This had far more to do with the person’s insecurities than it had to do with you.

This is someone who chose to date you.

Yet, she was ashamed of you.

In situations like this, it’s customary for you to believe that you are the one who bore all the shameful attributes in the relationship.

The woman you loved was ashamed of you.

This has to mean that there was something wrong with you.

This perception degenerates your perception of self-worth.

Before you know it, you are believing that there is much about you to be shameful of.

In the process of this mental degeneration, you become that much more attached to the person you are dating, believing that said partner is the only one who is capable of loving you.

All of this is the cruel outcome of all this.

When you date someone who is ashamed of you, this is the imminent path.

That’s why picking up on how unhealthy it is to keep dating a person that is ashamed of you in the early stages, is absolutely vital.

This is before you are so caught up in all the emotions that this type of manipulation elicits, you are too weak to save yourself from such an unhealthy situation.

This is someone who is insecure in herself.

She has deficiencies in herself that she has chosen not to resolve.

Rather, she finds a victim to offset all of her insecurities on.

That victim was you.

She knew you were easy prey.

This was her knowledge from the moment you started courting her.

In her mind, she knew that getting involved with a guy like you gave her an outlet to cover up her own insecurities.

It didn’t take long for her to show signs of apparent shame in having you as a boyfriend.

She never told anyone that she was dating you.

She didn’t want to hold your hand or be seen with you in public all that much.

There was no declaration of you as her boyfriend on her social media profiles, as she preferred to pretend that she was single.

You weren’t introduced to her family and friends, nor was she interested in being introduced to yours.

Before you knew it, you were looking to yourself as the problem.

How could you not?

A girlfriend that behaves in such a manner must think of you as degenerate.

Soon, you incorporated all of this to mean that you were of no value.

Sadly, at the time, you weren’t aware that she was the one who placed so little value on herself that she chose to manipulate you into believing that you were the one of little value.

A partner that acts with the intention of making you feel ashamed of your value, is covering up her own belief that she lacks value.

Oftentimes, a person who has had a history of abusive relationships adopts this approach to her future relationships.

To protect herself from judgment, if her insecurities were to come to light, she chooses to go after the emotional volatility of a future partner.

That partner was you.

She was fully aware that you were emotionally volatile enough for her to take advantage of.

Her behavior in showing that she was ashamed of you was how she took advantage of that emotional volatility.

Never permit this to happen again in any future relationship you are in.

A partner that does this never changes her stripes.

The behavior only gets worse.
