I promise I wasn't daydreaming in class (too much)

You know what I really don't understand about some girls? They rely completely on guys to validate their self-worth. They refuse to accept any compliments from friends or family, but the minute a guy tells them they're pretty they start to feel better about themselves. They don't even consider how many guys out there will say anything to get what they want, and then they end up hurt. Then they have an even lowered sense of self-worth. It's a vicious cycle, and it totally baffles me that some girls will fall victim to it over and over again.

I'm not saying that every guy out there giving a compliment is full of b.s., and I'm not saying that the compliments aren't at least based in truth. I just can't stand the thought of girls basing their sense of personal value on what guys tell them. Honestly, I don't think they need to look for compliments from anyone. (Obviously friends and family will be more likely to offer them anyway.) I wish more girls out there would just learn to love themselves (cheesy, I know) and learn to be happy with who they are. They should be proud of the people they are becoming, and they shouldn't be putting themselves on hold in order to let a guy run their self-perceptions.
