from others, it starts with respecting yourself enough to stop funding your own mistreatment. #SelfRespect #MaleEmpowerment #Boundaries #RelationshipWisdom #EmotionalMaturity #KnowYourWorth
