Do you know how hurt it feels to hear someone we love having an extremely low self esteem about themselves? Like, they don’t feel they’re good enough for us while we are always thankful for his presence in our life. Well, that happens pretty often.

You must be at loss of words on what to say when your boyfriend thinks he isn’t good enough for you. You can assure him that it’s not true and you need to sound sincere while saying it. Because people with low self esteem are hard to convince. So here are some things that you can tell him.

  1. “I love you unconditionally.”

Yes, unconditional love means you won’t mind with all that he is. But doesn’t also mean that he is not good. In fact, he is so good that you decide to unconditionally love him.

He has to know that no matter what you will always love him, so he better chin up and have some confidence. Also read signs he's boyfriend material.

  1. “No one is to decide whether you’re good or not.”

Except you, no one is ever to decide it. You are the one in a relationship with him, so only you know whether he’s good for you or not. In case someone in against your relationship, you may tell him this. That person won’t do nothing with you.

  1. “We are together to complete each other.”

  1. “There is no exact measurement of goodness.”

Really, what can decide good and not good? Which means his perception is groundless and not based on solid facts. Because you are unable to decide goodness’ level of someone, he shouldn’t think that he is worthless too.

  1. “I never expect much from you.”

It’s better to tell him that he don’t need to feel so burdensome that he thinks he is not good enough for you. You love him for who he is and he never expect anything.

Expectation only lead to disappointment and another disappointment. So by loving him without expecting anything, you feel comfortable too. Also read What Do You Do When Your Boyfriend Goes Quiet On You
