Lack of Confidence can destroy Relationships

Women, more than men, tend to lack self confidence because of the way we’re made. Women are more nurturing and tend to care about what others think of them and are more sensitive to what others are thinking. Because of this caring/nurturing nature, women are more likely to suffer from low self confidence as opposed to men. Lack of self confidence can cause problems in relationships a couple of ways.

Low Self Confidence Causes Insecurity in Relationships

When you are not sure of yourself, you probably have a hard time believing someone could love you just the way you are, therefore, this causes trust issues. You tend to think your boyfriend or spouse is out cheating on you when they are late coming home, or perhaps you even find yourself trying to control their every move. These kinds of actions can cause the other party to want to end the relationship. This is true of friendship as well. Have you ever had a friend who couldn’t stand you being friends with anyone else? It’s because they are insecure in themselves and don’t believe you’re a true friend if you have more than one friend.

Low Self Confidence Can Cause Infidelity in a Relationship

When a person suffers from low self confidence, they may also tend to stray and cheat on their partner. For example, someone comes along who gives them more attention than their partner does, so they leave their spouse or boy/girlfriend for the one giving them more attention at that time. Instead of being secure in themselves and their relationship, a person with low self confidence flees from the first sign of trouble, or the first time someone else pays attention to them.

If you’ve been having trouble keeping relationships alive or find yourself trying to control your partners every move and always worrying about what they’re doing, you probably suffer from lack of self confidence.
